Sylvan Lake is a distinctive Great Neck neighborhood built around its namesake private lake, which comes with a residents-only sand beach -- a rare amenity for the area. Homes range from original brick ranches from the 1960s-80s to fully remodeled properties and even new construction, with architectural styles running the gamut: Ranch, Contemporary, Transitional, and Farmhouse. Streets like Sandee Crescent, Egret Point, and Thunderbird Drive wrap the lake, and several homes back directly onto the water with private decks and beach access. Recent sales have ranged from $770,000 to $1,475,410. The neighborhood is zoned for Alanton Elementary, Lynnhaven Middle, and First Colonial High School, with a self-managed Sylvan Lake HOA covering roughly $21-25/month.
