Dara Gardens is a mid-rise, six-story cooperative complex built in 1952 in Flushing. The development is organized around landscaped courtyards and gardens framed by masonry buildings with practical, postwar proportions. Units are primarily studios and one-bedroom apartments, with larger sponsor listings occasionally offering two- and three-bedroom layouts; many residences feature vaulted or cathedral ceilings, eat-in or galley kitchens, and generous closet space. Common interior touches across units include ceiling fans, granite counters in renovated kitchens, and some first-floor bedroom/bath configurations. Shared facilities are focused on everyday convenience and community life: a staffed gated entrance with 24-hour security, on-site super, basement laundry room, bike room, mailboxes, a community room, and a children’s playground. Parking is available but managed by waitlist or sold separately; the property provides indoor garage spaces in some offerings. The coop allows pets (subject to weight limits) and permits subletting after a holding period, with a straightforward sponsor-lease pathway for certain units that bypass board approval. Located within walking distance of Main Street commerce, supermarkets, pharmacies, public transit, and Vleigh Playground, Dara Gardens sits near Flushing Meadows Corona Park and offers easy access to major highways and express buses to Manhattan. The overall character is residential and family-oriented, emphasizing secure, gardened grounds and practical amenities for daily urban living.
