Mainstay Cooperative Section 1

Mainstay Cooperative Section 1 is a six-story, mid-20th-century cooperative built in 1954 that offers one- to three-bedroom layouts across a low-rise footprint. The masonry-faced structure follows a traditional apartment-block plan with double-loaded corridors served by an elevator and stairwells. Apartment interiors commonly exhibit period and updated finishes: hardwood floors, natural woodwork, crown molding, chandeliers and multiple formal living/dining arrangements; kitchen types range from galley and eat-in layouts to renovated units with granite or marble counters and stainless steel appliances. Storage is generous at both the unit and building level—large closets, walk-in options and dedicated storage rooms are typical. Shared facilities are practical and family-oriented, including a laundry room, bicycle room, indoor and outdoor parking, a storage room, a rumpus area, and a private playground and outdoor sitting area. The cooperative enforces an owner-occupancy policy with no subletting permitted; maintenance fees frequently include all utilities (heat, hot water, gas, electricity) and some units carry modest additional charges for parking or AC. Located in Flushing, the building sits within walking distance of Queens College, local schools (including Townsend Harris High School), shops, supermarkets, houses of worship and multiple bus routes, with easy access to highways for regional travel. The overall character is residential and community-focused, catering to long-term owners seeking a well-maintained, service-inclusive cooperative in a transit- and school-rich neighborhood.
