Commack Real Estate: It's More Than Just a New Home

By Craig Axelrod

When looking at real estate in Commack New York, you want to find the perfect new house. New construction in Commack, such as new homes built by Emmy houses, you the chance to have a brand-house with beautiful layout that no family has lived in before.

More than just a new home, when you live in Commack it is a community. Located in the suburbs of Long Island, homes in Commack give you and your family great schools and a strong sense of community. With many parks, golfing, restaurants and beautiful property, Commack NY should be one of the towns on your shortlist.

When you purchase a house in Commack, you have a tremendous number of choices. There are more than 100 restaurants, a dozen parks, museums, and many activities for the family. Whether you like movies, bowling, sports, shopping or outdoor activities, the choices are yours.

Within the town, there are many local communities. Manorwood Estates in Commack, a new development by Emmy new houses, offers a range of choices from 3200 to 4000 sq.ft. with a variety of floor plans. Whether you're looking for a classic design, open layouts or traditional designs, you'll find many options available. On 1 acre parcels, these homes were spacious inside and out.

As you look a Commack property, ask yourself these 5 things:

1. is this a house layout or an old new home? Many older homes have smaller rooms lower ceilings, lacking that open house feel.

2. Does the kitchen need to be renovated? This can cost $50,000 or more; with new construction, you have the brand-house of your dreams built into the price of the new home.

3. Does the home have enough bedrooms? Most people want at least one extra room for future family growth, visitors or a home office. Make sure you don't limit yourself with your purchase.

4. How big is the basement? 20 years ago, people used their cellar for storage. Today, many people can pick up up to 2000 extra sq.ft. of living space by finishing their basement. Ideally, you have high ceilings (8 to 9 feet) with as few low hanging duct work and piping as possible. Some new houses designed 20 years prior had high ceilings but duct work and other items hung from the ceiling throughout the basement, creating a maze that people are required to navigate around.

5. Do you like the neighbors? You will be living there, so be sure these are the people you want on your block.

As you choose your new home, keep in mind-you're buying a house, not just the house. Make sure that you choose your house in Commack - or any other area - that is a home you will be happy in.
