The Club at Melville

The Club at Melville is a gated 55+ condominium community set on 13 landscaped acres in the heart of Melville on Long Island, New York. Developed by Continental Pinewood Development Partners between 2015 and 2017, the community comprises 261 luxury condo units housed in three-story buildings — each with elevator access — arranged around a central pond and gazebo with wooded areas and manicured gardens throughout. A 24-hour manned gatehouse secures the single entrance, giving residents the peace of mind that comes with a true gated community. Homes range from 1,037 to 1,282 square feet with one or two bedrooms, one or two bathrooms, and an assigned parking space. Buyers can choose from roughly 20 floor plans, and units come appointed with stainless steel appliances, designer granite countertops, ceramic tile flooring, 9-foot ceilings, in-unit washer/dryer, central air, gas heat and cooking, and private covered balconies. Maintenance-free siding means residents spend their time enjoying the community rather than maintaining it. The community is resale-only — new construction completed in 2017 — and a small number of units are offered at below-market prices through the Town of Huntington's affordable housing program, making Long Island 55+ living accessible to a wider range of buyers. The social heart of the community is a 4,000-square-foot clubhouse designed with modern flair. Inside, residents find a lobby with fireplace, a great room and party room for gatherings, a fully equipped fitness center, a card room, billiards, a demonstration/catering kitchen, multi-purpose meeting rooms, and a ballroom-style event space. Outside, a heated swimming pool with sundeck, changing rooms, and an outdoor patio set the stage for warm-weather socializing. The centrally located pond and gazebo offer a quieter spot to read, walk, or simply enjoy the grounds. Social life centers on billiards, cards, and clubhouse events rather than the sprawling club rosters of larger Sunbelt communities — this is a smaller, more intimate neighborhood where residents know each other. The location is a major selling point. Melville sits at the midpoint of Long Island in Suffolk County, just over the Nassau County line, with the Long Island Expressway only three miles away. Target, Costco, restaurants, banks, cafes, and hardware stores are minutes from the gate. Manhattan is roughly 40 miles west and reachable in about 45 minutes by express train, while Long Island MacArthur Airport and JFK International Airport are both within about 45 minutes by car. For residents who want to stay close to family in the New York metro area but downsize into a low-maintenance, amenity-rich 55+ condo, The Club at Melville offers a rare option on Long Island.
