It lies 3.5 miles north-east of North Hempstead, NY (from North Hempstead, NY: bearing 39°T), and is situated 6.4 miles south-south-west of Oyster Bay. The terrain, gently rolling and well-watered, supports a verdant tapestry of mature woodlands and thoughtfully designed gardens. Sunlight, especially in the late afternoon, filters through the dense canopy of trees, casting shifting patterns of light and shadow that lend a quiet, almost sacred, atmosphere to the winding lanes. The air, often carrying a hint of damp earth and blooming flora, hums with the muted sounds of distant activity, a gentle counterpoint to the prevailing stillness. The history of Old Westbury is deeply entwined with the Gilded Age, a period that saw the rise of opulent country estates built by New York's wealthiest families seeking refuge from the city's clamor. These grand residences, many of which remain, speak of a time when agriculture, though ornamental, still played a role, with expansive fields and working farms contributing to the self-sufficiency of these private enclaves. Today, while the economic engine has shifted, the legacy of that era persists in the preservation of its architectural marvels and the unhurried pace of life that defines Old Westbury. The presence of notable institutions and the commitment to maintaining the natural beauty of the land are hallmarks of this distinctive locality.
