I lived in Oakdale for nearly ten years. My son graduated from Connetquot high school. The schools are good, average amount of drugs & gang activity for Li as far as I could tell. We looked at homes in Ronkonkoma before we decided to move further east. The kids from Oakdale often refered to Ronkonkoma as "Ron-Compton" but I think that was exagerated.
That's definitely exaggerated. Oakdale is a more upscale area, but Ronkonkoma has no major issues.
There are drugs in every high school on LI, including Port Jefferson and Cold Spring Harbor, maybe even moreso, because the kids have so much disposable income.

We were at a daytime party in Ronkonkoma a couple of weeks ago, and large airplanes flew overhead (close!!), landing and taking off, I'm not kidding every half hour or more. Could be every 10-15 mintues. I understand that stops after 10 p.m., but if I were you I'd hang around your new house for a full day to see what you think. I found it disruptive and loud. And a bit comedic. (If I could attach a pic to this post, I'd show you how close it was to the house but I don't think I can do that?)

It depends on where you are. I lived less than a mile from the airport, and yes you could hear planes all day, but it wasn't distracting, and it's nothing compared to the car stereo air pollution that you have to deal with on Long Island during the summer.
Anyone else have any opinions on this area. It is near connetquot park in Ronkonkoma. It is just north of Vets, and there is no through streets its just the park/woods.
Thanks. We moved in already so its too late to not buy it lol.
My first house was north of where you are (on the 'other' side of the tracks) on Port ave and it was a great neighborhood. No complaints. I think you will be perfectly happy where you are. :-)
