Walking Through Malverne

Take a walk through Malverne. Our Village is too pretty to miss!

In case you don't know or have forgotten: Malverne is a walker's paradise!  We have so many beautiful, peaceful streets to walk along throughout the area, and some gorgeous houses and properties to admire as we do. 

Now don't worry, I'm not writing this as a lecture about weight loss.  God knows I have no right to do that!  I walk for both health and peace of mind, but your reason to go out on foot could be as innocent as neighborhood appreciation or as ulterior as checking out your neighbor’s great new car.  What matters most is that you make that first step.  So here's how you do it.

1) Dress weather appropriate.
2) Walk out of your house.
3) Keep walking.

That's it!  There aren't any complex procedures, and the best part is, you don't need to walk any farther than around the block.  Go as far as you like or just walk down the street and back.  Malverne is too pretty to be seen only by car!

I've only been a Malverne resident since 2009, so I'm still discovering different streets and neighborhoods, but most walks I take either go to or through Hempstead Avenue in the middle of town.  Our Norman Rockwellesque Village is so beautiful, no matter the season, and our local business owners need our bucks too!

Walking in Malverne is a joy.  And when you walk, try to say hi or send a smile to your fellow neighbors you see along the way.  It will double your enjoyment of the walk and hopefully make their day a little happier too!

Have your own pointers or tips for your fellow Malverne neighbors?  A favorite area or walk you’d recommend?  Comment on this post.  And I’ll see you out there again soon, neighbor!
