Various locations in Manhasset's downtown have been featured in a number of movie scenes. The 2013 movie, "The Wolf of Wall Street," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, was partly shot in central Manhasset, while the 2014 movie "This is Where I Leave You," starring Tina Fey, had scenes shot at a house in Munsey Park.

The hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) Manhasset, whose Native American name translates to the rather lovely English term "the island neighborhood," is located in Nassau County, New York. The local economy is in-part driven by a high-end open-air shopping center, the Americana Manhasset, which is located on the "Miracle Mile" at Northern Boulevard, making this an ideal spot for those with an affinity for pretty things.

Moving to Manhasset

It's true to say that there's certainly no shortage of home rentals in Manhasset, which is perhaps just as well given its proximity to the big NYC, a mere 35 minute train journey to the west. So, with that said, don't be tempted to hesitate once you do find an apartment or it will be snapped away from your fingers in an instant. Instead, when you're ready to begin your search for accommodations, come armed with the necessary paperwork and have enough cash flow to cover the first month's rent and the deposit, which usually will be equivalent to a single month's rental. If you do, you'll be in the perfect position to sign on the dotted line and snap up the keys to your new pad.

The Time Factor

Whether you're looking for a 2 bedroom apartment, a studio, or an all bills paid apartment to rent it should be a breeze. Given the sheer level of availability in the area, you'll no doubt be able to find something extremely suitable within a matter of a couple of weeks without a single drop of sweat forming on your creased brow. It's easy does it in Manhasset, you know!
