The Hampshire is a six-story prewar cooperative in Forest Hills, built in 1938 and composed predominantly of one-bedroom residences. The exterior presents traditional masonry and setback massing common to neighborhood apartment houses; many units are corner layouts with multiple exposures. Interiors retain original prewar character—arched doorways, high/cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors and generous foyer space—while many suites have been renovated with modern kitchens, granite counters and upgraded baths. The building provides elevator access, a live-in superintendent, laundry room, bike storage and limited additional storage for a fee. A landscaped private courtyard serves as the principal outdoor common area; select apartments include private outdoor spaces over 60 sq ft. Cooperative policies are owner-friendly relative to some peers: pets and sublets are permitted with board approval (sublets typically allowed after a year), there is no flip tax on many offerings, and financing up to roughly 80% may be available. Located on a residential block near Austin Street and both 75th Avenue and Forest Hills–71st Avenue subway stations, the Hampshire sits within a dense retail corridor and close to transit, schools and LIRR service, reflecting a commuter-oriented, village-like Forest Hills setting.
