Seven Mile Market - supposedly the largest kosher supermarket in the country.

Market Maven (formerly Seasons) - great prices for meat and chicken, also good place for shabbos food

Airbnb in the frum community:
Eruv Inn
Edelweiss - Located about 15 minutes from the frum community, practically next door to Ateres Elka wedding hall

To be brief, Bancroft village is all young couples, mostly more yeshivish.  It's also on the worse side of town.  Heather ridge is much larger and a much greater variety of people.  Among the young couples that I know there, they are mostly less yeshivish.

Thats perfect. Thank you. Is The Towers near Heather Ridge "picking up"? Are there people moving into there? There doesn't seem to be anything available in Heather Ridge at the moment.

One thing to note about the towers is that officially you are not allowed to sublease

That is an untruth. I live in the towers and it was recently implemented in the bi laws that you are allowed to lease.... And yes it is picking up more young couples, mostly in the non yeshivish crowd...

There's no availability in the Towers right now either.  Also, with the current assessment condo fees are near $700/month.

Granted, I live in Lakewood, so our ideas of "yeshivish" may be different.  But, I disagree with calling Bancroft Village "mostly yeshivish".  I have stayed there a number of times, and did not get that impression at all.  Just as an example, I think I may have been the only non-Shabbos hat wearer that I saw.  Colored shirts were plentiful, etc.

eta - and maybe "mostly" young couples, but not "all" - I know there are at least one or two families with (newly) married children.

That's why I said "more" yeshivish, as we were comparing it to Heather Ridge.

This whole discussion is ridiculous, since the definition is so subjective. Why don't you come check it out and see for yourself

But I think the OP's main point is that BV is more 'frum' than HR.  For someone who may be more hashkafically leaning one way or the other, that could be important.
