Anyone here live in Marcy/CO-OP City?

[mangudai954]

I may be moving to NY later this year and thes places were brought as places we may move to. Anyone on here live there?

Marcy Houses? Maybe a few people; maybe. I think Co-Op City would be your best bet. Jay-Z may make it seem nice in his videos but it is a sht hole. I wouldntlook to move their only if I had to.. and also it's public housing which means you need to qualify.. and I can probably imagine their is a waiting list..

I live in Co-Op. Its alright. Alright meaning safe, most bustas out here don't bother no one. Anything else you need to know?

 

[mangudai954]

Do you need a car over there?

 

[abeautifulhaze]

I live in Co-Op. Used to stay in Marcy and Tompkins.

Co-Op is like a mini-paradise in certain sections. Other section are a lil hood, nothing overwhelming. You DEFINITELY need a car though.

Marcy is pretty close to hell.

The second you step foot of Gates Ave....you will be tested. Have a hot jacket...you won't when you leave there.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Yea, you kind of need a whip here. On those hella cold days and you gotta get something from the plaza, or whatever, walking is pretty much suicide. Section 3,IMO, is the safest section.

Co-op is a good community. It has a lot of stores nearby and a movie theater. Also the apartments are very nice.

Co-op is ahhhhhh... Can't really describe it. It's a good/bad place. It all depends on your age group. Cause I went to High School in Co-op. TrumanSTAND UP!!!

I live in co-op and have lived there for a very long time. It used to be real quiet but now the young kids are trying to act hood. They really don't botheranyone. I don't see why you may need a car because every section (5sections) has a shopping center and there is a Mall near by (Bay Plaza). The apt'sare big too and everyone has to get cable vision. If you are paying extra on your current rent, you will enjoy that you don't have to pay for electric orwater so leave the ligths on all day if you want and you will never get charged. The only problem is that there are no local train stations so you would needto take a bus there or if you happen to live around Truman you could walk across the bridge (over the 95) to the 5 train.

Any questions: prsuperman247 - aim

How is parking over there..I hear you gotta move your car to the other side of the road at certain times as well?

 

[pr superman 247]

Parking is getting way better now that all the garages are reopening. If you don't mind paying, pay to park in the garage. That way your car stays cleanand you don't have to search outside or shovel the snow. I'm not sure they they still do it, but for more money you can get your own parking spotreserved on the first floor of the garage. No one can park in that spot or they can get towed.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Parking is just fine, at least in my section (3). I have access to the garage, but I usually wait 5-10 outside, sometimes more depending on the time of day,for a spot. And when I say you kind of need car, I mean in terms of getting to Bay Plaza. However, don't get it twisted, Bay Plaza sucks.

 

[pr superman 247]

I agree that Bay Plaza sucks but I still think that you really don't need a car. I haven't had a car for five years now and I have just become lesslazy. When I had a car I would drive to bay plaza just to run errands and shopping while I used to do the same things just walking there when I was younger.Everything you need is a walk away and I always shop for everything else in the city so it doesn't bother me.

 

[abeautifulhaze]

Yo Super Producer...wher you at in section 3? Im on Bellamy Loop...

 

[ogc163]

i live in section 4 and parking is horrible!!! my sister and my dad have had many nights where they have had to wait 2-3 hours to find parking. the corny co-opthugs aint nothing...they are the corniest individuals I have ever witnessed....lived out here for about 7 years and I never chilled with these clowns. so itspretty safe I guess

 

[Mister Meaner]

....beautifulhaze, Asch Loop my dude. My cuz live in Bellamy Loop though.

 

[pr superman 247]

I think I been here longer than most people so I go way back to when co-op had tons of old people with beach chairs just sitting in front of the building tonow they are too scared to go out. I'm in sec one.

 

[devanisgee]
