Here are some photos of the complex. Anyone have interior shots? I heard the apartments were BIG inside. Anyone live there and know if there are any washers/dryers inside? Any other tips for the neighborhood?

I been living there for 2 years 1 bedroom with balcony (no sharing) $18,000 paid $5000 up front and the rest was paid 36 installments no interest. My maintenance is approx $1050 includes $20 for A/C and $100 surcharge for making $100,000 and yes we have a laundry room I work around 145 st and Lennox in Manhattan and I work all types of hours so I walk home at all types of hours no issues at all the area is ratchet but I could care less I take the train at all times at night. the precinct is in the station just be aware of your surroundings.
Wow, these are great pictures. How big are the bedrooms and living room? You must have a nice view from that balcony. What are the people like who live there? I know you mentioned the neighborhood is rachet, but what about inside the actual Concourse Village complex itself? Are your neighbors friendly? Singles? Families? Good mix of people?

My whole apt is about 700 sq ft living room is small but bedroom is big. My view is towards the parking lot which I prefer so when I get my parking spot ( long ass waiting list) I can see it from the balcony. Apartments cost more if you live on the west and if you live on a higher floor . its all black and latino with a pinch of white people, families and singles like myself, my neighbors are cool.
its basically a middle class working complex. 90% of the people that bought in 50 years ago Im sure they still own so what you see is the grand kids and great grand kids great great grand kids lol
If anyone else lives in Concourse Village, how would you describe the area? Is it safe to walk around at night? I have read on other threads about the problems with the projects around the building near the East Side with robberies, etc. It was an old thread from 2010, so I am curious if the area has changed in 7 years. Especially now since the new Yankee Stadium is there, and the South Bronx is supposedly the "hot new place". How have you seen the area evolve over the years?
It's weird.. the carrying charges seem to be a bit more than many other Mitchell lama co-ops. I don't like that the grounds in concourse village are just a parking lot. Seems very dismal
If anybody is interested, if you go on Google Street Views, somebody did a sphere of one of the lobbies. Looks clean but hasn't been updated in decades - typicial Mitchell-Lama. Not saying that there's anything bad about not being updated in years, but with M-L, that's par for the course.

Hi...I sent in my application for this location. How long did you have to wait after you initially sent yours in? Thanks in advance...

Good luck to you. I was on the waiting list a little over 2 years before i purchased mine and it was not a good experience due to my lack of knowledge of signing and paying in full without seeing the apartment.
My advice to you is when your time comes go for the West Side of the complex facing South or West and make sure you are on a floor higher than 13 or your view will just be other buildings especially since they are putting up new buildings along side Concourse Village West across from the school where the parking lots use to be. To see over them you must be higher than 13. The West is slightly better as it distances you from the Metro North train that runs along side Park Avenue and like to blast the horn at all hours of the night even though there isnt a railroad crossing. I was told 773 on the East side is the only building that have an elevator that goes down into the underground parking lot but its closer to the train (noise) but offer way better views if you are high enough to see over Jackson, Melrose, Patterson and Millbrook projects you will have the view of the Whitestone bridge all the way to Jersey.
Also insect your apartment before paying.
Make sure the paint matches as one Hispanic guy came to paint during my 10 day move in period to correct all that was wrong that i pointed out and completed messed up my the paint, the paint on the closet doors are a gloss finish and the paint on the walls are a flat finish and he tried to do "touch up paint" on the closet doors and messed them up by putting the flat wall paint on the gloss closet doors. The walls were also were not completely painted where you can clearly see old paint VS new paint and i dont even want to get started on the many hairline cracks in the paint that needs to be scraped off, plastered, sanded an painted over. All this will take time out of your life but once you are in you are in! When you move in it will be allot of fixing little things here and there but it will look good once you are done.
I have a 1 Bedroom with shared balcony which is the B and the M line and its big. Think full king size bedroom set (Bed, 2 Nightstands, Dresser and the Chest, and you will still have 2 - 3 feet minimum of walking space in a U shape around the bed). The bathroom is a little smaller than i like due to i cannot fit a laundry basket in there and have room to walk around but its remodeled with base cabinet under the sink, new tub, new toilet, new sink, etc.
Bedroom 12'7" X 12'1"
Living room 20'6" X 11'
Dining Room 8'1" X 7'6"
Balcony 30' X 6'
Overall, the South Bronx isn’t great, but there are definitely areas that are better than others! As long as you have a supermarket in the area, you will be ok!
