We come for one particular doctor out of many in this building, but essentially any of the providers in this building would be the best because they have organized themselves into this top end building. That makes finding a provider easy because all you have to do is check their addresses is in this building to give a vote of confidence. The front security desk is properly staffed even if foot traffic / volume is significant. It is difficult to park nearby, as is always challenging in downtown Flushing. There is a parking deck underneath, but few use it as on-street standing is easier. Thank you to the developer and management who make this happen.

I cannot recommend Craig Paulson highly enough!…read more I was going through a very challenging personal situation when I started my apartment search, and Craig treated me with immense kindness, empathy, and respect from day one. He went above and beyond to show me a lovely apartment in Brooklyn--complete with a private backyard--owned by a wonderful mother-and-son landlord team. But what truly set Craig apart was his dedication: he was quick in responding to communications and stuck with me through the entire application process, guiding me through every detail until the keys were in my hand. His professionalism, patience, and genuine care turned a stressful time into a successful move. I am incredibly grateful for everything he did for me. If you need a real estate broker who is not only dedicated and sharp but truly cares about his clients as human beings, look no further than Craig Paulson!

With her knowledge of the NY real estate market and ability to get things done for her clients, we can't recommend her enough!

I…read morerecently purchased my first home with John and his patience with my (many!) questions was limitless. I wasn't sure what I wanted initially, and it took well over a year to find the perfect fit. Throughout the process, John was responsive, patient, and helpful - and I never felt pressured. Many properties later it was clear I'd found the one and everything fell into place from there. John had a ton on his plate and yet always found ample time to help, and make it look effortless at that.

Roosevelt House, a rental building managed by Kaled Management. There's a love-hate with this…read morebuilding. It gets 3 stars because of their abnormally cheap rentals, that is, if you can handle the bad and ugly. The Good: - It's a rent-stabilized building, meaning the rent is very low. Currently in 2015 new rentals go out starting 1.4K for one bedrooms. - There's top quality washers and dryers downstairs on the ground floor accessible by a laundry card. - It's conveniently located across the street from a supermarket and 2 blocks from the train station. The Bad: - Giant 2-inch cockroaches roams the building. Don't ever expect them to leave. Best if they don't go inside your apartment. You usually see them dead in the laundry room or in the lobby. - Saw a mouse once during Christmas time that ran into the tree. Cute. - The lobby general smells like garbage, especially during the summer, because the garbage rooms are at the ground level. There's no basement. - The building is right by the LIRR line. You will always hear it pass through every half hour or so, even at night. - The building is a giant insulated machine. It's really hot in the summer time. You will be an air conditioner. - The elevator breaks down every few months or so. I don't know why. It just does. You report it. They fix it. It breaks down again. - They recently installed a new intercom system that links to your phone instead of the buzzer built in the apartment. Deliverymen really don't know how to use it, especially if they don't speak English. They'll call you, you'll have to go downstairs and walk them through the system each time. The Ugly: - USPS/UPS/FedEx likes to leave packages at your door if you're not home (they have building access). Unfortunately, either the building isn't secure or there's a residential thief. I've had books stolen from USPS, Video games taken from UPS and destroyed, then tossed back in my front door, and homemade Christmas fruitcake stolen on a Sunday when I went to work. Do not order anything that can't fill in your mailbox or it'll be stolen. Tips for survival: - The pest control management posted monthly is just a few bug sprays and some baits. You're better off doing it yourself. - Don't ever bother the super for anything or you'll be on his sh*t list. Technically, this is a Catch-22 if you think about it. - The custodial staff is nice here. Tip them.

It's like they took every single one of my family's favorite spots in the DMV in one place...I could wander this mall for hours and still not get bored. A special shout out goes to: - The Royce Chocolate Pop Up: Free samples of the best chocolate in the world. We went home with a box and it's so rich that I've been snacking on it for the past month with more than halfway to go. -Lady M Cafe: The best crepe cake spot. Purchase a whole cake or by the slice. - Muji: I spent way too much money and time here putting together my perfect planner and trying out all of their pens. - Kura Sushi: Another favorite from back home, but this time with no wait! - Gatcha - One of the biggest Japanese style arcades we have been to! My daughters were so psyched to win a little stuffed bear from the claw machine. - Kokuru Cat Cafe - I didn't get to go in because I'm allergic but we had a fun time watching them play through the window. - Potobox: Giant, Korean style photo booth with long lines!

While there's the Classover Academy educational center and Goldfish Swim School, most of the other stores and vendors are gear to extract beaucoup bucks from your wallet when the children with you start making demands. That could be an enjoyable experience or a less pleasant, expensive one, depending on your situation. There's Kokoro Cat Café, PopMart character tchotchkes in a vending machine and storefront, and Gatcha arcade. For all ages, there's also Regal Theaters, a sizable food court and restaurants. On the whole, Tangram was different than any other mall I've seen in New York or the U.S. Maybe worth checking out, but if you have young ones with you, ensure you have your wallet!

While it may appear fine at first, there are some serious quality of life issues at Le Havre:…read moreFor starters, unless you are acclimated to colder climates, you will need to purchase electric supplement heaters for your unit as the management will not provide heat until the thermostat reaches 50F, and even then only the bare minimum. While you're at it, pick up some earplugs also, as the noise situation at all hours of the day and night is deplorable; slamming doors, loud arguments, gas-powered leaf blowers and car alarms that ring on and on. Most of the plumbing is original, so be prepared for the water to be shut off without any advance notice while the maintenance dept. traces leaks, etc. Also, be home or be prepared to allow the plumbers access to your unit to troubleshoot in your absence. You will be charged a whopping fee of $8,000 to rent the parking space that may have been included with your Co-Op. You will need to pay this fee as the locals don't take kindly to people taking up the parking spots in the street in front of their homes. The individual units don't have laundry facilities; instead washers and dryers (often broken) are alternately placed in the odiferous compactor room on each floor. Finding available machines can be a real problem with many families residing there. The complex has 2 swimming pools, though overcrowding with small children preclude taking a casual swim without bumping into them. A private health club for adults is a much better choice. Each building has only a single elevator, and when it is broken or undergoing inspection, be prepared to walk up/down the stairs. The maintenance department puts chairs in the stairwell so that you don't have a heart attack. Many of the residents also smoke in the stairwells when it is too cold to smoke on their terraces, so avoid the stairwells if you are sensitive to secondhand smoke. Better yet, you'd probably be better off to avoid Le Havre at any price...
