Thinking Of Selling Your Country Club Gardens Or Fisherman's Wharf Co-Op? Selling your West Babylon co-op is easy when you not only hire a local agent, but an agent that knows the intricate details behind selling a co-op. I know what both boards require at Country Club Gardens and Fisherman's Wharf. Probably better than most shareholders do. I also lived at Fisherman's Wharf for 6 years and know the development layout very well. I wrote a post that was geared to buying a co-op in West Babylon but you may find it helpful for when you are ready to sell: West Babylon Co-ops: The Steps Taken Before Getting To The Closing Table Country Club Gardens Co-ops In West Babylon Real Estate Market Report Fisherman's Wharf West Babylon Real Estate Market Report Remember, selling your West Babylon Co-...

Villa Rosa Pizzeria & Restaurant West Babylon NY - The Best Food In Town! Villa Rosa Pizzeria & Restaurant makes their food fresh daily. Diego, the owner, only uses the finest ingredients. They have a large selection of specialty pizzas like white, ziti, grandma's, sicilian and my son's favorite: ravioli pizza. Diego uses the Ala Vodka sauce on that...yum! My favorite is the Calzone. Diego uses the best Ricotta cheese and is very creamy. He uses more cheese than dough to make these. It's the best I've ever had! I have watched Diego create his food and he's very meticulous. He takes his time. It's as if he's creating a work of art. The service there is wonderful. When you stop by, say hello to the ladies there. They all work very hard and always have a smile on their faces! Keep in mind...
