Local Area Information

Cove Neck is an incorporated village in the Town of Oyster Bay near the eastern border of Nassau County on the North Shore of Long Island, New York. The south side is bordered by the villages of Oyster Bay Cove and Laurel Hollow, and the rest is surrounded by the waters of Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbors. In the 2020 census, its population count of 293 made it the least populous among Nassau County’s 64 villages and the fifth least populous among the 96 villages on Long Island.

Cove Neck is among the wealthy coastal communities on Long Island’s legendary “Gold Coast,” which gained prominence when many lavish estates and mansions were built in the area at the turn of the 20th century. The village’s most significant slice of history is carefully preserved on the grounds and in the museum of the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site. It was once the home of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th U.S. President and Cove Neck’s most famous and beloved resident.

After his presidency, Roosevelt continued to live at Sagamore Hill until his death in 1919, and the community was incorporated as a village in 1927. Other estates in Cove Neck include Dolonar, the Harbourwood farm complex and Yellowbanks, the historic estate of James Alfred Roosevelt that served as his summer home and is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Besides historic estates and Gold Coast mansions, Cove Neck’s single-family homes include more contemporary luxury properties and waterfront houses enjoying breathtaking water views of the harbor and easy access to the Long Island Sound. Plenty are much larger than 4-bedroom homes and feature a wealth of amenities, including private pools on expansive lots.

Cove Neck is roughly 30 miles northeast of Manhattan, New York City, and served by the Oyster Bay Station via the Long Island Rail Road’s Oyster Bay Branch. Driving to or from the city takes about an hour and five minutes to an hour and a half via the Long Island Expressway or Northern State Parkway. The village uses the 11771 ZIP code.
