Yes, I asked because I actually met a young lady that was attending school up here that lived in Freeport in a portion zoned for Baldwin Schools(she was wearing a Baldwin varsity jacket at the time).
Well considering that thats more of the northern part of freeport, would i live there? No. In the Southern part (south of Atlantic) if it had Baldwin schools, maybe
I'll stick to my suggestion of Rockville Centre. The area in RVC that one poster referred to (Oceanside Schools, north of Sunrise) is called Greystone. Very nice section. Baldwin is going through some difficult times right now. For 20 years I've been waiting for a downtown rejuvenation project....never happens. All talk, no action. Grand Avenue in Baldwin between Merrick and Sunrise is pretty awful, except for the firehouse and library.
Look at / around Hicksville. If you go north it gets higher end. In Hicksville is middle middle class. Now lots of Indian.
But Hicksville has one huge advantage. Two LIRR lines split just after Hicksville station. So where each of the lines gets one train in any given time period, Hicksville and west gets two trains. And all of the express trains stop in Hicksville. So it makes for a better commute than most other stations.

Idk. I find Hicksville eh. I mean, they can do better than Hicksville on their budget, but it all comes down to prefernce.

Even Baldwin is nicer than Hicksville ...
Not anymore check out the mls for Hicksville. 1.3m homes now. 7 figure homes all over. It’s a different Hicksville than what your may remember. The Indians cleaned it up and made it $$$.

Isn’t that where the Stearns Park neighborhood is located in terms of NW Freeport?
I personally like BH but Baldwin tends to get crapped on around here. Nothing wrong with that area. Part of South goes to Oceanside schools also. It’s not too bad. Diverse. Quiet.
The thing about BH is that you’ll prob get a lil bit of a better house. It’s not as desirable as S Bellmore or S Merrick so for example a house costing $800k there you might get a similar house for $700k in Baldwin ... those kinds of things
