ABOUT OLD CHESTER HILLS

Old Chester Hills was developed by Wade & Wichard from late 1954 to 1957.  Resembling an old New England settlement, Old Chester Hills lies on rolling, richly tree-dotted land in Huntington, New York.  The individual homes, set along winding country lanes, conform to that terrain so ranch homes have an expanse of broad lawns, while split level homes rest on hillsides for which they were meant.  Each home in Old Chester Hills occupies approximately one acre of grounds, landscaped to the part of the community scene as a whole.

Today, Old Chester Hills contains 234 homes and is accessible by only three entrances: one onto Godfrey Lane from Little Plains Road, one onto Grenhill Lane from Little Planes Road and one onto Godfrey Lane from Warner Road.
