apartment complex

i know i have talked about this & that i know its not a home but thought u guys can help me out. I narrowed it down to two places. One is in medford & the other is in coram. The medford we love but they increased the price i think by almost $200 so now we are waiting for the special. We didn't look at the coram- but its a townhouse apartment which we would get the upstairs & downstairs. They are very reasonable. Also i heard there are a few other townhouses to rent- anyone know where? Is coram a good neighborhood?

Re: apartment complex

Of course an apartment is a home! You aren't homeless if you rent!! I'm not too familiar with the areas personally. I live in a complaex in Ronkonkoma though but I know they have several complexes throughout long island.

Heatherwood Communities

I believe they have them in Medford and Coram. I'm very happy with where I am. The rent is reasonable for the size and comfort provided, the grounds are well kept and the super's always answer calls.

Re: apartment complex

omg! that is so funny b/c it is the heatherwood community that i was looking at in medford. My friend lives in the medford & we really like it.

Re: apartment complex

We live in heatherwood in patchogue(heatherwood house) and we love it. The size and price are great!

Re: apartment complex

Which complexes are they? If it's Brookwood in Coram, I've heard bad things. If it's Avalon Pines on the golf course or that new place on Middle Country near 112, I've heard good things about Avalon communities. The new construction one I saw a sign saying $850 move in special, no rent until July or something like that.

Renting or owning doesn't define what a "home" is

Re: apartment complex

omg! i'm so glad you told me - yes its brookwood in coram- i will definitely look at others!

Re: apartment complex

I rented in Brookwood in Coram when the units were brand new. At the time the area was fine & the units were huge & it was so nice to having a brand new place. Unfortunatly that was a good 15 years ago, I'm not sure what its like now. you may be able to find a private townhouse rental in a community that is mostly owners not renters. you usually need to go through an agent for that

Re: apartment complex

My friend lives in Brookwood Townhouses with her family and has for years. She is pretty happy there. The Townhouse side is much better than the regular old apartment side. There are alot of families.

Re: apartment complex

any other apartment complexes you can think of? medford, patchogue, holbrook,- around those areas

Re: apartment complex

it has to have 2 bedrooms & washer/dryer

Re: apartment complex

Coram is a nice middle-class town but like every town there is an area "not so nice".

Complexes in Coram I'd recommend are Avalon Pines or Brettonwoods.

In the same area you can explore 3 other options:

1) Port Jefferson Village - The Regency Condos

2) Mount Sinai - The Ranches (these are often for rent by owner)

3) Smithtown - Hidden Ponds

Lots of options. Send more info and I can help more.

Re: apartment complex

do u know any that have websites? what do u think about the fairfield properties- i see they have a lot in different areas. i was checking out the one in medford

Re: apartment complex

have you tried Saddle Rock?? its right off sunrise hwy around Holbrook - its really nice and its gated.......

Re: apartment complex

Saddle Rock is nice - good call.

I do like Fairfield Properties - they maintain their developments really well. I'll send you a FM on this.

The developments I mentioned above:

The Ranches (you purchase these but there are people who rent) - it's an upscale community - http://ranches.hypermart.net/index.html


The Regency (again, you can purchase these but many are for rent) - it all depends if you want to be in the Village as it has pros and cons - no website I know of but there is one for sale on MLSLI http://www.mlsli.com/unidetailsredo_test.CFM?MLNum=2168455&typeprop=1&start=1&rpp=10 (MLS #2168455)


Avalon Pines in Coram is really nice - http://www.avaloncommunities.com/avaloncore/nadvantage.asp?comm=167

forgot 2...

1 - Brettonwood in Coram - http://brettonwoodshoa.org/index.php?m=Home&e=home

2 - Hidden Ponds in Smithtown -

Re: apartment complex

thanks for the info- i will check these out! it seems like the heatherwood & fairfield communities are best for me but i will see

Re: apartment complex

Just saw your post -

We live in Fairfield(Port Jefferson) love it !!!!

Avalon in Coram is fabulous (we have friends & family in there) the small 2 bed, 2 bath is $1800 a month

heatherwood is ok - my friend works for them

brookwood/heatherwood/fairfield are all the same just owned by different people. Coram in Long wood school district.. ok

Re: apartment complex

Re: apartment complex

Another And another

Ok...last one

Re: apartment complex

thank you soooo much for the websites- they are so helpful! is holtsville in a good area?

Re: apartment complex

I would stay away from Fairfield. Don't even get me started on what they did to me when I was 8 months pregnant. If you do a search, it might come up (can't remember if I deleted).

Holtsville is nice..some people on here live in Victorian Gardens and they seem to like it. Did you look at Medford Pond on 112?

Re: apartment complex

We rented at Stonegate in Middle Island. It's only a few minutes from both Avalons in coram.

They were nice apartments.

Re: apartment complex

Re: apartment complex
