This cozy 0.9 square mile hamlet is perfect for anyone looking to breathe a little fresh air away from the bustle of the big city.

Moving To Hewlett

Hewlett's household income and home value median is noticeably higher than the state of New York, so it isn't hard to do the math. Don't fret Hewlett's placement near pricier towns such as Hewlett Harbor and Woodsburgh means you get the comforts of a higher priced real estate market without having to fork out the same costs.

Housing Choices

You have a great choice of where you want to live; more than half of the houses in Hewlett are detached, while the rest range from two to ten more unit structures.

Historical Homes

If you're looking for a house to rent in Hewlett, know that close to 75% of the houses there were built in 1959 or earlier. If high energy bills and maintenance are a main concern, make sure that you ask about any of features the structure might have to keep it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. On the flip side, you will likely enjoy conveniences not guaranteed in modern homes such as thick walls, vents and light-reflecting finishes. The great thing is that these historical homes also have great personality, and the esthetics of many Hewlett town homes and premier apartments follow suit. It is also possible to find an apartment with heat and hot water included in the rent; the long-standing Fairfield Courtyard does, so be sure to inquire when talking to property managers.

Shopping Hours

Thankfully, the Internet cuts back on your time beating the street during your home search. If a home is available, the listing will provide a way to contact the agent often with a contact box that allows you to ask specific questions. Realtors and landlords would rather meet you during the weekday work hours, but many are willing to make personal appointments.

Signing Day

The application process may vary a bit between private and corporate renters, but always be prepared to provide proof that you are able to consistently pay the rent, your rental history and at least the first month's rent and another month's rent as the security deposit.

Hewlett Neighborhoods
