Why You Should Consider the Fleetwood Neighborhood

Fleetwood Neighborhood

Fleetwood, New York

When it comes to New York State, people need to be reminded that there is so much more to this incredible state than just New York City.  We previously dove into the benefits of living in Westchester County and here we take an even deeper look into a specific and completely unique area – the Fleetwood neighborhood.

This neighborhood was recently named the county’s ‘best kept secret’, but The New York Times and other reviews speak for themselves. Fleetwood is located on the north side of Mount Vernon closer to Bronxville.

Affordability is a huge draw for those looking to purchase their first house or COOP apartment or just downsize.  And the taxes are low.  It has a small town feel with modern conveniences.  And the business district on North Gramatan has much to offer with many lovely restaurants and shops.

The whole area covers about one and half square miles with a population of fewer than 20,000 people and is known for its diversity.

Fleetwood is also a very accessible area, driving-wise as it is super close to many major roadways.  It has its own Metro-North station and it only takes about 30 minutes via express train to get to Grand Central Station in Manhattan.

Fleetwood might be more of an open secret as the last couple of years, builders have begun planning luxury rentals and looking into other development projects.  If you’re in Westchester, check out Fleetwood.

Houlihan & O’Malley’s real estate agents are seasoned experts in Westchester County and the Fleetwood neighborhood.  Contact us if you are ready to buy or sell your home!

Westchester County

Westchester County

Harried New York City residents looking for a change are often pleasantly surprised by the county immediately to their north: Westchester.

Westchester County, with a population now approaching 1 million, was originally developed as a bedroom community for New York City about 100 years ago. The New York Central railroad built three lines – the Hudson, the Harlem and the New Haven – which carried yesterday’s hardworking New Yorkers into a veritable wonderland of space and greenery. In the intervening century, Westchester County has developed into an amazing amalgam of urban and rural landscapes, home to many who want to keep one foot in the city and one in the country.

In Westchester, residents can pick their living environment by size: large, medium, small. Residents can choose to live in one of its six cities –Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, White Plains, Peekskill and Rye City  – or its many towns and villages. Within Westchester’s cities, neighborhoods develop their own personalities much the same as they do in New York City. Bordered on the west by the glorious Hudson River –long an inspiration to both artists and sportsmen- and to the east by Long Island Sound, Westchester is an outdoor lover’s dream: kayaking, sailing, boating, jet skiing, fishing and swimming are integral parts of the summer scene.

Southern Westchester has close proximity to New York City with its excellent transportation which carries a good percentage of its population to and fro each day.  An exciting surge in transit-oriented development (TOD) in southern Westchester will soon provide new, luxury living space in pedestrian‑oriented communities to meet the rising demand for Westchester housing the NYC labor force is seeking.

Mid and northern Westchester towns and villages have less development and maintain a rural atmosphere, something made apparent in its farms –both the pick-your-own type and the horse farms.

Entertainment and sports opportunities abound: Concerts from rock to classical, local opera, various film houses, myriad opportunities for hiking, biking, culinary exploration, every type of outdoor sport including golf and horseback riding… the list can go on and on. A section of the Bronx River Parkway closes on Sunday mornings each Spring and Fall to accommodate Westchester’s bicycle riders.  The Old Croton Aqueduct trail alone provides almost 23 miles of fascinating riding!

Westchester has an extensive park system which is well-maintained. Beaches dot the eastern shores. A number of colleges and non-profit organizations sponsor talks, celebrations and events throughout the year.

Here’s a link to Westchester County Parks that will get you going on your exploration of this active, energetic county. There’s a little something for everyone!

Living in Eastchester, NY

Eastchester NY Real Estate

New York is full of many hidden gems and we are excited to share some fun facts as to why Eastchester is one of those places. Settled back in 1664, Eastchester has a rich history and lots to offer. Eastchester is bound by Scarsdale on the north, New Rochelle on the east, Yonkers on the west, and Mt. Vernon on the south.  And being just 20 miles outside of New York City make it a commuters dream. Tuckahoe and Bronxville are incorporated villages within the roughly 3.25 square miles.

This town boasts several amazing parks and is also home of The Treetures, a small magic forest nursery created by the local Girl Scouts many years ago (with over 1000 trees planted); visit www.treetures.com. See where it all started!

Some other iconic landmarks include St. Paul’s Church, which is a national shrine of the Bill of Rights, the Marble Schoolhouse and Hotel Gramatan.  These places are great for visitors and locals alike to enjoy.  It is also known as the “Cradle of American Golf” as Eastchester has had its share of champions.

The town offers numerous community events every year, many independently owned restaurants and lots of history/culture!  And even with a population of over 33,000, it stills has a small town vibe.

Houlihan & O’Malley have been helping people sell and buy homes in Eastchester and the surrounding areas for over 25 years.  Let us help you with your next real estate transaction.

Home Buying Contingencies to Consider Including in Your Purchase Offer

Home Buying

It means an offer on a home has been made and the seller has accepted it, but the finalized sale is contingent upon certain criteria that have to be met. These criteria, or contingencies, typically fall under three major categories: appraisal, home inspection and mortgage approval.

When it comes to home buying, there are several items and factors to consider. Some may be noticeable and others not so much.  In layman terms and as it relates to real estate, a contingency is a condition that must be met in order for the deal to be finalized. These things are identified and are made requirements to complete the sale.

Here we share some common contingencies that a purchaser should look to include in their offer-

A home inspection contingency is one of the most common and with a good reason. This allows for home buyers to safely have a way out if they are not happy or uncomfortable with the inspection.

A mortgage financing contingency is another common type you may want to consider. Many home buyers rely on mortgage loans to cover the costs of their purchase, or a large portion of it. If your mortgage falls through, you will be protected.

Be careful when it comes to making contingencies. Only include the ones you feel are a must, as this could make it easy for you to back out of a deal legally if things shouldn’t go as planned. But it can also make your offer less appealing to a seller which can be an issue in a hot market.

Overall, contingencies are smart to include in purchase offers.
