I won't answer that because I haven't been in any of those areas in a very long time.

Freeport down by the water, yes. As long as you do not need to use the school district

No No No No!
Unless you like dealing with gangs, crime, and illegals.

Farmingdale has some nice neighborhoods and a nice downtown. The scores in the Regent exams are pretty good. One area I particularly liked was on the south side of Bethpage State Park. I think the area is called Farmingdale Hills.

I always thought that was Bethpage....Farmingdale village is what I'm referring to. There are guys loitering everywhere there.

thanks a lot guys, i saw a lot of houses there selling for too cheap of prices. so i figured there must be a catch.


school district is not important right now, atleast for next 5 years(have no kids yet). however, i would rather buy into a nicer SD rather than in a bad one and buy again in 5 years.


I am not familiar with most areas of Nassau. i hope you won't mind, if i keep asking you guys in this thread about neighborhoods.



How is:

New Hyde Park 11040
Mineola 11501
Williston Park 11596


would you recommend that i buy in a village or should i rather buy where its not in a village?

The area directly south of Bethpage State Park is part of Farmingdale. I checked MLS and it appears that is called Lenox Hills. I've haven't spent much time in the village but in the brief time I was there I didn't notice loiterers.

You can't make a blanket statement about villages or not, it all depends on the individual village.

The areas above are a lot better than the first set you listed. Williston Park is split between Herricks and Mineola SDs; the former is better rated.

IIRC, a substantial portion of the New Hyde Park postal zone is not in the Village of New Hyde Park. Several districts serve the area.
