Villa D' Est apartments in Coram NY (Brookhaven, Medford: 2009, rentals)

[SoldatD]

Hello,

Anyone have any experience with this place? Is it nice? Safe area? I have heard rumors about Coram. I am looking for a 2BR for myself, my wife, and our daughter, so safety/quality of the area is a major concern.

Thank you for your time.

North Isle in North Coram is probably a better bet since it is close to Mount Siani and away from the depressed areas near Home depot and east of there. Prices are plummetting there too so you should get a good deal. Last years peak a 1Br was $135k now a 2BR would be less than that. Good luck

For those who may not be familiar with Coram:

Coram is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the central part of the Town of Brookhaven, in the central part of Suffolk County.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Coram in the Town of Brookhaven is bordered on the north by Hamlet of Terryville, the Hamlet of Mount Sinai and the Hamlet of Miller Place; on the east by the Hamlet of Middle Island and the Hamlet of Gordon Heights; on the south by the Hamlet of Medford; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Farmingville, the Hamlet of Selden and the Hamlet of Terryville.





The Hamlet of Coram has a different border than does the "Coram, NY 11727" ZIP Code postal zone (i.e., a place can have a "Coram, NY 11727" mailing address and not be in the Hamlet of Coram and a place can have other than a "Coram, NY 11727" mailing address and be in the Hamlet of Coram): places that have a "Coram, NY 11727" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Coram are in the Hamlet of Middle Island, the Hamlet of Gordon Heights, the Hamlet of Medford and the Hamlet of Selden; and, at the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of Coram with a "Selden, NY 11784", "Port Jefferson Station, NY 11776" and "Middle Island, NY 11953" mailing address.

I have no desire to buy anything, as that would keep me on Long Island unnecessarily ; I am leaving summer of 2009 and need a semi-affordable place until then.

The looked at the Villa D'est townhouses to rent years ago, I though the little development was quite nice tucked away behind the church but the area there has become increasingly seedy.
Try Brookwood, The Hunt club, bretton woods or blue ridge.
In Yaphank-whispering pines or colonial woods.
I believe these would all be privately owned units for rent with the exception of Brookwood.
