I commuted into Manhattan for about eight years of my time there. Sailing is deeply rooted in the culture of Port Washington and I also owned a sailboat for years, which occupied a lot of my free time. I also had four, large grocery stores within a five- to 10-minute drive from my apartment. Port Washington has excellent restaurants and my favorites were La P'tite Framboise, Finn MacCools, Waterzooi, and Bonsai Sushi. Two close friends of mine lived locally, and I had other friends scattered on Long Island, so there was always plenty of socializing. My unit had a lot of storage space, the bedrooms were very large, and the kitchen and bathroom had been updated just prior to my move-in. The complex was very well maintained and the staff were always very responsive.
I liked the layout of our buildings I only shared an entrance and hallway with five other apartments so it was very private. I had access to all of the things I needed in town and was also close enough to the highways for when I needed to go somewhere. My rent was approximately $2,800 monthly, including use of a private, single-car garage. The neighborhood was quiet, very residential, but within walking distance of restaurants and bars. (I usually dropped off my laundry elsewhere because the building’s facilities were often very crowded.) Aside from a shared laundry room, there were no amenities. I rented a two-bedroom apartment that was approximately 900 square feet. It was on five acres with 200 feet of water frontage and a dock. When I got a good job opportunity in Manhattan, I moved back.įor the last two and a half years I was living in a prewar apartment complex of eight buildings.
I left for about 10 years for school and work.
I grew up in Port Washington, a small waterfront community on the north shore of Long Island. Now he’s very much a fan of NYC living and urban amenities. His breezy lifestyle always won out-until he sold his boat and falling rents lured him to Hell’s Kitchen. debated about whether to move to Manhattan, where he worked, or remain on Long Island, where he enjoyed his quiet, residential neighborhood and spent his free time sailing.
