North Shore Heritage Map : Gold Coast

This western-most North Shore neighborhood where mansions and millionaires once abounded is epitomized in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. The gateway to this conceptual museum room is Route 25 at University Gardens, on the Nassau-Queens border. The Glen Cove-Oyster Bay area is its anchor.
