Well then I assume you would turn down a place in Yorkville, the UES, and Chelsea because they are across from housing projects? Kinda like everyone else did? No wait...those are selling for multimillions across the street from housing projects. Hmm...I wonder whose advice I should take..the one who chooses not to pay $140K for a condo across the street from housing projects, or the ones who pay millions for the priviledge? And while you are busy saying "no thanks" others are buying and saying "thank you"...and ultimately once they are sold out, you will not even be able to afford the luxury of living here, next to housing projects. The irony!
This is life in NYC, which is why there are housing projects and the like next to multimillion condos. There just isn't enough space, so you have to build where you can...that's life. Good luck finding a place this affordable, brand new, this close to Manhattan, that ISNT close to housing projects, or the poor in general.
WOW. That's terrible. But the Open Space is only open to Via Verde Residents NOT the general outside public. There are gates to enter the premises which require a FOB and will have security/Doormen. I hope this helps along with more Police Protection.

I am a little confused about the public space and who it will be available to. In our offering plan it clearly outlines that the public space is for residents and their guest but in the entrance layout, the doormen for each respective entrance (coop and rental) will be sitting inside at their post to the right and left. If this is the case, how will there be control of who enters? I did not notice if there has been a gate added to the main entrance but I have seen the gate at the lowest entry point by the supers apartment.
Unfortunately there will be shootings anywhere in the city and the US for that matter. This is evident by the latest high school shooting in Ohio within a community of 51 hundred people and 30 miles from Cleveland. If you go by a shooting then you will not find anywhere acceptable. Don't get me wrong I have my concerns as well, especially walking home from the train in the evening once the stores close since the area is so desolate at night. The nearest precient is a few blocks away so that is reassuring.
I am excited though. I just need a restaurant or bar to open up on third ave. Something like Bruckner Bar and Grill <3<3<3 If I could get an investor I will write the business plan and execute
I always lived in a co-op all of my life. Growing up as a children and until I moved on my own. Both times, I lived near the projects. However, you just have be aware of your surroundings. But, Wow! A shooting in front of VV, that's really frightening. Definitely, I have to be careful.
Courtyard space: Is for the renters and shareholders. Access to the co-op and rental units go thru the doorman access door or thru the side door on the south side of the co-ops.

Reason: mispelled word
I wish this development the best of luck. This may be a dramatic turn in events for low income inner city communities in the United States. The Bronx has the opportunity to go from one of the most polluted residential environments in the USA to one of the Greenest.
Nice article. I think I should have been the buyer that was interviewed though, joking...sort of . I see the allure in having a non Bronx native talking about moving and buying in the Bronx. Whatever it takes to get the last units sold and me moving in.
Read the comments. I wish I had time in the day to set the first commentor straight..."I will wait to there is fresh bread" Really though? WTF do you think the Bronx is, a third world country? Better yet, where do you think your bread is baked at?!
@MsTaz- Did you end of getting your three bedroom? I think your last post says you weren't able to get a unit.
@MsTaz- That is awesome! Congrats! Can I hang out in your backyard and BBQ? lol sorry, I am kicking myself for giving up the two bedroom with two full bath, storage and backyard that I was originally holding. Buyers remorse has set in. This is my first purchase though and I snagged up a duplex still so I should be fine :-) Congrats again!
Congrats to all. Investing in your future and in your neighborhood tops all the chatter.
