Many Greenlawn residents can walk to the hamlet's downtown on Broadway, which has pharmacies, salons, restaurants, a library, and an LIRR station. Across Pulaski Road is Greenlawn Park, which includes ballfields with lights, a playground, and a skateboard park. A strip mall with a supermarket, gym, and various retailers is also nearby. The housing mix has many ample-sized homes, including a brand-new development with 47 houses ranging from 2,800 to 4,400 square feet, each on a half acre. Popular restaurants include Ruvo and Old Fields; the latter, established in 1956, was named for Greenlawn's original moniker.
