I actually live here in Co-op City. It's humbling to know that you enjoy this place so much.
Weldon Spivey when I come back to Manhattan in January 2020, I’m definitely going to visit it! I’d love to live in a place like that!
New York needs more places like Co-op city, looks very peaceful.
Sergey- Here is a little more information about the northeast Bronx where I lived many years ago as a child. You might be surprised to learn that very close to Co-op City is a another "green zone" that consists of two golf courses, a boat basin and a large public beach along with walking trails, a garden club and even a horse path in the good old days! Not far away is City Island where you can go in the evening for a nice fish dinner and look out at the Long Island sound. New York City is a very diverse place!
I've lived in co-op city for most of my life. It's a very nice area,clean and quiet. It is a little far from Manhattan but I wouldn't want to live in the actual city. It's too dirty and noisy. It looked a little dead on the streets when you came, was it during the afternoon during the week? Also which train did you take? It looks like you might have taken the 5 to gun hill road, going towards 241st. That was one of the longer ways to get to co-op. If you come again take the 6 train or take the 5 train towards drye Ave. and if you come back again, let me know and I can show you around.
Shante Skyers I would love you to show me co-op city! I'm carl from London UK. I'm looking to come to New York soon I hope x
divaquana ok lol
Shante Skyers except for the noisy teenagers and the fights...
I lived in Co-op City for over 20 years and absolutely fun place to live!
$75,000- $100,000 seems like high income for "Low income" housing/rent control. In many American States $100,000/yr income would have you among the top income bracket and afford you a $300,000 home. But I'm led to believe that in NY $100,000 is chump change. Nice reporting Sergey ! спаси́бо!
Respect!! I grew up there for a time. There are chevrons, towers, and townhouses. There is a railyard in Section 5 for Metro North railroad near the Hutchinson River.
Don’t forget about triple cores.
This is the Sergey we all know and love...providing the deepest insight wherever he goes! :)
i learned much about housing, thanks for uploading this video
I grew up in Co-op City, and my mom still lives there. I'm actually going home to visit this coming Friday.
I have lived here for 47 years in the same apartment.
I've lived in apartments all my life but nothing like that. I wonder what that would be like to live in buildings the size of those. And 50,000 people in that small of an area. That's the population of my entire town! It would be great to see what one of the apartments is like.
Thanks for this! It was a great tour of that area.
Hi Brent...As I told Sergey, I grew up in Co-op City, and my mother still lives there. We grew up in one of the "tower" buildings, on the 29th floor, with a terrace and a helluva view. it was a three bedroom apartment, and for my brother and I, it was a good place to grow up. Not perfect, but still much better than other area of the Bronx.
My mother moved to a smaller, one bedroom apartment in the complex, following the death of my father in 1988. She still lives there today.
Brent Braniff it really doesn’t feel like your cramped and the co-ops are relatively spacious
The jungle u dont wanna live there..........
@@SVGINwhy? These arent rentals, but co-op "housing"
Good to see your smile, Sergey! I have caught up on all the videos I missed and am back to normal. Best wishes to you on your latest visit to New York City. Good to see you showing both the 'best' and 'worst' places in the city. Sad that there are always some who can't get out of poverty.
The reason they put a cap on the max income is because these housing are heavily subsidized . they want to make sure only those who really need it gets the chance to stay in them. Same as most Singapore government housing.
I lived in Alcott for 30 years....my sister still lives there.
LIVED IN CO-OP CITY SECTION 5 TOWNHOUSE FROM 1983-2005. CURRENTLY IN SAN ANTONIO TX.
Sergey, its great to see you smile!!
I used to hang out a lot in Co-op City with my buddies when we were in high school. It’s one of the nicest area in the Bronx. I envy people who live there.
I live in co-op, and since it’s basically all i have ever known I don’t see anything except for the fact that the kids could be a little rambunctious after school.
stayed there in the 1970s it was fresh and new rent was only 300 a month .
no you didn't
The area is nice, but if you're looking for a place to live that's closer to the city and you don't have a car, you need to take a bus to get to the Pelham Bay stop on the 6 train. It's somewhat disconnected from NYC.
It's beautiful! It is great when housing is for living in, not a speciliative asset & exploitative.
Largest Cooperative in the World
Sergey, we miss one of your trademark ontroductions "no bullshit".
It is Mitchell-Lama, which is subsidized.
Hi Sergey,nice video,thank you.For example,in France,in this type of place,you begin to run,run as fast as you can...and,if you take a camera,you..stay at home,it is preferable 😁.
good information about beautifully constructed cooperative city in Bronx in New York #
Thanks for the interesting video Sergey. I live in a place that is about the opposite in population density. My nearest neighbor is about 1.6 km away. However, I think in many ways I believe we live more communally with our neighbors than these densely packed housing developments.
nice your living in the city where i used to live i miss co-op but it been awhile i might visit my old neighborhood soon if i get a chance to
nice big apartments but once you leave your apartment the area is ghetto. The worst part was section 5 don't know how it is now.
Amzing job you are doing, Sergy. Can't wait to see whats next. Hockey Games (Stanley Cup), Museums, Concerts??
darn he found my city
no criminal record to live there ..? Thats some kind of segregation , isn`t it !?
Thanks Sergey for showing us how other people live.
When you actually live in Co op 😅😅😅
Section 1
CHIYO PON i do
CHIYO PON I know Section one lol
same
LOL
CHIYO PON sec 1 here
U should've taken the 6 train and then a bus 🚌 at the Pelham Bay Pk Station
Hey that's my home town!
I worked in the power plant for 39 years and retired in 2009.
A MetroNorth station is Coming to Co-Op City in 2027
Looks a lot like Hong Kong but not as crowded
The architects who built these high-rise buildings have as children all played with Lego bricks. 🏢 🏢 🏢 🏗 😁😁😁
You're not the first person to have described my old neighborhood that way.. ;-)
when you buy apartment here you don't buy property, you buy shares of co-op. Do they give a deed as evidence you have bought an apartment? can you sell it to the other person?
You get a stock certificate for the shares you have purchased and no you cannot sell it to another person. Once you leave, it goes back to the management company (Riverbay) and you will receive the price you originally paid for the apartment, minus 3 months rent and any damages identified in the apartment.
Ahhhhh, so that is vy moya Babushka 👵 liked the Co-op City 👍
When u see ur building in a RUclips vid
A pity you couldn't find someone who would show you one of the apartments.
Maybe one day!
haven't been in coop city in years
You've done a great job showing this, Sergey.
I use to live there matter of fact most of my family did at one point section 1 stand up
Wow your awesome doing all this and not being from here..
On the former site of Freedomland
Ayeeee the hood 👌🏽 😂 congratulations for surviving! Funny how I could see myself on my balcony in this video lmfaooo
VoicelessEMO360 not the hood...
@@cool_scorpio2588 Upper class Hood. Believe me I know I lived there from 1996 to 2017.
Classix I mean I guess because I live their right now
Cool_Scorpio def not the hood. South Bronx that’s the hood
I was just saying “aye the hood” as in “oh shit my hood” or “look! my neighborhood” or as in “aye what’s up hood”. Everyone calls there neighborhood the hood for short lol sheesh
You show us things in our own country we've never seen
At 3:43 I hate when the bus have that sign.
My home. ❤ Born and raised there. Went to school there. 🙏
Awesome video
lmao I live there😂😂😂
How is the crime rate ?
I saw my apartment!!!!
Where are all the people?
Stalin - As I grew up there, I can tell you that it this video was probably shot early in the day, probably on a Sunday morning, when things are quieter there. Also, it's not like being in Manhattan. Co-op City is in the farthest northeast section of NYC, in the borough of the Bronx. Again, as you can see from the video, there is a lot of green space, and people are not crowded in, like in other parts of the city.
gasaholic47 Looks like a nice area. 8-)
marscont ...You may say i'm a dreamer...but i'm not the only one...8-)
After school and during the week there are other people
Don't mean to b dumb...but is coop city like the projects of yester year?
No. The exterior of the buildings usually give way to that assumption, but it's not at all like the projects (especially its interior). It's for true middle class, blue collar workers (rent controlled). It actually had a majority of Jewish residents back then.
And on top of that, residents own stocks of their apartment
It is absolutely a middle class neighborhood. It is very well maintained and has incredible views of the neighboring waterways and even Manhattan if you live on a high floor in some buildings. Do not mix it up with regular "projects" you may see on TV about poor areas in NYC.
its Co op city with a break between them
Hey... one of those buildings are mine
Out of curiosity are you making a Russian Vlog for your peeps back home?
lol I live in Co-Op City, Section 1 😅
2:16 I LIVE OVER THERE!
I live there
Growing up upstate we used to take the hutch to the Whitestone to see my grandparents in Queens. I used to wonder what those all buildings were, and I assumed they were the projects. I would wonder why the projects were so tall. After watching this now I know it basically is the projects, except the resident's own their apartments.
is this public housing ? if it is then the local and federal government subsidise the rents. the rents are modest for such a large city. that is why there is a cap on income.
Olivia Gomez No they are Coops. Coops are privately owned.
Looks like identical Cheriomushki in every single city in Russia
1:01 Haha I live in that red building Debs Place
How do you get this app I really want 4 bedrooms pl reply me thanks
4 bedrooms?!! Theres no 4 bedroom apartments in Co-op! 😂
@@sheem.2450 really ok 🙏🙏🙏
Here in Canada I used to live somewhere like that at one point too. My neighbor was a coke dealer and I called the cops on him once and got arrested! Good times...The not so good times was when I got kicked in the face by an arab guy while I was sitting on a bench waiting for my bus! You will find misery and nice things everywhere you travel.
ha! work on it , come to san diego
AYYY MY SCHOOL MY HOOD I DEAD LIVE THERE
that's cool idea about untypical america
i moscow looks better and beautiful
You should go at night
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷👍👍👍💕💕💕
nice looking place.must be a federal fund. where you have a pool or exersise or anything nice you need to figure out how to live there false papers. high rent for people that make little money for real job. doesnt balance out. high rent low income? people that live in regular places have no cool stuff at all. just older and run down places. that is in virginia. you say how can these people with no real job have nice new place and we work all the time and live in old place..i know some of those other people. it is not good.
Co-op City, as it was originally conceived and still is, is for lower middle, and middle income families.It was built and funded in part by a piece of legislation back in the 60's in New York State known as the Mitchell-Lama Act. There are other housing developments in NYC that were built under the same act, but none as big as Co-op City. As I told Sergey, I grew up in Co-op City, and my mother still lives there.
I’ve lived here.... unfortunately.
Kool place to be The Projects.. all the Drug Dealers and their customers saw the camera and started hiding...
Co-op City is NOT a project! Projects are run by NYC, Co-op is a private housing development. I grew up there so I know what I'm talking about. Does that mean it doesn't have its own problems? Of course not, but it's not anywhere near as the problems that are faced in city housing projects.
gasaholic47 you don't have to be a jerk about it
John Arnold Hey, he was bein' New Yawk nyce. If he wanted to be a joyk, you'd know. Waddya lookin at?
John Arnold - What the fuck are you talking about? I'm giving him an explanation of my old neighborhood.
Angus - Yeah, pray you never need one you fucking putz.
Do you still have your wallet and camera??
iamverycrazy lmaaooo
The people in Co-op City aren't like that.
Lousy comment. Do you even know this area? Have you ever been to Co-op City?
God Almighty, Sergey. Get out of New York City! A lot of Americans consider NYC like the Danzig corridor, not even part of the United States. Go to a place in "fly over country" where Americans actually love their country and volunteer for the military.
tokenjoy you haven't been to many American cities haven't you. Most American cities are far worse like Chicago Detroit Philadelphia Newark Memphis and Baltimore just to name a couple
Been to all of them. Went to school in Philly. Liberals/Progressives have ruined many of them.
