🏡 Long Island Tops Nation as Hottest Seller's Market

Nearly 11,000 buyers are competing for just over 7,300 homes on Long Island, making it America's tightest seller's market. Homeowners are sitting pretty with rising property values, but Nassau County residents should expect higher property taxes as a result. Sellers have the upper hand in this heated competition.

Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Site

Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Site in Oyster Bay is an arboretum and conservatory that fits both a quick reset and a longer, slower visit. A massive arboretum with historic greenhouses and estate-scale landscapes that don't feel like ‘just a park'. Winter-friendly nature: greenhouse warmth and quiet grounds. A solid ‘any-weather' nature day: do trails when it's nice, duck into the conservatory when it's cold or rainy. Expect Breath-taking nature, greenhouse warmth, and quiet estate vibes. If you’re touring Coe Hall, book ahead when required. Bring cash just in case for fees. In winter, the greenhouses are the main draw. Allow 2–3 hours if you want the full loop plus conservatories.
