Four of the announced 34 units in the sometimes controversial project--formerly known as "The Riverside"--will be "affordable" as governed by the Village Code.
This development was pushed through by the Village board without concerns to neighbors objections. An overwhelming majority of residents objected to this kind of density but the board decided that this satisfied their mandate.
Lauren, I note that you expressed your concerns about this project back in December 2020 during the remote public hearing that was conducted by the Board of Trustees on this project. The logistics of commenting were difficult—video was turned off so no one could see the faces of residents who did—but about five villagers did speak at that time, all in opposition.
Aside from the usual concerns related to all of this development in our little village, it's very strange that people would pay premium prices to live next to a highway and train tracks with all that noise and pollution. I guess these developers and realtors know better than I.
A safe place to live, a good school district, and an easy commute, trump unappealing architecture, air pollution, and noise. This is especially true in he tight housing market in which we live.
I bet the condos sell fast, as will the ones at 1 Croton Point Avenue.
I also prefer that they are condos instead of rentals. Ownership encourages better citizenship and builds personal wealth.
I think that we all realize that they are condos. I still feel sorry for people paying to live with all that traffic and railroad noise and air pollution.

Prices are unvelievable.
