North Hills, nestled in the Town of North Hempstead on Long Island’s North Shore, is a village known for its upscale residences, gated communities, and a strong sense of privacy and security. With a population of 5,464 as of the 2020 U.S. Census, North Hills offers a peaceful and exclusive lifestyle that appeals to families, retirees, and professionals alike.
But beneath its serene and well-manicured exterior lies a village with a rich and complex history. Formed by glacial activity over 11,000 years ago, the area now known as North Hills was once home to the Matinecock, a Native American tribe. European settlers established farming in the mid-17th century, and by the 19th century, the area was dominated by large estates, such as those owned by Isaac Underhill Willets.
The village was officially incorporated in 1929, primarily as a tax shelter to protect residents from rising property levies and to secure home rule. The name "North Hills" was chosen for its geographical accuracy—located in the northern hills of Nassau County.
The residential makeup of North Hills—characterized by gated communities, luxury condos, and secluded estates—often presents unique legal challenges. While the village is known for its tranquility, personal injury accidents can still and do occur, from motor vehicle collisions on major roadways to slip-and-fall incidents in private developments or commercial establishments.
At Sullivan Brill, we bring decades of experience in handling a wide range of personal injury cases, including:
Auto Accidents – Including crashes on the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway
Premises Liability – Falls or injuries in residential communities, country clubs, or commercial centers
Medical Malpractice – Cases involving hospital or physician negligence
Construction Site Injuries – Despite zoning restrictions, occasional construction work leads to site accidents
Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect – Especially relevant given North Hills’ older demographic
Wrongful Death – For families dealing with the devastating loss of a loved one
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks – Particularly in residential areas with private property
No matter how complex the situation, our attorneys are skilled in negotiating fair settlements and, when necessary, fighting aggressively in court to ensure our clients' rights are protected.

North Hills is known for its gated communities and low-density zoning, making it one of the more exclusive places to live on Long Island. The village covers approximately 2.8 square miles and is bisected by major highways, including the Long Island Expressway (I-495) and Northern State Parkway, making travel convenient while preserving the village's insulated character.
The demographic landscape reveals a mature population, with nearly 28% over the age of 65 and a median age of 54. While this contributes to a calm and refined atmosphere, it also raises concerns for elder safety, mobility, and proper care—making nursing home neglect and trip-and-fall incidents an unfortunate reality for some.
Community spaces like Lowell H. Kane Park, named after a former mayor, offer recreational outlets, while private clubs such as Deepdale Golf Club symbolize the village’s affinity for high-end leisure. In fact, the village famously attempted to acquire Deepdale through eminent domain in the 2000s to make it resident-exclusive—reflecting both the community's cohesion and its unique approach to civic engagement.
North Hills’ modern identity was shaped in part by controversial rezoning plans in the 1960s through the 1980s. Efforts to permit high-rise buildings and commercial properties sparked significant pushback from neighboring communities. The plans were initially rejected but eventually passed after substantial modifications. Today, the village maintains a balance between upscale housing, small commercial zones, and preserved natural areas.
This complex planning history adds legal texture to matters of property liability, construction injuries, and zoning disputes, which we are well-equipped to navigate.
If you or a loved one in North Hills has been injured due to someone else’s negligence, trust the personal injury attorneys at Sullivan Brill to handle your case with the discretion, professionalism, and diligence it deserves.
We understand the values of this elite community and are proud to be part of your extended support system. From car accidents on I-495 to slip-and-falls at private events, we will fight for your compensation and peace of mind every step of the way.
