As one of the oldest settlements in the country, New Hyde Park is a historic village with vestiges of the past that come alive thanks to the homes found in the area. The enduring value of older, more traditional styles is evident in the homes in this village, where a large percentage of the land is in use for single-family residences.
These historical and classic homes were designed by the best residential architects in New Hyde Park, New York, whom we have compiled into this list. These architects were chosen by our editorial team based on their strong background, local experience, and ability to design homes that suit the appearances and functions of the historical communities they belong to.

Recognized as a leader within the architectural community, Anthony S. Di Properzio, a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), is a design firm that has been serving the private and public sectors of the construction industry since its inception in 1976. The result of a merger among three highly successful architectural firms, the company today thrives on the recognition it has received from various industry organizations such as the AIA, the Council for Unity, and the Italian Charities of America.
One example of the firm’s work on a residential project is this Georgian Colonial Home. The viewer’s attention is immediately drawn to the portico with a terrace supported by four grand and crisp white columns. Symmetrical double-hung windows dot the brick face of the home and parts of its minimal landscaping spikes up to the second story of the structure. Two dormer windows and two brick chimneys sit atop the gabled roof, adding to the home’s classic and charming appearance.

A great example of the firm’s work is this home above. The home has a grand colonial-style façade, including a portico with a terrace supported by square columns, symmetrical window groupings, double-hung windows with dark shutters, and dormer windows. But from behind, the home is even more impressive, expanding horizontally into an L-shape. Inside, the home features many spacious areas for large gatherings or entertainment purposes. Of course, the homeowners can also enjoy the large home for themselves as there is plenty of space for each of the household members’ needs and desires.

One example of the firm’s work is this split-level home on Atlantic Beach. The split-level style has remained a popular style for homeowners since the 1950s. For this home, the mixed material sidings of clapboard and stone serve to delineate between the levels of the home. The combination of textures gives the home a rustic look that comes together with the balcony and front porch to give the home an open and airy feel, reminiscent of living in the countryside.
