Dutchgate sits over on Dutch Broadway in Valley Stream, NY, ZIP code 11580, in Nassau County and it's a condominium set up as a 55+ community that started offering homes back in 2010 or 2013, plenty new with upgraded units and that's about how most of it looks-new construction, nothing old or worn out. There are fifteen units left, though the whole place is permanently closed now, so nothing's currently for sale or for rent, but that's how these things go sometimes, and it's worth knowing the details if Dutchgate ever opens doors again or if you're just looking at places in the area. The property covers about 1.17 acres and is a type that falls under both condominium and single-family home, which leads to some confusion, but in many condo setups, it's like a cluster of homes sharing common spaces.
Residents had their own units, generally with one bedroom and two bathrooms, and the layout stays practical-efficiency kitchens, a combined living and dining area (LR/DR), and a total of about five rooms inside, which means there's enough space without feeling crowded. There are no basements; the basement space is none or unfinished, so you don't get anything like storage or rec rooms underground. Each unit comes with main household appliances like a refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, and dryer, and they made sure to put in private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, cable TV, and air conditioning for comfort. Some places have a private in-ground pool as well as an outdoor pool, and the outdoor amenities include a clubhouse that's used plenty, and for those who like a bit of activity, a fitness center and planned events fill the days. There's a library, an arts room, a billiards room, and movie room, so folks could have their hobbies right on site.
Dutchgate makes space for pets, but you'd have to call for more details. There's a focus on accessibility, shown by features like wheelchair ramps, stair lifts, and even specialized bathroom tools if needed. They offer various care options like independent living, assisted living, memory support, and sometimes skilled nursing, so people could age in place if they wanted, and supervision's around the clock with 24-hour doormen and a superintendent, with emergency call systems in units. Dining options look like a mix of a main dining room and restaurant-style meals, plus there's accommodation for allergies, diabetes, and other special meal needs. Housewives and staff help with chores, laundry, move-in, and general support.
Location's handy to both parks and shopping, with nearby bus access, and the management company plus homeowner association keep the property in shape, handling any buying, selling, or renting-though again, it's currently off market. Annual taxes hover around $605, and they used to have open model homes daily before closing, probably from 10 am to 4:30 pm, and legal protections apply for all residents, including those who identify as LGBTQ. In terms of safety, a 24-hour system keeps everyone connected, and those who need memory care or help with things like bathing, medication, or dressing could get it, including special programs or activities, and the staff's there to help as needed. Dutchgate functions mainly as a senior living condominium with resort-style community amenities, a manageable list of services, and practical living arrangements meant for people wanting to stay social, safe, and engaged in their later years.
