THE SCOOP\u00a0Bellerose Village is a tight-knit community where everyone looks out for one another, Mayor Kenneth Moore said.<\/p>\n
“There’s only 352 houses so you honestly get to know your neighbors, whether they’re on the east side of town or the west side, because it’s so small,” said Moore, who has lived in the village for 30 years.<\/p>\n
A strict architectural review department helps Bellerose Village maintain its character and charm.<\/p>\n
“A lot of these houses are over 100 years old. They really try to keep the same look of the house, when it comes to changing windows, doors or paint colors,” said Moore, adding that no two houses are alike.<\/p>\n
Community service is popular throughout the village, which has both an active Junior Women’s Club and volunteer\u00a0fire department.<\/p>\n

Annual village traditions include a tree lighting ceremony in early December, a Christmas party at Village Hall\u00a0courtesy of the women’s club, a 9\/11 memorial service\u00a0put on by the fire department\u00a0and a Memorial Day parade. Each summer, there’s a day camp for village kids held at the park next to Village Hall.<\/p>\n
The village has a three-block-long shopping district on Jericho Turnpike and its own Long Island Rail Road station, which is slated to be refurbished with an elevator to bring it into ADA compliance.<\/p>\n

In the early 1900s, the formerly grassy plains of western Nassau gave way to a planned community developed by Helen Marsh, a Massachusetts real estate developer who created Bellerose Village as a development of modestly priced homes.<\/p>\n
Forming the United Holding Co. in 1906, Marsh raised $155,000 to purchase 77 acres of mostly gladiolus flower fields and completed the first home in 1910.<\/p>\n
To ensure the houses were built to her standards, Marsh lived in each of the first 22 houses for several weeks as they were completed and sought buyers who shared her vision. She laid out houses around circular flowerbeds on boulevards and streets spread out in a fan-like pattern that terminated in the south at the train station.<\/p>\n
When drought struck, Marsh drove through the area with a borrowed horse and wagon to water the foliage, and during the cold winter months kept fires burning in houses under construction.<\/p>\n
Bellerose Village was incorporated in 1924.<\/p>\n
