140-55 Burden Crescent

A low-rise residential coop built in 1953, the six-story property comprises predominantly one-bedroom homes alongside occasional larger units. The exterior presents a mid-20th-century, brick-faced profile typical of postwar Queens apartment houses; entrances lead into a modest lobby with an elevator serving all floors. Unit interiors emphasize practical layouts—eat-in kitchens, living/dining combinations, hardwood floors, plentiful closets, and large windows that provide cross-ventilation and natural light. Building services are straightforward: on-site laundry in the lobby, an elevator, and a wait-listed parking option rather than dedicated garage spaces. Maintenance packages frequently include utilities such as cooking gas, and the coop’s resale and sublet rules allow short-term flexibility after an initial ownership period. Pet policies and concierge services are not prominent; property management appears focused on upkeep and affordability rather than luxury. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street in the Briarwood/Jamaica neighborhood, the building sits within walking distance of E and F subway service and several bus routes, with local shops, libraries, and schools nearby. The overall character is value-oriented, well-maintained, and suited to buyers seeking modest, light-filled homes in a transit-accessible Queens neighborhood.
