Urban Uniondale ‘feels suburban’
Uniondale, 31 miles from New York City, is bisected by the Hempstead-Bethpage Turnpike. To the north, the lively commercial hub of East Garden City bustles with activity, while the southern portion is primarily residential with gridded streets and local parks. “It has that suburban feel, but it’s dense and kind of urban,” says Christopher Hubbard, a real estate agent and associate broker at RE/MAX Residential Office, with 20 years of experience in the business. The neighborhood's entertainment and urban conveniences mesh well with its suburban residences, giving locals a blend of these two living styles.

Townhouses and condos are in the new traditional style. Townhouses and condos range from $700,000 to over $1.1 million. Uniondale's mainly single-family residential area is organized in a grid, with homes set back from the street and bordered by thin sidewalks and white picket fences. “There are mostly single-family homes,” says Damien Coleman, the broker and owner of Dac Properties Corp. “It has one of the lowest school taxes in the county.” Many residences here are Cape Cods and minimal traditionals with detached garages and private driveways ranging from $475,000 to $825,000.

"The area is really appreciated and highly sought after," Paley says residents update and remodel their homes instead of moving because they like the area.

Commuters use Carle Place Station
Sidewalks are typical along the residential streets of Uniondale and in the urban East Garden City.
