Concord Village is actually a very very nice place to live. Nicely kept up grounds and spacious apartments (the studios aren't closets like they are in many other buildings). Plus, you really can't beat the location. I wish one of these "guests" would check it out a little closer before posting such a comment. The market is crappy - no debate about it. Just want to point out that it's also frequented by students and faculty from MetroTech. I believe a nicer, better run market would make great business there.

Concord Village is STILL a place for moderate income people. I live there and couldn't have afforded any place in a comparable location (so many subway lines within short walking distance, commute to midtown less than 20 mins, walk to Dumbo, Promenade, etc etc) and size of the co-op. Trust me, I looked in Brooklyn and Manhattan. It's nice to live in a place where older residents live along with young small families. It's a very dog-friendly place, too.

To 1:56. I don't think it was tough, but it was the first time I went through the process. I had to prep a very indepth package, though, which took quite an effort and quite a while but it really was worth it. I honestly love living there. And I have no problem admitting that the buildings aren't pretty from the outside. But there's more to it - what's the saying, don't judge a book by its cover.

You know, I could be "turned on to brownstones and historic buildings as an alternative" if I had more dough in my bank account. 2:59 - your comment is so snobbish.
