Alden & Ralegh is a small, six-story pre-war cooperative completed in 1939–1940 that reads as a compact colonial-style residence in Forest Hills. The masonry facade and modest exterior details conceal an interior with classic prewar character: high ceilings, original woodwork, crown moldings, archways, and hardwood floors. Units are primarily one-bedroom configurations plus various studios, many with sunken living rooms, formal foyers, and built-in features. Kitchens range from renovated eat-in layouts with islands and granite counters to efficient separate kitchens; bathrooms have been updated in many apartments. Common areas include an art-deco influenced lobby, elegant hallways with marble window sills and wainscoting, a recently upgraded elevator and a mailbox area. Building services and policies are conventional for a co-op of this vintage: low maintenance charges reported, oil-based heating, and a history of attentive upkeep. Exterior amenities are minimal; parking is not provided on-site. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street, the property sits between the 71st/Continental and 75th Avenue E/F express subway stops, within steps of Austin Street’s shops, restaurants, LIRR access, schools and nearby parks, offering a blend of residential calm and neighborhood convenience.
