This is my first post . Have been reading all threads and comments here. Learnt a lot. Thanks a lot to everyone.
Just closed on Riverwalk Court one week ago. I can't be happier now. Now I am free from worring about dollar devaluating. I don't care about Land Lease, not being a Manhattan, tran issues.
The building is just a American Dream come true thing. It's fantastic. RI is gourgous island . And thanks to Related. They came to senses and did cut a lot . A LOT.
I am not american , that's why i dont' trust dollar. Dollar is toast. I aslo believe we haven't landed on the bottom. I explained already I wanted to save my savings. I dont need those papers, colored green.
Only last comment here. I missed huge run up on stockmarket becuase I listened to the loosers like you. I could've already retired.
that was just dumb. and how self-serving of you to blame your decision on others. but following up on your error in the stock market with a purchase on Roosevelt Island might not have been the best path to follow.
Yeah , yeah, yeah, sit and wait folks , sit and wait. Everything is under control.
Fed will rob you to the last dime . Through the dollar devaluation and taxes.
Inflation is immenent.
Sit and wait, folks. Life just will pass by under your nose. Sit and wait. Always be aboutready.
One above has been aboutready for many years now. Be aboutready folks, sit and wait.
P.S. On my floor all apartments moved-in , but one - 3bed. Check with admin if I am a realtor, he can see my IP. That's it no more comments from me.

Keremetski, I am happy that you are very excited about your purchase. Wish you the best.
I lived on RI and wasn't too happy about it. I was thinking of buying but opted to rent first and I am glad i did. After living there for one year, I figured that buying on RI I would be facing at least the following 3 problems: 1) The commute into Manhattan is terrible. It is very difficult communting between the island and Manhattan in the morning - You really have to wait for 3 or more subway or cable cars to go through before you get on. Remember the island is the last stop before you enter Manhattan and the subway is normally packed by the time it reaches RI, 2) Land lease. You have around 60 yrs left on the lease and then what? uncertainty brings decreases in property values and that is why your unit will not appreciate much in value , and 3) No offence, but the island is way overpopulated with one group of people - Established professionals tend to prefer multi race/cultural areas and the concentration of one group in RI creepy.
I hope you did your homework and you identified and accept the negatives that come with the island; otherwise, you will be very disappointed in living there.
Keremetski,interested in hearing more about your experiences at RI. Which 2 BR line did you purchase (F, A, C)? Have you moved in? How did transaction go? If you don't mind talking about your experience directly you can reach me through http://scr.im/universal
Please give me your opinions on what the sf in this building should be. I am considering making an offer but I see that all the closings occur at abou 575 to 600sf. I like the quiet and love the building itself but compared to other neighborhoods I am worried that that may be a little igh for Roosevelt Island.

Isn't Riverwalk in San Antonio?
"The building is just a American Dream come true thing."
Thanks, realtor, but fix your American. Buy a consonant: a n.
