A Whole New Side of Wildlight

WHAT’S NEXT

The natural outcome of what came before

Wildlight began with a single overarching objective: to help Nassau County grow in a smart, healthy, nature-connected way. We had a phrase for our vision: “town in nature.” It’s an idea that has inspired every facet of Wildlight’s community design. From the big front porches to the unique parks to the neighborhood shops and restaurants to the trail network that ties it all together.

And with the next chapter of Wildlight, we’re delivering on the promise of “town in nature” in an even bigger way. Especially when it comes to the nature part.

Laying the groundwork

Wildlight today

the town district

When the actual development of Wildlight began in 2016, we started with what Nassau County most needed. Places to eat and shop, including a new grocery store. A new public elementary school. More parks and gathering places. And a variety of new homes.

We brought all these elements together in a way that makes everything close to everything else. Giving you an easy walk or bike from home to school to park to taco joint. This is how towns used to be planned back before we decided to drive our cars everywhere. So with this energetic mix of homes, offices, shops and eateries, it just seemed to make sense to call the first big part of Wildlight the Town District.

And the Town District is still growing. In fact, we’ve started work on a brand new neighborhood, Westerly Park, which will introduce new single-family and townhome choices in 2025 as well as a new park + pool amenity in 2026.

Within a short span of years, the first part of Wildlight has grown into a diverse, walkable mix of elements.
