Floral Park and neighboring Glen Oaks, on the Nassau County line, are low-density suburban neighborhoods of detached single-family houses, most built after World War II. Source
These neighborhoods were built up in the first half of the 20th century, and many of their houses were built for veterans returning from the war and their families. Source
The area's shops are on Union Turnpike and Hillside Avenue, where the city maps commercial zoning along the stretches that have stores. The side streets are residential. Source
Glen Oaks Village, a co-op of 2,904 garden apartments in 134 buildings on 110 acres, was built in 1947 as affordable housing for returning GIs. It was a rental complex until it became a co-op in 1981. Source
North Shore Towers, near the city line, is three 33-story residential towers on 110 acres around an 18-hole golf course, linked by a shopping arcade. Source
