Single-family homes in the Uniondale Union Free School District sold for a median of $680,000 (typically $635,000–$740,000) across 148 recorded sales between Oct 6, 2025 and Oct 1, 2026, up 4.6% on the 12 months before.
ZIP 11550 has about 3.3 months of single family inventory — seller's market. Demand is outpacing supply, so homes sell quickly with firm pricing and limited room to negotiate.
At about $14,220 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 42% above the $10,000 typical for Uniondale Union Free School District. Nassau assessments run on a multi-year cycle, so the assessed value behind this bill can lag what the home actually sells for today. A sale does not automatically reset it, and exemptions such as STAR, Senior or Veteran move the number as well — a new owner's bill is often not the same as the seller's.
