At $2,187 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of East Meadow commands. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $128,269.
