We chose to live here because it is safe and a…read moregreat location across the street from Flushing Meadow Park and a small park where children can play. The park across the street has tennis courts and paddleball courts and a nice playground. Of course Flushing Meadow Park is a huge Park with many many amenities. One of our favorite things is to walk around the lake at sunset. Priceless! The pool is closed right now pending renovation but when it's open I think this building will once again be five stars. We love our Doormen, especially Antoine and Tony there more like our own private concierge, much more than Doormen! They go out of their way to make sure that our needs are met and have often exceeded my expectations; sometimes I think they know what I need even before I realize I need it! These hard-working men make it a pleasure to live at the Fairview. 24 hour security is visible and constantly patrolling the building and the grounds. There is a courtyard with picnic tables and chairs to relax and enjoy the evening breeze. There is also a private play ground for residence and a small basketball court also. The huge laundry room makes it almost a pleasure to do laundry it is card operated and almost all the machines work very rarely have to wait for a machine. Parking can be a challenge so you may want to purchase an apartment that has a parking space on the lease already. There is both indoor and outdoor parking that is reasonably priced. The management office has always responded to my needs and addressed issues quickly and appropriately. Although I am not a pet owner, the building is pet friendly. Management seems to understand the importance of pet ownership and pet owners are respectful of their home and surrounding property. I have no issues with noise or pet waste. The subway is about a mile away. Plenty of buses within walking distance Including express buses to Midtown and downtown Manhattan.

I've lived in Northridge Coop Section 2 for over 40 years and have loved it! There is no management…read morecompany, the co-op is run by VOLUNTEER board members. It has the lowest maintenance fees in any of the co-ops around with one fixed rate mortgage- where others have several balloon mortgages. The co-op is very cautious with repairs and expenses. The staff is friendly, helpful and keep our home in great shape. One of the most important things is the coop owns its land; it is not leased as most coops are in the area!!! We will not be hit by lease hikes when other Co-ops leases will be over and then raised. Lots' of young people are buying here and we have more and more little ones living here. We have a private sitting area in the middle of the buildings. I feel very fortunate and grateful to be living here!

I love this place. Let me give a disclaimer, I am on the board. I am on the board because I love…read morethis place. This review is being written by me as an individual and is not being written by the coop nor is this any official statement. Also, much of this information can change as coops and other places evolve and change. When I was searching for a place, I was looking for a place that was financially responsible and well managed. I found both of these items in Northridge Coop Section 2. There are 3 Sections. This one was the one I liked most. I looked at Apartments in all three. The staff works had to keep the buildings clean and in shape. There is a private garden, a gym which costs about $5 a month to join and a community room. There are laundry rooms throughout and the prices are right. The buzzer system has cameras so that you can see who is in the lobby as well as who is in the laundry rooms and whether the machines are free. There are two garages for cars. However, there is about a two year wait for a spot. There are also storage rooms where you can rent a shed. The coop has a mix of old and young people as well as people of many races. It is quiet and most of my neighbors are professionals or retired. The units must be owner occupied. No subletting. There are no dogs allowed. Cats are allowed. Carpets are required. When you sell your unit, 25% of your profit goes back to the coop. 75% goes back if you sell in less than 2 years. (ie: Purchase Price: $100k Sale price $200k, profit is $100k and $25 goes to the coop) This is placed into the general fund and used to keep the maintenance low. While at first blush this may sound insane to some, it helps the older people who can not deal as well with market fluctuations in energy costs, etc and in actuality, it is their estates that really pay the most as someone who purchased in the 50s or 60s will have way more profit than you will if you buy today and sell in five years. In fact, in that case, you would have done well and profited due to the lower cost of maintenance. To be fair and balanced, one of the things I have never liked as a young professional is that the laundry rooms close at 8pm. Even though I left manhattan over two years ago, I am still not used to the laundry room closing, let alone so early. As the complex is a Naturally Occurring Retirement Community, meaning that many of the original owners still own and live in the place, I think that the 8 pm rule does not bother most people. I have also been told that it was created due to noise and people who live above the laundry rooms. I love this place. The people are nice. Time is spent by my neighbors making sure where we live looks great. People plant flowers, etc. There is a sense of community. There is a 24 hour drug store on the corner. While the train is a walk, there is a bus that comes a block away. I am shocked by the prices and hope they stay undermarket. I strongly believe that the internet and post office designation of the place as being in East Elmhurst when it is actually Jackson Heights have saved us from the scrutiny of outsiders and the crazy market inflation. The fact is, the value of the units have risen consistently since I came and has not been affected at all in my opinion by the market. Undermarket is undermarket. I remember going to see a broker just a mile away and telling him what I wanted to spend. He literally told me I was dreaming. I spent less. Call me Martin Luther King. I have a dream and that dream is Northridge!

I know moving in and moving out is cumbersome, time consuming and expensive. It may test the community commitment of a resident. For my family the co-op residency served our purpose very well and we have no desire to move out anywhere else in the world. It is such an ideal place to retire in New York City given the very high cost of living in the City. Numerous special assessments were inevitable due to the rising taxes and utilities. Compared to the escalating home ownership expenses of single family home Westmoreland is still a bargain basement price. Long Live the co-op board..!!

Before they got involved, the building had a serious cockroach problem, garbage rooms were routinely neglected, and management seemed more interested in handing out $250 fines from watching security cameras than maintaining the property. Cons: - Expect leaks and water damage whenever it rains. Management is slow to respond, and repairs are usually the cheapest possible patch instead of a real fix. - The current superintendent is a major reason people are unhappy living here. He is intentionally nice to new tenants and asks them to tell management what a great job he's doing for his own job security, but has well-documented issues of targeting anyone who does not kiss up to him. Maintenance issues go unresolved, and interactions with tenants are very unprofessional. I've seen repeated complaints from residents about his conduct, including trash being put outside tenants' doors, common areas being deliberately made unsafe for residents to gather by spraying pure bleach all over meeting areas, stealing from tenants, and other behavior that has made many people feel disrespected. He regularly smokes throughout the building despite the lease prohibiting it, including near flammable materials in the garage. Instead of focusing on maintaining the building, he instigates conflict, and it has had a noticeable impact on the quality of life for tenants. The level of concern is such that numerous residents have installed cameras outside their apartment doors. If Galil Management genuinely wants to improve this building, it needs to replace the current superintendent with someone who is competent, professional, and focused on maintaining the property instead of creating conflict. The location is great, and the building has potential, but one person has become the source of constant drama and declining tenant satisfaction. The solution is obvious: hire someone who fixes problems instead of creating them.
