Community Profile

Tree-lined neighborhoods, recreational areas, a luxury hotel, private golf courses and a university are a sampling of what Garden City has to offer.

Many buyers are attracted to the schools, and commuters like the choice of railroad stations (Garden City, Merillon Avenue and Stewart Manor), said Fortune Heaney, an agent at Dougall Fraser Real Estate in Garden City.

The village has police and fire departments and sanitation services.
