410 E Broadway in Long Beach, NY is known as The Sherwood House. This Co-Op building was built in 1965. The building has 7 floors and has recently gone through a beautiful renovation. Upon entering the building, the first thing that i notice is the state of the art security system which is a touch screen and is extremely easy to use. It offers a few different languages and it is very easy to navigate to find the unit you are searching for. It allows you to call multiple numbers and the homeowners can actually buzz in their guests even from a cell phone.   The renovation that was completed last year was done quite tastefully.
