Great Neck is an "area" on Long Island which is geographically shaped as a peninsula and is divided into many villages in order to maintain a strict building code which keeps home prices high. Great Neck is the first suburb on the north shore of Long Island outside of New York City. Great Neck is predominatly a Jewish neighborhood with a high percentage of Persian Jews. There is also a large number of Asain-americans and young professionals. The culture of Great Neck is one which is very unique to itself, there is a significant amount of wealth, much of which is concentrated in Kings Point, which is the northern most village in Great Neck and has essentially the most desirable real estate. This area is also recognized as "West Egg" in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which also accuratly portrays the area even in todays terms.
The spectrum of automboiles in Great Neck is also one of a kind, exotic cars from all makes can be spotted throughout the peninsula. Middle Neck/Lakeville Road is the lifeline of the area which cuts straight through the middle of the peninsula and has access to a majority of the villages.
In Great Neck, there is a high excess of police officers. Between Nassau County, Kings Point, Kensington and Great Neck Estates Police, the area is under close survalence. Though there is essentially zero crime, except for white colar offenses, and minor teenage drug dealers.
The central-town area of Great Neck has a broad range of shops and restaurnts, but many establishments are unable to open in the area because of the strict codes. For example: a McDonalds could not be opened because of the potential crowd it could invite. Because of its close proximity to New York City, Great Neck is also a commuter city with buses running frequently and a highly used Long Island Rail Road stop which allows direct access to Penn Station/NYC.
Great Neck is also known for its prestigious school system, which its high schools anually rank in the top 50 of the United States best high schools.
Overall , Great Neck is a wealthy suburb/commuter area with a diverse crowd of people. Becuase of its high costs the town is well manicured and due to its geography it is isolated from other parts of New York which makes it a very unique place that would be either loved or despised by anyone who encounters it.
While standing on Middle Neck road in Great Neck, I noticed a ridiculous amount of Range Rovers and S550's passing between Gino's Pizzaria and Squire Cinemas.

A really Rich Jewish Community on Long Island.

wealthy, very well-to-do suburn in long island. while a part of it is relatively middle-class, the houses in king's point (a village in great neck) don't go for less than a million. to be sure, it isnt exactly a thing to brag about if ur house is 1 to 2 million dollars, since that isnt very special in great neck. 95% jewish; israel is popular vacation destination 4 great neck ppl as well as carribean/florida/skiing places like aspen or andirondacks
girls will spend 80 dollars on a top and juicy, lacoste, letigre, and abercrombie are the general favorites. very jewish and jappy town, go look up the definition of jap (Not the japanese jap). coach, prada, lesportsac and louis vuitton are the handbag favorites, girls enjoy saying, "like," and "totally" and hardly anyone goes 2 boarding schools cuz the great neck schools are in the top fifty public schools in the country.
the kids, for all their jappiness and spoiledness, are actually rather nice. they are fierce about education, nothing special 2 b A student, and like ten kids are intel semifinalists each year and more go 2 ivy leagues AND NOT BECUZ OF THEIR DAD'S MONEY, ok? they actually work. cornell loves great neck especially, 4 some reason. there was a great shock a couple years back when no one got into yale at one of the high schools, oh and yea, HOMETOWN OF SARAH HUGHES! (2002 figure skating olympic gold medalist)
very pretty town, with lots of mercedes/beemers/general SUVs running around, oh yea, and all the kids compete over who has the most lavish, expensive, b mitzvah, who has the best giveaway (usually personalized sweatshirts, sweatpants)
very little crime. a buglary will shock the public for weeks and weeks,
not an outrageously rich town like greenwich, but definitely pretty wealthy.
great neck is such a jappy place

people think its more like a Jewish community. well it is somewhat but it is actually pretty diverse. the most famous brand is definitely abrecrombie or coach. for the most part houses are freakin awesome! and the schools are good. but great neck south is way better than great neck north. the middle school in south is bigger than the high school in north. and trust me great neck is not filled with japs! ya there are japs. but for the most part there are more class clowns in great neck! not even a single day u wont laugh in atleast one class! so great neck is gud. ya peeps try to be ghetto but there are actually ghetto kids 2! try coming here nd u'll understand y
great neck has bagelman, coldstone, the squire and fun places like dat!

one of the many areas in virginia beach which is inhabited by rich white people. most of the girls are orange year round from tanning too much and are infatuated with the latest louis vuitton purses or polo outfits. guys are usually too busy worrying about the surf or when the parents will be gone on their cruise so they can get completely shitfaced... which actually doesnt matter because the parents wont do anything about it anyways.
The mother of the house probably takes tennis lessons twice a week when she isnt attending PTA meetings or shopping at all the cute surf shops.
The father is busy working the 9-5 which pays for all the new clothes, new cars, and huge house for the family. dont feel bad though, he gets drunk every night with his buddies when he gets off.
basically great neck consists of a bunch of people who are fake, rich, snobby, and alcoholic. not everyone fits this discription, but everyone knows someone who does.
bob: wow, i cant believe ashley got a new lexus for her 15th birthday.
tim: yeah, her parents figured she has her permit now, so why not get her a car?
bob: typical great neck family.

Great Neck is a very diverse town. North High School is filled with mostly Persians and Israelis. There are also a lot of Americans, or amrics as the Persians would say, but not as many as the Persians. More Asians are beginning to attend North. South is completely filled with Asians. Everywhere you look is an Asian. The North kids are extremely jappy but what town doesn’t have japs. The high schools are both ranked in the top 50 of the country with South being top 5 due to the Asians. All Persians believe they are professional DJ’s and DJ at a party when someone “throws down”. Nobody hangs out on Friday night because most of the town does Shabbat. You will legit have a party in the middle of the week. Darty season is a time when everyone looks forward to. This is when people throw day parties during the summer at their pools. Mostly this happens in Kings Point because that’s where all the huge houses with pools are. You won’t find a home under a million dollars in Kings Point or almost anywhere in Great Neck. Having a house that $1-$2 million is not something to brag about because everyone has houses way more than that. The tennis teams are excellent but other than that, North’s athletics are not very good. Making the North tennis team is an honor, especially if you aren’t persian, because tennis is THE sport. Everyone chills at Gino’s for pizza, or Daruma for sushi. Oh, and if you haven’t tried a deli on the green iced coffee, you are crazy. So yeah, that’s great neck!
I live in Great Neck, New York.
