Nassau County Reviews
Rating 3.96 out of 5 23 reviews
Nassau County is a relatively small county compared to its counter parts. The public schools are average, nothing too special. The safety of the neighborhood is good, never hear too many things wrong in the news. The community is nice and friendly able to commute, and service. The nightlife in my experience is average nothing much goes on at night unless there are parties at a house. Nassau is friendly when it comes to affordability, it's low housing prices combind with the low pricingbills makes it a great fit for low income families.
The diversity of the county is really good sharing decent percantages for Asian American, African american, Caucasion and Latin. Job Oppurtinies, it is not difficult getting a job at any time of the month, while it does get busier during the summer where it gets more difficult. It is healthy depending at your hosuing as far as I know.

Some areas are good, some are bad. There are so many parks and beaches to explore that you never even need to leave the island. There are many cute towns and shops and restaurants that it's almost comparable to NYC dining and experiences. The only reason I would give it 4 not 5 stars is because it's getting a little crowded. Ever since Covid a lot of people wanted to leave the city and so they spread out to Long Island and made things more expensive to those who have been here.
The biggest problem in Nassau County is that it is highly segregated, with affluent mostly White communities very separate from poorer mostly Black/Hispanic communities. This means one's children may grow up in an ethnic bubble. Greater residential and school integration would likely provide a more equal playing field in terms of education and opportunity, as has been shown by a number of studies.
