Flower Hill Estates is a residential subdivision located within the Incorporated Village of Flower Hill, in Nassau County, New York.
History
Flower Hill Estates was built in stages between 1939 and the 1950s, and consists of 6 sections (Sections 1 through 6).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Hewlett Lane is named after the Hewlett family, as much of it was built over land that was once owned by the Hewlett family, who sold off their farmland to developers throughout the 20th century.[2][6][8] Members of the Hewlett family lived in the Flower Hill area for over 200 years, beginning in the early 1700s, and up until the 1980s.[8]
Sections 1 through 5
Sections 1 through 5 were developed by Walter Uhl, who started a home construction company called the Flower Hill Building Corporation.[2][3][4][5][6][7][9][10][11][12] Uhl began building in 1939, starting with homes on Country Club Drive, adjacent to the North Hempstead Country Club.[1] Many of these homes were built in the colonial style to fit in with existing properties.[1]
Notable roads in these sections of the subdivision include Country Club Drive, Hewlett Lane, Farm View Road, and Greenbriar Lane.[2][5][13]
Section 6
Section 6 of Flower Hill Estates was developed by Alrad Realty Co., Inc. in the 1950s.[7] This section of the subdivision consists of Cherrywood Lane, Wood Valley Lane, and Sunnyvale Road (formerly Bridle Path).[7][14]
School district zoning
The majority of the subdivision is zoned for the Port Washington Union Free School District. However, the southern portions of Section 6 of the subdivision are zoned for the Roslyn Union Free School District.[15]
