Quail Ridge Residents Scramble After Apartments Are Purchased for Redevelopment
from 27Speaks · host The Express News Group
The tenants of Quail Ridge — the two dozen studio and one-bedroom apartments spread over two buildings of a former motel along County Road 39 in Shinnecock Hills — typically pay less than $1,500 a month in rent, some considerably less. The apartments are not luxurious, and as former summer resort “efficiencies” they are not large. But they are fine, residents say, and they are affordable for employees of swimming pool and landscaping companies, delivery truck drivers or those living on a fixed Social Security income. That is about to change. Reporter Michael Wright joins the editors on the podcast to discuss the fate of Quail Ridge and the growing difficulty in finding affordable housing on the South Fork.
