Community Profile

The tiny village of Roslyn has a historic district with some 80 landmark sites. The area, anchored by the recently restored 1895 clock tower and the Roslyn Gristmill, has 18th and 19th century houses - Italianate, Federal and Greek Revival styles - and a variety of restaurants and boutiques along Main Street, East Broadway and Old Northern Boulevard.

Some houses have a view of the water in the 24-acre Gerry Pond Park, which has a gazebo, picnic area and playground.

Neighborhoods also include Colonials, split-levels and ranch styles. Sales in the last six months have ranged from $450,000 to $1.875 million, said Diane Stigliano of Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty in Roslyn Heights.

Sterling Glen of Roslyn, a 158-unit senior residence under the viaduct, which is being replaced, should be completed by spring, said Mayor John Durkin. The village is reviewing an application for 80 units of row houses on Old Northern Boulevard at the site of the former Stop & Shop.
