Nassau County Homes For Sale -
Growth As America’s Ideal Suburb
Opened May 4, 1905, Belmont Park plays home to the Belmont Stakes – the third and final leg of horse racing’s “Triple Crown.” Legendary thoroughbred such as Secretariat, War Admiral, Man o’ War and Seattle Slew have graced and wowed the New York crowds at the park.
During the 20th century, Nassau County homes for sale saw unprecedented growth as New York’s boroughs became crowded. The 20s and 30s saw the sleepy farms transformed almost overnight into prototypical American suburbs. Tired of the matchbox living in the city, most migrants fled for the suburban niceties found only in Nassau County real estate's quaint surroundings. The communities of East Meadow, Wantagh, Massapequa and Franklin Square grew tremendously. These communities still feature large Italian, Jewish and Irish American populations.
