Forest Green is a low-rise cooperative community in Islip built in 1970, organized around two-story buildings and landscaped courtyards. Most residences are one-bedroom layouts (with larger multi-bedroom options also found) averaging roughly 800–900 square feet; typical units offer open-concept living and dining areas, eat-in or galley-style kitchens with granite or quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and features such as hardwood floors, ceiling fans, California-style closets and first-floor primary bedrooms in some plans. Exterior common elements include secured private entrances for some units, shared courtyards with a fenced dog run, and abundant on-site parking (typically two spaces per unit). The co-op’s amenity package is substantial for a garden-style complex: a salt-water in-ground pool, rentable clubhouse, fitness center, and laundry facilities are maintained by the association. Monthly maintenance fees bundle heat, water, grounds care, snow removal and a significant portion of property taxes; certain interior upgrades such as in-unit stackable laundry are permitted with approval. The setting emphasizes a walkable suburban lifestyle with easy access to local shops, restaurants, schools, hospitals, LIRR service and highways, and nearby ferries and beaches, making it a commuter- and family-friendly property with pet-friendly rules allowing two dogs or cats without a weight limit.
