First-Time Buyer Guide: Hicksville

Hicksville is one of the more attainable ways into Nassau County homeownership.

Hicksville anchors central Nassau around the Broadway Mall and the South Broadway corridor, which has grown into one of Long Island's largest South Asian retail and dining districts. Housing is overwhelmingly single-family, with postwar Capes and ranches alongside newer colonials.

What you'll pay

Median sale prices run about $779,533 (Redfin, May 2026), around $504 per square foot. With homes moving in ~44 days, first-time buyers need pre-approval in hand and a clear budget before touring.

At $779,533, a 10% down payment is about $77,953 and 20% is about $155,906. A lender pre-approval tells you your real number.

Down-payment help

New York first-time buyers may qualify for SONYMA loans and down-payment assistance. See our SONYMA guide and down-payment assistance overview — several programs apply on Long Island, not just in NYC.

Commute

Hicksville station is one of Long Island's busiest LIRR hubs, on the Ronkonkoma, Port Jefferson and Oyster Bay branches — roughly 40 minutes to Penn Station and Grand Central.

Schools

Hicksville is served by the Hicksville Union Free School District. In Nassau, the school district is baked into the price — confirm the district for any address before you fall in love with a house.
