Lake Success Homes and Condos for Sale
Lake Success is part of the esteemed Great Neck area, in the town of North Hempstead, Nassau County, Long Island, New York. Village lore has it that the town name comes from the Native American name for the local kettle lake, “Sucut”. The largest of three lakes in town is a ‘“kettle hole” lake, gouged out by glaciers during the last Ice Age. Some of the land in the area is the highest on Long Island. Lake Success is one of nine villages that make up the Great Neck area. In the early 20th century, William K. Vanderbilt II purchased land around the lake for a home, the village was incorporated in 1926. The United States government, in 1930, bought a large tract of land on which to build a facility which would build maritime, military, aerospace, and navigation products. After WWI, the plant which had produced wartime products became the temporary headquarters of the United Nations from 1947 to 1952. Much of the original housing in the village consisted of modest ranch homes use by United Nation diplomats. When the headquarters for the United Nations was completed in New York City, Lockheed Martin purchased what had been the temporary headquarters. The facility is now a multi-tenant office park. In addition to a rich history, Lake Success also boasts a wonderful location just 16 miles from downtown center Manhattan. The village is comprised of 1,196 acres, approximately 2 square miles, most of it being land but 43 acres of it being water. The zip codes in the village are 11020 and 11042, and the population is approximately 3,030 residents.
Most of the children in the area attend Great Neck School District. Areavibes.com gives Lake Success a 83 out of 100 points for liveability.

Some truly huge mansions were built here until city ordinances limited the size of homes that could be built on a standard lot. Some refer to Lake Success as an “ungated gated community” because of all the beautiful homes here. The village is culturally diverse.
