East Hills: Edward VIII, who abdicated to marry Mrs. Simpson, was once a guest of the Mackay estate, now a part of East Hills. Charles Lindberg also famously rested at the Mackay estate when he returned home after his 1927 solo flight to France.

Located in prestigious Nassau County on Long Island's North Shore, the upscale village of East Hills offers unique convenience and lifestyle amenities that few New York City suburbs can match. East Hills was originally the home of a select few and privileged families. When East Hills incorporated as a village in the Town of North Hempstead on Long Island, its patch of turf -- all 2.3 square miles of it -- was 98% pasture and farm land. Sixty-five homesteads took up only 2% of this property gem on the border of neighboring Roslyn, with its idyllic harbor gateway to majestic Long Island Sound.

If you're contemplating a move to this pricey area, it's never too early to begin searching for rental apartments in East Hills. Don't let the train leave the station without you and leave you behind the eight ball with a poorly prepared rental plan. Go online and source either an apt for rent or a home for rent if you've got a family in tow. If you're against the wall with an urgent eleventh hour decision at hand, an aggressive search might reveal an initial month to month rental that would tide you over until you can make a more informed decision regarding more permanent digs in the area.

These days, rental landlords are very protective of their properties. Make sure to bring a current photo ID (such as a driver's license), prior workplace and landlord character references and a current paid utility bill in your name for future landlord verification and validation purposes.
