West Babylon Co-ops (Lindenhurst, North Babylon, North Lindenhurst: home, purchases, zip code)

[NYJoe2]

Does anyone have information and/or opinions (positive or negative) regarding West Babylon co-ops, specifically Fisherman's Wharf and Country Club Gardens (also known as Farber Drive). I have seen both complexes and each have good and bad features. Was hoping that there might be some City-Data folks that have had experience with these complexes, or might have some info not readily available to an average Joe. Co-op purchases are different from home purchases, and I'm trying to do my homework and not jump in head first. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
