    "Good commute as highways are so close and it’s in between Nassau county and queens so when you want the nice suburb views it’s right there and when you want the city views it’s right there as well"

    "I’ve lived here for 2 years and I love that it’s quiet and yet I’m still a quick walk or drive away from everything. The neighbors are nice, respectful, and it’s a great place to live. You feel totally safe just taking a stroll at night by yourself. "
