Re: What do you think about Farmingdale?
Farmingdale is very different from Merrick, although I LOVE the historic homes N or Main Street in the town.....I'm not a fan of the School District.

Re: What do you think about Farmingdale?
I grew up there. I think its a great town. there are iffy areas near the train station though. Not sure why the SD gets a bad rap - they offer AP classes in the HS, College Credit from CW Post, great music, art and sports.

Re: What do you think about Farmingdale?
DH and I bought a house there last January and couldnt be happier. We are in a 1937 home in the village and love the community feeling of our area.

Re: What do you think about Farmingdale?
We just bought a house there. It's in South Farmingdale.
We were originally looking in Merrick, Bellmore and Wantagh. A realtor showed me that house and I fell in love with it. The area is great too...

Re: What do you think about Farmingdale?
Have lived in Farmingdale my whole life. School district is good education wise. Like all other areas the kids are little punks. I agree- don't live too close to the train station. Otherwise I love it and hope to buy a house here some day!!

Re: What do you think about Farmingdale?
We moved here over the summer, to South Farmingdale, we love it! We researched the SD before buying and it was rated very well. I love the area!

Re: What do you think about Farmingdale?
I went to Plainedge, but most of my friends were from Farmingdale. I think some of the reason people that do not live in the area give the school a bad rep is because of the racial riots many years ago. For some reason that image sticks. Nevermind the winning sports teams, or the students who go to all-state for music..... 
Just like any other school on LI, you will have your good students & your little punks. I think it is a good district & they offer a lot of academic & sports & arts.
ETA: I would move there.

Re: What do you think about Farmingdale?
I agree with the PP.
I went to school there from 96-2000 and I never saw a race riot -
I think people look at the district negatively sometimes because it is more diverse than the surrounding districts

I am old, the riots were in the very early 90's. I think it may have even been the late 80's
