Munsey Park, NY

Munsey Park is a small incorporated village in the Greater Manhasset area of Nassau County. Its origin is unusually specific: publisher Frank A. Munsey left his large estate to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the land was later developed into a planned residential village. Local government is centered on the Village of Munsey Park, and the place still feels deliberately residential, with residential streets, high property values, and close ties to the schools, shops, and commuter routes around Manhasset.
