What it means for the homes around Park Avenue
Eleven single-family homes within about a quarter mile of 50 Park Ave sold between May and September 2026, for $857,000 to $1,990,000. The middle of that range was $1,320,000. 50 Park Ave came in below all of them. It's the smallest house on the list after 43 Plymouth Rd and the only one with a single bathroom, and buyers still paid well over asking for it.
That says more about the neighborhood than the house. People want to be here:
- Port Washington is the last stop on the LIRR's Port Washington Branch, which has carried passengers since 1898.
- The town sits between two bodies of water, Manhasset Bay to the west and Hempstead Harbor to the east, with the 60-acre North Hempstead Beach Park on the harbor side.
- The 2020 census counted 16,753 people in the Port Washington CDP.
For owners nearby, this sale matters in a practical way. When appraisers and buyers size up a home, they lean on recent sales of similar homes close by. For the next several months, 50 Park Ave is one of those reference points.

What this may mean for your home
One sale doesn't set the value of every home in Port Washington. But closed sales show what buyers have actually paid recently, and how much a home's details matter.
- Homes between about 1,200 and 1,550 sq ft on this list sold for $857,000 to $1,503,000.
- Updates, bathrooms, parking and the lot move the number more than the street name does. One sale is not your value.
Port Washington home sales by the numbers
Within about a mile and a half of 50 Park Ave, 70 single-family homes sold between July 8 and October 5, 2026. The median sale price was $1,625,000, or about $745 per square foot.
Calculated from single-family sales on Zillow (OneKey® MLS data), accessed October 6, 2026. The area overlaps neighboring villages such as Manorhaven, Port Washington North and Flower Hill.
At about $612 per square foot, 50 Park Ave sold below the area median, which fits a smaller 1928 house with one bath. Online estimates are a starting point, but they can't see your updates, your layout or your yard. A fresh sale on your street and the closings around town give you real numbers to compare against.
