In the mid-80s, we moved from Queens to Uniondale. I am proud that I grew up there. My brother went to Uniondale high school and I went to Kellenberg Memorial. When we first moved there, it was mostly white. In the late 90s, the white residents started moving out ("white fright") as the community grew more diverse. In some of these reviews, I notice assumptions are made because it is mostly Black (Caribbean) and Latino. In the 2000s, there was some gang activity tricking in, but things calmed down and it remains relatively safe. Uniondale is still considered a good place to live, ranks high on lists for solid middle class Black neighborhoods making it unique (many families over 100K including ours growing up, more renters now). Places close early, which is probably a good thing. There was never much to do, I went to the city a lot, but appreciated a quiet place to come home to. My elderly parents still live there. It is still very quiet at night and the homes/lawns are well kept.
Uniondale is a nice town, it is next to the towns Hempstead, Merrick, East Meadow, Baldwin and Roosevelt. Uniondale has around five elementary schools, two middle schools, and one High School. Uniondale is a pretty safe town depending what part of town you are some parts are safer than others. There isn’t much to do at night. Uniondale is a town that is mainly occupied by black and Hispanic people, besides those two cultures their isn’t much diversity. There are some local businesses around Uniondale. One of Uniondale’s main attraction is the Nassau Coliseum where many different big events take place throughout the year. Uniondale is just an all round good town.
I love Uniondale because of the diversity! It’s not as busy as the city but there’s still enough going on to keep busy and occupied. Affordable living, close schools, and my favorite part is that it’s not too far from the mall.
