About Russell Gardens
Russell Gardens is a small village of older homes on the Great Neck peninsula near Northern Boulevard. Russell Gardens sits on the North Shore. Russell Gardens governs itself as an incorporated village within the Town of North Hempstead in Nassau County, and its village building department is usually the office that signs off on repairs. It covers roughly 0.17 square miles of land, according to the Census Bureau.
Its neighbors include Great Neck Plaza, Thomaston and University Gardens.
What Homes in Russell Gardens Are Like
Older houses define much of Russell Gardens: colonials, Tudors and Victorians with details that are expensive to reproduce. A fair estimate has to reflect plaster and lath, hardwood that must be matched, and the ordinance-or-law costs of meeting today's building code.
How Local Conditions Affect Russell Gardens Claims
Away from the coast, the most common losses in Russell Gardens are burst and frozen pipes, failed water heaters, appliance leaks and basement water. The remnants of Ida in September 2021 showed how fast heavy rain can flood basements far from the water, and whether a water backup endorsement is on the policy often decides those claims.
