The Alden

The Alden is a six-story prewar co-op in Forest Hills, New York, completed in 1940 and composed primarily of two-bedroom apartment configurations and junior variations. The masonry facade and interior corridors reflect classic 1940s styling; common areas including a recently renovated lobby and hallways retain period details such as archways and high ceilings while featuring updated finishes. Units commonly offer sunken living rooms, formal dining or eat-in kitchens with granite or quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, walk-in closets and primary bathrooms; many residences show contemporary renovations blended with original prewar character. Building services include an elevator, on-site superintendent, on-premises laundry facilities and individual mailboxes. Policies are typical of longtime co-op ownerships with low monthly maintenance noted in listings and flexibility for subletting subject to board approval and term conditions. The Alden’s location places it within a short walk of the Forest Hills transit hub: E, F, R and M subway lines and the LIRR, plus Austin Street retail, restaurants, schools such as P.S. 196, and neighborhood green spaces, supporting a commuter-friendly, urban-residential lifestyle.
