The Balfour is a six-story cooperative built in 1956 that offers primarily one- and three-bedroom residence layouts across a low-rise, elevator-served structure. Architecturally straightforward for mid‑century Queens housing, the building retains original interior details in many units — natural woodwork, formal dining areas, entrance foyers, and high ceilings — while also showcasing incremental modern upgrades such as recessed lighting, quartz and granite counters, and updated electrical systems. Common indoor features include a staffed 24-hour doorman desk, live‑in superintendent, multiple laundry rooms, storage rooms, bicycle room, and a recently refreshed fitness center with Wi‑Fi and AC. Exterior amenities focus on landscaped outdoor living: a park‑like garden, patio with seating, a private dog run, and gas grills; limited private outdoor spaces are available from some units. Building services and systems have been updated in recent years with new elevators, new apartment windows throughout, resurfaced roof, new boilers, and extensive waterproofing. On-site parking is provided via an indoor garage with a waitlist and electric vehicle charging stations. The co-op is pet-friendly (typically up to two pets under 40 lbs), offers building‑link package notifications, and has FIOS/Spectrum/RCN readiness. Located a half block from Queens Boulevard, the property is a short walk to multiple subway lines (E/F express, R/M, LIRR) and Austin Street retail, providing convenient commuter access and neighborhood shopping and dining.
