Questionable Areas on Long Island |

Posted by Howard Fein on Mon Aug 10 10:07:53 2009, in response to Re: Brentwood Long Island Shootings, posted by AMoreira81 on Thu Jun 25 10:54:10 2009. IMO, areas of Nassau that don't look that great based on condition of housing and presence of people aimlessly hanging out:Inwood; most of Hempstead Village; Uniondale; some of Glen Cove; pockets of Roslyn Heights, Port Washington and Oyster Bay hamlet; Lakeview; some of downtown RVC; north Baldwin; Freeport north of Atlantic Avenue; downtown Farmingdale; extreme southeast Massapequa. Even Great Neck Village seems to have a small area of mild decay along Steamboat Road. There are projects along Community Drive on the Great Neck-Manhasset border that seem to have improved since the nineties. Don't get out to Suffolk much anymore, but from what I've observed: Large part of Huntington Station; small part of Greenlawn; North Amityville and, to a lesser extent, Amityville Village; the northern fringes of Copiague and inincorporated Lindenhurst; parts of West Babylon; Bay Shore above Montauk Highway; most of Brentwood and Central Islip; East and North Patchogue; some small areas of Port Jeff around the LIRR terminal; downtown Riverhead; Hampton Bays; sections of South and East Hampton; Greenport. |

Yeah, you've described the Whitestone Pathmark perfectly. It's actually in Flushing, but that it's situated off the Whitestone Expressway has led to this misnomer. I've been shopping there for over 25 years. A lot of the Pathmarks in Nassau County make it look sick; particularly the one in East Meadow, which is absolutely gorgeous.But the ones on Kissena Boulevard in Kew Garden Hills and Atlantic Avenue in Ozone Park are far worse. |

Greenport does indeed have a dingy area just north of their 'downtown' strip along Main Street, Rt. 25 ('downtown' in Greeport means the waterfront area adjacent to the LIRR station/Shelter Island ferry slip).Once you get up to 25A you will see that the area becomes more upscale and scenic. |

Agreed, there's nothing wrong with North Patchogue. Not any worse than let's say "Shirley" is. Also, while a part of East Patchogue, north of Montauk Highway that's pretty bad, that fits into the "North Bellport" part of Bellport. South of Montauk Highway, East Patchogue is really nice, especially the South Country Road area. The same with Bellport. The part that's bad is north of Montauk Highway in the case of both East Patchogue, and North Bellport. Both are CLASSIC right and wrong side of the railroad tracks communities. |

That's the same in the case off Bellport and Bellport Village. North Bellport is one of the worst areas in Suffolk County, yet Bellport Village is quite upscale, almost on par with the Hamptons. |

I'd take Uniondale and North Baldwin off your list. The people are decidedly middle class (they're just not white) and the housing stock is isn't in any kind of rundown condition. Other than the skin color of the residents, Uniondale is basically no different than the northern half of a town like Oceanside. Downtown RVC is quite nice and is home to many new upscale condos. I think the part of RVC you're thinking of is the extreme western part -- Old Mill Court and environs.I'd also take off Northwest Freeport (north of Sunrise, roughly west of Connecticut -- which is quite nice and also parts of Lakeview. Lakeview along Lakeview Avenue has quite a few characters hanging out, but as you go north up Woodfield Road things improve quite a bit. In Suffolk, your list isn't complete until you add Wyandanch. |

Some of it is still quite nice- both sides of the Turnpike about a half mile west of Covert/Meacham; along most of Dutch and south. But one gets a very bad impression of it coming from Queens along the Turnpike; the area opposite the track looks quite dilapidated. The nominal downtown, at the intersection of the Turnpike and Elmont Road, looks quite bad.Valley Stream village still seems very stable, except for the extreme western fringe along the city line. |

Posted by Howard Fein on Mon Aug 10 15:40:17 2009, in response to Re: Questionable Areas on Long Island, posted by Charles G on Mon Aug 10 14:38:03 2009. Adding Wyandanch would have offered overkill to this thread. But it certainly belongs there. A couple of winters ago I rode the LIRR through and noticed a great many vagrants sitting in front of, and in the waiting room. But then that's also a common site at the Freeport and Babylon LIRR stations as well.When drives down Grand Avenue from the Southern State into Baldwin, a lot of previously vibrant shopping centers now contain vacancies, clinics and check-cashing stores. Never a good sign. Friends of mine who lived in the northeast got fed up with vandalism and single-family houses suddenly containing over 20 people. This was in the early nineties. A lot of locals say the downtown area along Grand between Sunrise and Merrick has gotten bad as well. Uniondale probably gets a bad rap due to its being situated between Hempstead and Roosevelt. Unlike other 'blighted' communities, you don't see too many people hanging out on the main drags looking for work- or trouble. But there have been a number of highly publicized murders there. The narrow corridor along the LIRR through RVC is said to be sketchy, with the recreational center on Long Beach Road supposedly frequented by gangs. Oh, and supposedly the unincorporated part of Island Park, also known as Barnum Island- the part that Austin Boulevard runs through- has become haven to a lot of illegals 'priced out' of Long Beach. The village remains an Italian and Greek stronghold. |

Posted by charles g on Mon Aug 10 18:12:16 2009, in response to Re: Questionable Areas on Long Island, posted by Howard Fein on Mon Aug 10 15:40:17 2009. I lived in RVC from 2000-2007 and never heard of gangs (or problems of any sort) at the Rec Center. Worst problem might be a couple of broken beer bottles on a Saturday or Sunday morning. I have 2 kids and we were there quite often.I also ran past during my evening runs as late as midnight and never noticed anything. RVCPD frequently has a car in the rec center parking lot to snag speeders and non-yielders at the intersection of Long Beach and Oceanside Roads. Perhaps the park with trouble is the one over by Old Mill Court and the MLK Community Center and someone confused the MLK with the Rec? CG |

They help you hide from the headlines.In the last five or six weeks, we've seen two shootings in Brentwood, a fatal stabbing in Brentwood, a shooting in Huntington Station, and another fatal stabbing in Westbury. There was also a bias attack in Valley Stream. All this, in addition to a huge raid on Long Island today(I'll link the article soon), where Latina sex slaves from Honduras and El Salvador were forced into a life of prostitution in bars and "cantinas" in Suffolk. |
