New Dorp is desirable area, with easy access to shopping centers, beaches, parks, schools, hospitals, and public transportation. In my personal opinion, I'd give it 9. - Thu Dec 20 2007, 09:53
Perfect credit but short on money? Most of the foreclosures I've seen need a lot of work, so you'll need funds to fix the place up. Also, keep in mind that most of the properties in Midland Beach are in a flood zone, and thus require flood insurance, which can be costly. - Thu Dec 20 2007, 09:30
It's already happening. It may be at a different pace than in Brooklyn, but the area around St. George has been undergoing a major change. All along Bay St properties are being bought up by investors, some of them looking to resell them, while others are building new condos, and houses. The area is part of the Empire Zone, with state founded incentives to business that open there and create workplaces. - Tue Jul 10 2007, 07:33
