About Our Community

Syosset Mobile Home Park is home to 70+ families. Our community has quietly co-existed within Syosset since at least 1926 which makes it 80 years old and many Syosset residents are unaware of our existence.

The mobile homes within the park are resident-owned and the land lot is rented. There are three rental properties in the community and those structures are park-owned. Our lot rents of $500-600 covers taxes, wafer, sewers, trash removal and snow removal. Unlike mobile home parks in other parts of New York State, we here at Syosset Mobile Home Park are p~ eligible for the STAR Rebate Program (as per Nassau Counly) as we are assessed as a single lot and not per each individual mobile home lot.
Our community is home to nine single parent families and 26 one person residences, in addition to households ranging in size from 2-5 indMduals/family members. Some of our residents have lIved here for over 20 years and one family is now raising our first third generation residents. In our community are eight children enrolled in the Syosset School District, some of whom are diagnosed with learning disabilities, cerebral palsy and autism, as well as a teacher within the Syosset School District, Additionally, we have seven senior citizens that are currently lMng on Social Security, Iwo families receMng State Disability and four families receiving Social Security Disability.

Our community atmosphere brings to mind days of old where neighbors knew each other, children played outside together, parents didn’t have to escort their children to a neighbors house for fear of what might happen on the way there and crime was something that happened in someone else’s community.

A Brief History

The site, Oaks Trailer Park, now known as Syosset Mobile Home Park began as a campground back in 1938/1939 and has always been a “mobile community”. It slowly developed into a mobile home park as mobile homes became affordable alternatives to traditional stick built homes. The properly was owned by the Horowitz family and was passed down from Harry and Muriel Horowitz to their son Sanford, The park was managed under Hormi Holding Company (est. 1960). Sanford Horowitz (of Hormi Holding) sold the park to STP Assoc., LLC. (est. 7/12/06) on 4/2/07 and the park residents were notified of the sale on 4/9/07.
