The neighborhood is just okay. Totally different from Queens. The building is very close to the 6 train and shopping area. This area is the Bronx seems to be "up and coming" but not quite there yet. The building is nice and the tenants are nice as well. But most of the apts are still vacant, so I am only judging based on what's current.
Thanks for the info. I'm just trying to prepare myself for a big change in case I am approved. Do you anything regarding the schools? I've been trying to do some research online. I'm very nervous to I view the apartment not sure sure how many bedrooms they haven't said I pray it's a 3 bedroom.

You can either choose between Verizon FIOS or Optimum Cable. You do not pay for water , gas, or heat, as that is all incuded in the rent. You do however pay electric through Con Ed. There is a laundry room, community center, and parking lot (still being constructed).

As far as schools, the only good schools that I know of in the area is Success Academy Charter Schools. There are a few of them bus distance from the building.

So I emailed yuco management for Brook Ave. the emailed me back this

Hello,
Your application will likely be waitlisted as there are no more community board preference units available. You will be processed as part of the general applicant pool when your log number is reached.

What exactly are they stating ?

They're saying you didn't get it. You gotta look for somethin else. The units they have available are for others outside of CB preference
