2 story private house, legal apt on 2nd floor, huge detached garage with expanded loft, small basement on a very busy main road which was not busy back when it was built.
Lets just say family has pics of the blacksmith shop in the general area Fredericks restaurant is presently.
You're right Elke, new owners according to Zillow are paying $3,100.
Don't have too much confidence in Zillow, but in the Town of Huntington, you can get everyone's taxes right off the internet. Since you have the address, you can easily see what the REAL TRUE taxes are... Would be curious to know
Wyndanch? Brentwood? Hempstead? Roosevelt? Unless you factor in emergency room co-pays for gunshot wounds, you can't beat the cost of living in these towns.
I wouodn't live there as I'm very picky: and I certainly wouldn't send my kids to the school system. But you may be overstating the case as I believe the crime rate in these places are below the national average.
CURRENT YEAR (2008-2009)Land Value150.00 Total Value1500.00 Tax Rate231.958 True Taxes$4,033.44 Total Taxes$3,312.26
PRIOR YEAR (2007-2008)Land Value150.00 Total Value1500.00 Total Taxes$3,156.38
Thank you for the info.
As you can see, there's nothing like going to the real source! And while true taxes of $4,000 is very rare (and a great deal!), it's still a bit more than Zillow's "zestimate" or the $1,200... Good work
Rocky Point, Sound Beach, and Lindenhurst fit the bill
Not too sure if youd call RP/SB cheap, but perhaps for the North Shore it's not too bad.
A small house will run you 1500-1800 plus in Rocky Point.
Sound Beach may be a little bit less/Miller Place a little bit more.
Larger Apt your around 1200 Plus/ Larger House 2k plus.
Theres some cool cottages to be had around 900-1100 plus too.
Small basement apartment can go for 7-900 plus
(which seems to be going rate from Nicolls Rd to Wm Floyd)
Theres much less rental stock here than there was a few years back before the boom.
You may fare better in the Tri Hamlet area, but give it a shot, Rocky Point is a great town.
Heres a few

I am single with no kids, so I won't be needing a house, especially one with 4 bathrooms, thats OVERKILL.
I think single room rentals are the way for me
