Things are beginning to look up. Finally, there are some choices and some properties available in Interlaken Gardens and Channing Place, Eastchester, NY. Both these communities are cooperative apartments that are built on Lake Innisfree (Lake Isle) and share a private beach with lifeguards, swimming, boating, playgrounds, basketball court and less than 30 minutes to Grand Central Station from the Crestwood Train Station.

It has been very quiet with very few listings for the past two years. It looks like things are beginning to come back to life. There are two listings in Channing Place, both are two bedrooms and two bathrooms and are priced between $399,000 and $459,000.

Interlaken Gardens has 14 active listings. Great choices available on both first and second floors. There are five one bedroom apartments from $199,000 to $249,999; seven two bedroom apartments from $275,000 to $399,900; one 3 bedroom/2 bath apartment and one 3 bedroom/3 bath apartment both priced at $499,000.

I am a resident expert on Lake Isle. It is one of Westchester's best kept secrets. It may be time to discover the communities surrounding Lake Innisfree (Lake Isle) for you and your family. Choose between these two cooperative complexes Interlaken Gardens and Channing Place, or single family ownership at the Townhouses at Lake Isle or Lake Isle Estates.
