Mineola is located in the heart of Nassau County. Since its incorporation in 1906, it has grown to become a mature suburban community that is almost fully developed, with a wide mix of land uses relative to its small size. Mineola has a compact downtown, a major commercial corridor, industrial uses and various institutional uses, such as Winthrop University Hospital and Chaminade High School. It is also the address for the seat of Nassau County.
Due in large part to its status as a transit hub, Mineola has been designated by the Regional Plan Association as one of eleven regional downtowns in the New York-New Jersey Connecticut metropolitan area slated for development.
Mineola is located just over fifteen miles east of midtown Manhattan. The total area of the Village is 2.2 square miles. The majority of the Village is located in the Town of North Hempstead, with a slim portion of the Village’s southern edge located in the Town of Hempstead. Mineola is characterized by well-maintained homes on compact lots, an active civic community, good schools, and high-quality parks and recreation amenities. The Village is looking to ensure that it can maintain the stability of its neighborhoods, while promoting improvements in its downtown, business districts and corridors.
