The region of Great Neck sits on a peninsula on the North Shore of Long Island and includes several villages: Great Neck Village, Great Neck Estates, Great Neck Plaza, Kings Point, and Russell Gardens. These communities have become ideal places to settle down, especially for those working in nearby New York City.
If you are considering moving to this area as well, here is a list of some of the best custom home builders in Great Neck who have plenty of experience building in Nassau County.
