Home to the fictional Great Gatsby, Great Neck was one of New York City's earliest suburbs and its convenient commute -- 30 minutes by train to Manhattan -- still attracts wealthy buyers looking for a little more elbow room than the city can provide.

Home shoppers can find homes like this solid, 1937 brick Colonial on a quiet one-way street. It's been kept in mint condition and features a master suite and a full basement with a playroom for the kids, a laundry room and a cedar closet.
