About Elmont
For more than a century, Belmont Park has put Elmont on the map. Long recognized for its historic horse racing roots, the landmark property is currently undergoing a massive modernization. The entire venue is getting a brand-new grandstand and updated tracks, paving the way for the Belmont Stakes to return home. It brings both legendary sporting prestige and fresh energy right to the neighborhood's doorstep.
Right next door, UBS Arena has quickly become a premier entertainment hub and the home ice of the NHL’s New York Islanders. Beyond hosting major concerts and hockey matchups, the venue brought significant perks for local commuters. The dedicated Elmont-UBS Arena Long Island Rail Road station offers a direct, hassle-free ride into Manhattan, while new shops and restaurants continue to open up around the grounds.

Day-to-day life in Elmont revolves around solid neighborhood staples. The Elmont Memorial Library on Hempstead Turnpike serves as a lively community anchor, complete with a 430-seat theater that hosts regular concerts, plays, and family programs. For outdoor recreation, Elmont Road Park is the local go-to, featuring sports courts, baseball diamonds, playgrounds, and a splash pad that stays busy all summer. These spots give the suburb a grounded, friendly feel with plenty to do close to home.
