104 S Vlg Ave

A low-rise prewar cooperative completed in 1932, this three-story masonry building occupies a park-like site in Hempstead near village centers and transit. Units are primarily one-bedroom layouts with a variety of footprints including studio conversions, split-level one-bed/loft plans, and some two-room configurations. Interiors show classic prewar detail: high ceilings, hardwood floors, crown moldings, formal entry foyers, and original architectural arches paired with updated kitchens and bathrooms in many residences. Kitchens range from eat-in arrangements with granite counters and stainless appliances to efficient kitchenette layouts; some homes include washer/dryer hookups or combo units. Common areas are modest but well maintained — an elevator serves upper floors, there is on-site laundry, storage rooms, and a communal roof terrace accessed from upper units. Grounds are landscaped with greenery and offer rear access to municipal parking and a building-managed garage waitlist for covered spaces. Pet and co-op policies vary by unit and board; maintenance commonly covers heat, water and property taxes. The building’s setting emphasizes walkability to nearby shops, restaurants, parks, and the Long Island Rail Road, delivering a prewar aesthetic with a range of modernized apartment options and practical building amenities.
