Editing Roslyn Estates, New York (section)

=== Village of Roslyn Estates (1931 – present) ===
In 1931, residents decided to try incorporating Roslyn Estates as a village, due to the fact that the community's original [[deed restriction]]s were set to expire around that time.<ref name=":81" /> Their efforts to incorporate were successful, and the Village of Roslyn Estates was incorporated on June 8, 1931.<ref name=":81" />

In the mid-1950s, a {{Convert|27|acre|ha|adj=on}} housing development, known as Homes in Roslyn Estates, was constructed in the village, and sponsored by builders Edward Fineberg and Arthur Bandes and consisting of 60 [[Ranch home|ranch]] and [[Split-level home|split-level]] homes designed by architect Stanley J. Shaftel.<ref name=":42">{{Cite news |date=October 10, 1954 |title=Sixty Houses Priced a $35,000 Are Planned in Roslyn Estates |work=[[The New York Times]] |pages=R1 |via=[[ProQuest]]}}</ref>

In 1972, Roslyn Estates Village Hall was built.<ref name=":21">{{Cite web |title=Roslyn Estates Village Hall {{!}} Profiles {{!}} Roslyn Landmark Society |url=https://www.roslynlandmarks.org/profiles/roslyn-estates-village-hall |access-date=October 19, 2021 |website=www.roslynlandmarks.org}}</ref> It was designed by John A. Grammas on land given to the village by the firm of Saul Sokolov, Inc., which had developed that section of Roslyn Estates several years prior.<ref name=":21" />

In 1974, Mayor Robert D. Zucker attempted to have the boundaries of the [[Manhasset Park District]] redrawn to include the village after the district added an additional 260 parking spaces to the commuter parking fields at the [[Manhasset station|Manhasset]] [[Long Island Rail Road]] station.<ref name=":3">{{Cite news|last=Smith|first=Jim|date=October 1, 1974|title=Still Some Room On Parking Debate|page=17|work=[[Newsday]]|via=[[ProQuest]]}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{Cite news|date=December 4, 1974|title=Roslyn Estates Gets No Parking|page=29|work=[[Newsday]]|via=[[ProQuest]]}}</ref> Zucker stated that many Roslyn Estates residents preferred the Manhasset station over the closer [[Roslyn station (LIRR)|Roslyn station]] due to the fact that service to/from [[Pennsylvania Station (New York City)|Pennsylvania Station]] on the [[Port Washington Branch]] is direct, whereas a change at [[Jamaica station|Jamaica]] is required on the [[Oyster Bay Branch]].<ref name=":3" /> By having the district boundaries redrawn to include the village, Roslyn Estates residents would have the ability to be guaranteed a parking space at the Manhasset station for commuting to/from [[Manhattan]].<ref name=":3" /> Officials from both the Town of North Hempstead and the Manhasset Park District – as well as Manhasset residents – lamented the idea, given that Roslyn Estates is not part of the [[Manhasset, New York|Greater Manhasset]] area, and felt that the needs of Greater Manhasset should be paramount for the Manhasset Park District.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4" /> The proposal was ultimately denied.<ref name=":4" />

Roslyn Estates celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1981.<ref name=":20">{{Cite news|last=Philips|first=Evelyn|date=October 4, 1981|title=50TH ANNIVERSARY FOR 4 VILLAGES|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1981/10/04/nyregion/50th-anniversary-for-4-villages.html|access-date=October 11, 2021|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
