Colonial Estates at Flower Hill is a residential subdivision located within the Incorporated Village of Flower Hill, in Nassau County, New York.
Description
Colonial Estates was built in the 1930s by Newell & Daniel, on land that was formerly part of the Munson estate; Carlos Munson was the heir to the Munson Steamship Company.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] When this subdivision was built, Newell & Daniel stated that the country-like location of Colonial Estates was a major selling factor among buyers.[1] The main entrance to the development is at an intersection with Manhasset Woods Road, and a total of 2,000 flowers – 1,000 on each side of the street – were planted there when the subdivision was built.[1] Newell & Daniel built the homes in Colonial Estates as modern replicas of historic Colonial mansions, complete with then-new amenities, such as air conditioning.[1][2]
Notable streets in this subdivision include Northwoods Road and Dogwood Lane, and the southern edges of the subdivision border the Village of Munsey Park.[6][8]
