1 Station Sq

A six-story cooperative built in 1930, this prewar block sits at the historic heart of Forest Hills Gardens’ Station Square. The property is composed primarily of small units—studios and one-bedroom plans including a few duplexes—and retains original architectural details such as high ceilings, oversized windows, and classic moldings in many residences. Shared interior features include eat-in kitchens in some units, elevator service, communal storage and updated laundry rooms; an on-site superintendent handles day-to-day building needs. Outside, residents have access to a semi-private terrace shared among a few units and a private garden that provides green space within the development. The building’s management structure is cooperative, with maintenance that commonly bundles utilities (gas, electricity, water) and flexible policies including subletting after two years, parents buying for children, and pet-friendly rules. Practical conveniences include bicycle storage and on-street parking available to village residents for an annual fee. The property’s immediate surroundings are a dense, walkable village center—restaurants, shops and transit (LIRR and multiple subway lines) are steps away—making the building a blend of historic character and commuter convenience within Forest Hills Gardens.
