She said she couldn't wait to get out and is far happier where she is now with neighbors who all own, no sublets allowed, and they're all on the same page with being caring, courteous and considerate of one another.what neighbors should be. She also commented on how small the bedrooms are in all of the apartments there compared to other developments. She said she hated living in Glen Oaks for many different reasons from inconsiderate, trashy neighbors, some of whom were sublets that didn't care about the development and their neighbors as they had the luxury of being transient, problems with parking, overcrowding, cars in the area being vandalized, that kind of thing. One had lived there for several years and moved to a different development nearby. It's funny, since I posted to you last time I've spoken to two additional people about Glen Oaks Village. Glad to hear you found something and now have the ability to save up longer for something else! We put the condo search on hold and decided to save up a bigger down payment for a different development. There were a few more updated units that we would have had to return during the week to view but we opted not to and found a rental elsewhere in northern Queens. It was in the smaller western section, which seemed a little 'trashier' with toys and furniture laying messily around the grounds. The least updated was terrible: filthy, tiny rooms, old appliances. The reno was ok, not great, e.g., new appliances but they left peeling paint on the walls, and the downstairs neighbors' music was clearly audible. The most updated unit, the largest two-bedroom, was smaller than our current rental. No animal odor (lol!) but we were not looking that close to the farm. We went to see three Glen Oaks rental units in December. I'm feeling the need to move on this a bit more now as the place I'm in now is becoming a bit harrowing as the landlord suffers from dementia and it is rapidly progressing and his family is, unfortunately, not as involved as they should be and he lives alone in his apartment.getting a little scary and unsafe feeling. I don't know that Deepdale Gardens actually offers rental situations, but I know Glen Oaks does. Both seem to have pretty good and sound financial track records.

I may also consider the rental option for a little while if I can find something I like since I'm still so undecided on which one to consider buying in. I was at a meeting with someone who happens to live right across from the farm and her take was a little different based on animal noises early in the morning and sometimes 'odor', lol, but that is with living directly across the street. I, too, thought being near the farm museum would be pretty cool. Just wondering if you got any further in your search or if you wound up finding a rental unit in Glen Oaks and, if so, how you may be liking it so far. We were considering renting in Glen Oaks as a way to try before we buy. We are also concerned that Glen Oaks may be congested, although living by the farm is pretty cool. Clearview seems to have more complaints and/or more vocal complainants than the other two. Maintenance is fine, maintenance is terrible, etc. Ability to have a washer and dryer in the unit does matter to me and both communities allow them. Glen Oaks allows dogs, where Deepdale doesn't. I'm curious as to what percentage of the maintenance fee in each can be deducted at tax time. Everything I've read about Deepdale and Glen Oaks seems like they are financially sound. I was also looking at Beech Hills, but I found a couple of postings on line citing possible financial stability issues and complaints of higher maintenance and relatively frequent special assessments. Deepdale seems pretty quiet to me and maybe not as congested. I've driven around both communities on a couple of occasions. An ex-co-worker lived in Glen Oaks and complained about parking there. It seems that Deepdale's floorplans show a little bit larger rooms in some instances than Glen Oaks. I've been looking into Deepdale Gardens and Glen Oaks. Just wondering how your search was going for those complexes and what you may have found out.
