ladies and gentlemen,
I wonder if anybody can tell me how busy is New Hyde Park Road in Garden City?
According to my superficial impression GC is a greed of more or less busy streets, allowing for easy flow of traffic. New Hyde Park road does not seem to be one of the main drags. Still it looked busy to me at noon on a weekend.
How bad it gets during rush hours? Is it bad enough to make backing off your one-car driveway hard? Is it much noisier than most streets? What kind of traffic it gets on weekends/weekdays?

Thank you very much.
Is it the same New Hyde Park Road as in exit 34 on the Expressway? If so yes it is busy being one of the last exits in Nassau County
Source: Used to take this exit when I lived in Franklin Square.
I'm not sure where you are getting your impression from - it is one of the busiest roads in the village morning, noon, and night, weekdays and weekends. Yes it would be difficult to back your car out at any time, there are numerous accidents between Chester/Fairmount and Stewart. Check with the police.
Lots of truck traffic too, so yes it's noisy.
Those tudors are getting a lot of looks on this board; there was just this same question posed 2 days ago.
I think I just saw the same $679k tudor everyone is drooling over... really nice house. Very busy road as others have said. But I bet you won't hear much noise in those homes with the windows shut. Rush hour is a mess for sure. You put that house on one of the blocks off Stewart and it's worth $1 Million easy, L,L,L.

I think the current owners have been pretty damn greedy. They expected to make $129,000 in less than two years of home ownership?
I hope it goes for less than they paid (just like happened to the owners before them).
Greedy grubbers like this are the PROBLEM when it comes to LI real estate being priced unrealistically.

I'd be a little concerned with why this house is getting flipped twice within 6 years? .
it's sort of a catch-22. Great schools/area to raise a family but dangerous road to live on with young kids. Might be untouchable because of this... but a bargain for someone with kids out of grade school and looking for a prime area to live in.

I don't think it's a bargain at that price.
As for the flipping, well the first sell is for less than the owner paid for it, so it is probably financial difficulties on their part. The second flip, judging from the current owner's first asking price, was probably nothing more than sheer greed.
It's a silly place to buy a flip, especially in the last few years. Those houses were never easy to sell. There's another one across the street, not in great shape, that finally sold after more than a year (and they had a circular drive so no backing out needed).
I lived near there...halfway down those side streets you can hear the trucks.
My wife and I looked at both Tudor's and the light blue split for sale on NHP road. We have a 14 month old daughter and could just not get over the fact that we would always be worried where she was on the property.
The homes were great, the location was bad, we passed on them all.
Hope this helps, good luck...
