It's a pretty bad area of Long Island. As with any area, there are pockets of nice neighborhoods, but I would stay away from it like the plague. The Target they built over there was pretty nice for a while, but has now become a hang out for vagrants and undesirables.
Unfortunately, SCPD does a very poor job of policing the area. But, they do a fine job at making sure it doesn't spill into bordering neighborhoods, mostly because they live there
What about College Woods? Is that a bad area still? That's where I used to live.
its not so great, i believe its alot of section 8 housing. The townhouse complex that they built off the east side of carlton ave is pretty nice though, and somewhat secluded from the crap that surrounds it.
the areas south of suffolk ave and off of lowell and carlton seem to be the worst.. north of suffolk is a little nicer
Property taxes here is very high,comparing with neighbouring islandia and Happauge, school district here in central islip is one of the top 4 in suffolk area, there is a big shopping Mall, Home Depot, Target mall
Nice to live, no violation no drugs, we were there for the last 20 years.
One can choose central islip to live and raise kids...........
Thanks

You're being sarcastic, right?
The property taxes in Hauppauge are the lowest in Suffolk County for a good stable area, because the county center and office parks absorb so much of the school tax burden. In fact the Hauppauge School District is consistently rated within the top 5 in Suffolk County and is the best bargain in the county.
I don't know anything about Islandia taxes/schools so can't speak to that one.
No drugs in Central Islip? With all due respect, have you been living in a bubble for the past 20 years?
Not to mention the gangs problem. Here are a few recent news links:
