Anyone know if any on the north shore of Long Island near a train station? Budget is 125,000 to 210,000. Looked at Oyster Bay and Glen Cove, even Port Washington. Something in a good neighborhood.
As I mentioned in another thread you started, price isn't the only thing to look at when shopping for co-ops or condos. With co-ops you have those pesky maintenance charges, which can go easily go as high as $1,000/mo even in your price range. So it's important for you to know how much you can afford (or qualify for) as a monthly payment (Principal, Interest, Maintenance and Insurance).
Before you go looking, talk to a Loan Officer who has plenty of experience with co-ops and find out what they will lend you. BTW, not all banks deal with co-op purchases.
There are 1-bedroom co-ops in Glen Cove, Great Neck, Oyster Bay, Rockville Centre, and even one in Port Washington in your price range (I looked up to $225k). Several have maintenance charges slightly over $1,000/mo; a handful in Great Neck have m-charges in the $500s, most others are between $700-$800/month. Oh, and there is usually a fee for parking.
There are living complexes in Roslyn along Roslyn Road/north of the LIE - not far from the duck pond. I am not sure if they are co-ops or just rentals. I recently noticed while on the LIRR that at the Roslyn train station there is a complex right there......does anyone know what they are? One would have to just walk up the steps to the train - very convenient.
