LA has nothing on LI — at least according to big, bodacious actress Nikki Blonsky. The "Hairspray" movie star, who lives in Great Neck with her parents and brother in a single-family home with a two-car garage, loves the neighborhood, neighbors say. When her career first took off, she “was considering moving to Los Angeles,” says Cassandra Formas-Espadas, who used to live on the same street. But she said “she likes it here.” Here, is a quiet tree-lined street with homes that have roomy two or three bedrooms and are valued at about $650,000, like the Blonskys’ home.
Schools and stores are nearby and Blonsky told Newsday recently that she “loves shopping at Roosevelt Field mall,” which is about 20 minutes away.
Still, the Long Island lark might very well be leaving the neighborhood. Her family’s home was recently seen on the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island for $649,000.
