Low tax rates and efficiency are part of New Hempstead's history
The village of New Hempstead is home to about 5,500. Much of the area is still rural. Winding, tree-lined county roads pass older farmhouses and newer single-family homes on large lots of a half-acre or more. “One of the most appealing aspects of New Hempstead is that it is very well run and has the lowest taxes in the county,” says Naomi Streicher, a Realtor with Q Home Sales. She says it has been that way since it was incorporated in 1983. “New Hempstead’s first mayor, Larry Dessau, used to sweep the village sidewalks himself to save money,” says Streicher, who has immediate family living in the neighborhood.
Large lots and space between neighbors, regardless of home style
Like most of the Hudson Valley, there are differing home styles in New Hempstead that reflect varying tastes and trends in housing over the centuries. Streicher says there aren’t a lot higher end homes in the area, but what is there are good, average homes that are practical and affordable. Homes in New Hempstead on average sell for about $650,000 for a three-bedroom home to around $1.8 million for a spacious, six-bedroom home. Because homes are spread out on larger lot sizes, it is a car-dependent neighborhood. It is easy to reach major highways.
Access to buses and the Palisades Interstate Parkway to NYC
New Hempstead, like all of Rockland, is considered a suburb of New York City. The Palisades Interstate Parkway runs through the middle of the neighborhood, making the 32-mile commute to Manhattan straight forward. Several bus lines offer daily routes to the Big Apple. There is a park-and-ride at Eugene Levy Memorial Park for those who want to catch a bus or meet their carpool.
East Ramapo Central schools have rising ratings
The East Ramapo Central School District oversees local schools in the neighborhood. Hempstead Elementary School has a student body of 441 and serves kindergarten through grade six. It has a C-minus rating from Niche. Pomona Middle School is in the nearby town of Suffern. It has a student body of 554 and a C-minus rating. Ramapo High School has 1,517 students. After school officials spent the past year making improvements to the school, Niche gave the high school a B-minus.
Century-old farmers market and dining in nearby villages
Streicher says a new shopping plaza has recently opened in New Hempstead, complete with a CVS. There is a Key Foods Supermarket 2 miles away in Spring Valley, and Wesley Kosher Supermarket is about a mile away in Monsey. For those who enjoy farmers markets and fresh produce, the Orchards of Concklin has been a popular fixture in New Hempstead for more than a century. The Concklin family began farming in Rockland County before the Revolutionary War. Visitors to the farm can pick their own apples, buy locally grown produce, baked goods, eggs and specialty foods.
There are plenty of dining options in nearby villages and hamlets. Enjoy one of the coBea Coffee's many caffeine offerings and dig into a delicious omelet. For lunch, Three Boys Deli is worth the three-mile trip to Pomona. In addition to hearty sandwiches at reasonable prices, the sandwich shop also offers a full breakfast menu and an array of baked goods. Michael’s on Main in New City is a quick 4-mile drive. The restaurant offers new American cuisine presented with a flair. It’s a fine-dining experience in small-town Rockland County.
Playing at Eugene Levy Memorial Park or Herb Reisman Sports Complex

For baseball fans, Clover Stadium is home to the New York Boulders, an independent team. Golf lovers will enjoy the New York Country Club. This premier facility has an 18-hole course set on scenic hills with views of the Manhattan skyline.
