The Uniondale Post Office facility serves Uniondale, a vibrant and historically rich community in Nassau County, Long Island. Situated prominently at 1000 Front Street, just east of the bustling intersection with Uniondale Avenue and a short drive west of Meadowbrook Parkway, this facility stands as a crucial point of contact for government services, especially passport applications, for a diverse local population. The office provides essential services not only to long-term residents but also to the significant student body from nearby Hofstra University and Nassau Community College, many of whom require passports for study abroad programs or international travel during breaks. Small business owners operating along Hempstead Turnpike and residential families from neighborhoods like California Avenue and Hempstead Gardens frequently rely on the dependable services offered here.
Historically, the Uniondale Post Office has been an integral part of the community’s development, mirroring the growth of the surrounding area from a primarily agricultural landscape in the early 20th century to a bustling suburban hub following World War II. The current structure, a solid brick building with a classic, functional design, was erected in 1968, reflecting the mid-century architectural trends common in expanding Long Island towns. Its position on Front Street, a central artery connecting residential zones with commercial corridors, ensures its continued relevance and accessibility. This location is particularly convenient for individuals commuting via major routes, offering a streamlined process for passport applications without requiring a lengthy trip into more congested areas of Nassau County or New York City.
What makes this particular facility a preferred choice for many is not just its central positioning but also the experienced staff, many of whom are long-standing residents themselves, providing a personalized and knowledgeable service often appreciated by first-time applicants. The immediate vicinity of the Post Office on Front Street includes several key community points. Just two blocks west on Front Street, at the corner of Front and California Avenue, stands the Uniondale Public Library, offering a quiet space for document preparation or research prior to an appointment. A block east, the prominent Front Street Clock Tower, a modest community landmark, helps visitors orient themselves. Additionally, the historic Our Lady of Victory Roman Catholic Church is located just 0.4 miles north on Uniondale Avenue, offering another familiar reference point. The facility’s operational hours are tailored to accommodate various schedules, making it a pragmatic option for parents needing to bring children, or professionals with limited weekday availability. The post office plays an understated yet significant role in facilitating international travel for residents embarking on vacations, business trips, or reconnecting with family abroad. Its steady presence underscores a commitment to civic duty and global connection for the Uniondale community.

Located at UNIONDALE POST OFFICE at 1000 FRONT STREET. Easy access from major highways.
Parking at the Uniondale Post Office on Front Street offers several convenient, albeit sometimes competitive, options. The facility provides a dedicated, free 15-space parking lot directly adjacent to the main entrance on the south side of the building. This lot is often full during peak hours, particularly between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays. For overflow, ample metered street parking is available along Front Street itself, extending both east and west from the post office. These meters operate Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, costing $1.25 per hour, with a two-hour maximum. Payment can be made via coin or the Pango mobile app. Additionally, two blocks north on Uniondale Avenue, between Fenimore Avenue and California Avenue, there are usually unmetered side streets where you might find free parking, though this adds a 0.3-mile walk. For optimal convenience, consider scheduling your passport appointment before 10:00 AM or after 3:00 PM to increase your chances of securing a spot in the primary lot. During winter months, especially after a snowfall, street parking might be limited due to plowing efforts, so allow extra time. In the summer, the unshaded street spots can get very hot, so using the primary lot is preferable if available.
Accessing the Uniondale Post Office via public transportation is straightforward, primarily utilizing the Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE) bus system. The most direct route is via the N16 bus, which runs along Front Street. There’s a bus stop conveniently located directly in front of the post office at 1000 Front Street, marked by a green NICE bus sign, making for a minimal walk of under 50 feet to the entrance. The N16 operates every 20-25 minutes on weekdays and approximately every 30-40 minutes on weekends. For those coming from areas serviced by Hempstead Turnpike, the N48 and N49 buses are excellent options. You can disembark at the Hempstead Turnpike and Uniondale Avenue stop, then walk approximately 0.7 miles (about 12-15 minutes) south on Uniondale Avenue to Front Street, turning left to reach the facility. A single NICE bus ride costs $2.75, payable by MetroCard or exact coin fare; a NICE Go day pass costs $5.50. The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) Hempstead station is about 1.5 miles away. From the LIRR station, you can take a local taxi or connect to the N48/N49 bus routes. All NICE buses are wheelchair accessible, equipped with ramps and designated seating areas, ensuring comfortable travel for all passengers.
