Well please let everyone know where you can buy a 1 bedroom co-op for under $200,000 in NYC and still be within 30 minutes to midtown, 3 blocks to an express train station as well as 4 blocks to a metro-north station (coming soon!), be across the street from a park, be within 6 blocks to a variety of restuarants and bars, 7 blocks to major shopping like Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, & Marshalls, plus more outdoor dining and retail coming into the new Gateway Center (coming soon!), be 5 blocks to a watefront esplanade as well as bike paths that lead straight into the city.......we would all like to know.

Yes game nights can either be viewed as a pain in the a**, or as a time to go out and enjoy the crowds and the excitement. Depends on your view and lifestyle.

And the big white building is called Executive Towers...it does have parking and a decent lobby, as well as good views from the upper floors wtih balconies.

Yes true...especially if you drive it would be lunacy! The train is not as bad though...and with the new MetroNorth station coming...it will alleviate the train congestion.

There are folk I know living in Exec Towers, and they love it very much. They say it's a very well-run coop.

Yes I heard the same. Having outdoor space (balcony), views, and parking is a big draw!

Parkchester is fine. I've lived there for about 4 years and my inlaws and some other relatives live there. I've walked around there alone, late and night and nothing has happened to me. I'm female with a mohawk, etc and I haven't been harassed or anything. There are stores galore, a nice park with a fountain that is beautiful in the summertime. I was going to buy a condo there but it didn't work out. I actually miss parkchester. There are tons of working class people, families with children. I've been in the Bronx for a long time before my husband got relocated to Georgia and people had me terrified of living there before I came. I must say just like brooklyn and even manhattan it has its ugly areas but there are some beautiful ones. It just gets a bad rap. People made me feel like I would get robbed or raped on a daily basis living there. I've never been a victim of crime and haven't yet seen a crime.
