Don't live there but I am close to the area and frequently go there.
Yes family friendly
Lots of programs at the rvc rec center and library
Lots of good restaurants to choose from and grocery stores for food shopping. For clothes I would shop at Roosevelt field mall.
Close to major parkways and not far into Long Island.

I recently moved to this area.

Pros -
Express LIRR train to Penn is 34 minutes (one train doesn't even stop at Jamaica),

I live within walking distance to everything (this is not the case with all the areas of town) - but I can walk to the post office, the bank, the doctor, eye doctor, deli, pharmacy, dry cleaner, religious services, library - this was great when I was on maternity leave.

Great rec center.

Lots of restaurants.

Great schools - the high school is very well ranked, even among LI schools.

Older homes - I live in a 1908 home that has renovations - I love the older styles - but this may be a con for some people.


Cons -
Taxes aren't great

Property sizes aren't great - but that is true for a lot of places in Nassau

No official community pool

Hello!
Rockville Centre is a wonderful place to live and raise children. It is very family friendly, great schools and wonderful little town that features great eateries and shops. I am a realtor for Coldwell banker Residential Brokerage and this is one town I specialize in. If you need any help or assistance please feel free to give me a call. I would be happy to take you around RVC and show all of the wonderful things it has to offer:)
Best,
