I have seen the harbors on hudson, but the condos are near a quarry plant and I have heard that there is alot of dust on these. The condos also look rather narrow.
We are looking to relo to Rockland, and I am not convinced yet to buy a home since we are still debating whether or not to settle in NY.
We could do a lease for a Single Family (newer construction)...but knowing myself, I will want to "fix it up like my own", and being that we are still unsure, we are know thinking that perhaps the best thing to do is to find a managed propery with pools, gym etc etc that is extremelly close to getting in to NJ where we work.
Plus for the next year or two, it takes the headache off homeowner maintainece (we own a 2 family near the city), and our primary in Dutchess which we are going to sell.
The idea seems appealing to rent a nice luxury condo/townhome that is family orientated with the ammenities.
Schools are important as we have small kids.
Any suggestions of good safe condos/townhomes (3-4 bedrooms, 2+) baths and at least 2500-3000 square feet, also 2 car garage is needed.
There are several developments grouped together off of New Clarkstown Road known as The Hamlets. Not sure of the specifics of the developments, but they are Clarkstown Schools (a top school district), and you have easy access to the Garden State Parkway, NYS Thruway and Palisades Parkway.
Not sure if many of the units are quite as large or luxurious as you seek.
There are some newer developments in Congers, which is a bit further north, but still in Clarkstown schools.
While it is one huge condo complex, it is actually divided into two different school systems. Some of the units are Clarkstown schools while other units are zoned in East Ramapo.
I live in the Hamlets...and I do not think you could consider them luxury living...and as mentioned...some of them are in the East Ramapo School system which is to say the least...not the best...
There are 5 developments in the Hamlets...Eagle Ridge...Vista...Knollwood ...Tree Tops and Timberline...there are some 3 bedroom units...alot of 2 bedroom units...etc...But what you have to watch out for...is the illegal conversions...for some residents have enclosed the loft area to make it into a bedroom without any permits...etc...and others have enclosed their garages to make bedrooms, etc..so be sure and ask...A two bedroom, 2 1/2 bath unit in Timberline has just sold for less than $400,000
You are not allowed to have a grill in any townhouse unit...throughout the entire state...so if you like grilling...forget a townhouse...
If you like Suffern...there is a townhome community on Hemion Road...that is fenced in...and has security at the entrance...it offers most of what you are looking for...
