contents Refining an argument of the second author, we improve the known bounds for the number of rational points near a submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^d$ of intermediate dimension under a natural curvature condition. Furthermore, in the codimension $2$ case we formulate a conjecture concerning this count. The conjecture is motivated in part by interpreting certain codimension $2$ submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^{2m+2}$ as complex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}^{m+1}$ and using the complex structure to provide a natural reformulation of the curvature condition. Finally, we provide further evidence for the conjecture by proving a natural variant for $n \geq 2$ in which rationals are replaced with Gaussian rationals.
