The Betsy Ross

The Betsy Ross is a six-story cooperative building constructed in 1948 that combines mid-century scale with successive interior renovations. Units range from studios and one-bedrooms to two- and three-bedroom layouts; many feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, formal dining areas, foyer or office niches, and traditional elements such as crown molding. Typical interiors show updated kitchens with granite counters, tiled baths and marble details, open or eat-in kitchen configurations, and practical built-ins like walk-in closets and ceiling fans. Common areas include an upgraded lobby, elevator service, an on-site superintendent, a courtyard and a small outdoor seating area, plus shared facilities such as a 24-hour laundry room, storage rooms, and a bike room. Parking is offered via an indoor garage with a waitlist in addition to ample street parking. The cooperative’s maintenance package commonly includes heat, water, trash collection and taxes; board approval is required for purchases and some listings cite restrictions on investors and pets. Located in Jamaica, Queens, the building is within walking distance of E and F train stations and local buses, with nearby shopping, schools and highway access supporting everyday errands and commuting.
