Dara Gardens is a mid-century, six-story cooperative complex built in 1952 and organized as a gated community in the Kew Gardens Hills / Flushing corridor. The property contains primarily one- and two-bedroom residences with layouts that emphasize practical living — eat-in and open kitchens, formal dining areas in some units, first-floor bedroom/bath options, and multiple closets including walk-in configurations. Interior finishes vary by unit but commonly include hardwood or wood-look floors, granite or maple counters, updated cabinetry and fixtures, and abundant natural light from dual exposures in many apartments. Shared facilities are centered on resident convenience and family life: a large gated courtyard and maintained garden, enclosed playground, recreation/community room, on-site laundry, bike room, and storage units (fee-based). Building operations feature 24-hour security at the gate, a live-in superintendent, resident plumber/handyman, and elevator access. Parking is available via deeded garage spaces or building-managed parking (garage spots are scarce and historically command separate premiums). The co-op is pet friendly with small-pet limits and permits subletting after two years. Located near multiple bus lines and subway access, the development is within walking distance of Queens College and local schools, neighborhood shopping, and restaurants, supporting a commuter-friendly, family-oriented lifestyle.
