East Norwich can compete with the best of the rest on Long Island in terms of a dream quality of life. The town is well located, has a pleasing closeness to nature and has been developed with all needs of a modern family in view. It provides a supportive and encouraging atmosphere for children and has good facilities for the adult members of a community as well.

East Norwich shares a Public Library with Oyster Bay. It matches its peers on Long Island and elsewhere with a full range of Internet options that include extensive databases and links for children and adults. Generous grants have allowed purchase of DVDs and Videos as well as the provision of Computer and Internet literacy courses.

There are three Schools in the District covering Grades 2 to 12. The expenditure per pupil is relatively high because of tight fiscal management. The faculty-student relationship continues outside the classroom and the schools lay due emphasis on sports and recreation. The Soccer Club has opportunities for both boys and girls and there are intramural tournaments and travel to other towns as well.

The Muttontown Preserve is a Park that residents can enjoy. It is made of more than 500 acres of wild countryside. It is one of the largest and most beautiful Parks on Long Island. There are planned trails for nature lovers and skiing runs that can be used in winter. The Park's greatest advantage is the awareness it promotes about local flora and fauna amongst the young. The Preserve also sites the Chelsea Estate which is one the National Register of Historic Places.

Golf is another attraction of East Norwich life. The Muttontown Club and the Pine Hollow Country Club each have 18-hole courses with tree-lined fairways and challenging undulation and water traps. Sand bunkers add to the fun for both casual and serious followers of the game.

First appearances at the East Norwich Inn can be deceptive. It is not a modern building and bereft of glass, granite and the other Manhattan trappings of lodging opulence. There is no one to open the door on your arrival and sirens sound only very rarely. However, you can rest assured that a warm smile will welcome you, that your room will have every modern convenience and high speed Internet will make home seem next door, no matter how distant it may be. The cottages that this hotel offers long-term guests are equally beguiling, though in a way that should make the person footing the eventual bill is careful-the facilities are of a standard that people do not want to leave and make excuses to linger in town!

Rothmans's Steak House is the best place for a meal if you have a visitor to whom you would like to display the best of American fare. Japanese, Italian and Chinese restaurants are also available in East Norwich.

East Norwich has 17th century origins and all the trappings to make it a most desirable place to purchase a home, work and raise a family. The town sports a number of enterprises ranging from small stores to larger, professionally run companies. The rustic ambience stands in pleasing contrast to the proximity of New York City. Just 3 thousand people live in this 1 square mile area, but it is sure to attract increasing numbers as word spreads of its advantages and benefits.
