655 Middle Country Rd

A low-rise, garden-style cooperative community built in 1978, the property is arranged as two-story walk-up buildings that contain one- and two-bedroom residences. Units commonly feature vaulted or cathedral ceilings in some floorplans, eat-in kitchens, formal dining or living/dining layouts, and practical touches such as pantry space, recessed lighting, and washer/dryer hookups. Many homes have private outdoor space — ground-floor fenced patios or second-floor balconies — and interior updates are frequently noted in listings (modernized kitchens, renovated baths, new flooring and sliding doors). Shared facilities are oriented to active, family-friendly living: a clubhouse, in-ground swimming pool, playground, tennis courts, basketball court, and a dog run. Grounds are maintained with landscaped courtyards and walkways; assigned surface parking is provided. Building administration operates as a co-op with monthly maintenance that often bundles heat, water, sewer, snow removal, garbage, and property taxes. Pet policies vary by unit but cats are commonly allowed while dogs may be restricted. The complex appeals to buyers seeking maintenance-included ownership in a suburban Long Island setting with accessible on-site recreation and modestly sized, updated condo-style homes.
