Harborview

HarborView is an upscale, gated 55+ active adult community set on Long Island's prestigious Gold Coast in Port Washington, just moments from the water and roughly 30 miles from Manhattan. Developed between 2002 and 2004, the community totals 270 residences — 125 fee-simple homes (a mix of free-standing single-family houses, semi-attached villas, and attached townhouses) plus The Addison, a six-story condominium building with 145 units and underground parking. Single-family homes range from about 2,371 to 3,440 square feet with three bedrooms, two-car garages, and features like dramatic ceilings, fireplaces, and spacious great rooms. Attached homes run 2,364 to 2,884 square feet, and condos span 1,064 to 2,484 square feet, some with golf course views. Life here is built around 24/7 gated security with concierge service and a clubhouse that functions as the social heart of the community. Residents enjoy a professionally staffed health club, indoor and outdoor heated pools, sauna and steam rooms, a fitness center with instructor-led yoga, aquasize, and stretching-toning classes, card rooms, a billiards/pool table, a grand ballroom, and multi-purpose meeting rooms. A community jitney shuttles residents to the Port Washington LIRR station, which puts Manhattan roughly 40 minutes away by train. The HOA handles landscaping, snow removal, water, sewer, trash, and common area upkeep, delivering a genuinely low-maintenance lifestyle. The location is a defining feature. Harbor Links Golf Course — an 18-hole course and a 9-hole executive course — sits directly across the street, and a public beach is within walking distance. Port Washington's Main Street, with its boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and movie theater, is minutes away, as is the upscale Americana Manhasset shopping destination. St. Francis Hospital, one of the top cardiac hospitals in the country, is less than a mile from the gate. I-495 is about ten minutes out, LaGuardia roughly 32 minutes, and JFK around 20 minutes, making both domestic travel and cross-country trips easy. HarborView is resale-only — new construction ended two decades ago — and homes turn over steadily as the Gold Coast continues to draw buyers seeking coastal luxury with big-city access.
