Once, there were over 500 opulent gold coast mansions, but time wasn’t merciful to them, so now there are only about 200 houses left.
These estates exist in a big way in both Nassau County and Suffolk County. Many associate Long Island’s wealthiest areas with the South Fork (Hamptons), but the North Shore is and always has been a place of great wealth and opulence.ĭuring the Gilded Age, many wealthy families purchased and built luxurious private estates on the North Shore of Long Island, which we now call the Gold Coast. I’d venture to say that many of these gold coast mansions are on par with the world-famous mansions of Newport, RI.
These historic mansions will make you travel through time to the Gilded Era without a time machine. Are you looking to find out more about the history and grandeur of Long Island’s amazing gold coast mansions? Gold coast North Shore mansions are one of the greatest attractions on Long Island.
