A midcentury six-story cooperative complex completed in 1958, Dara Gardens reads as a low-rise, garden-style residential community clustered around landscaped courtyards. Units are primarily studios, one- and two-bedroom co-op apartments configured with eat-in or open kitchens, formal dining areas in some layouts, and traditional floorplans that often place the primary bedroom on the main level. Interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, granite counters in renovated kitchens, full bathrooms and built-in closets; many units receive strong southern exposure. The property is gated and staffed with a live-in superintendent and 24-hour security; shared conveniences include on-site laundry, a community room, storage lockers, bicycle storage and an outdoor children’s playground. Resident parking and an underground garage are offered (garage spaces can be purchased separately), mailboxes and low-rise service infrastructure complete the package. The building permits pets and has conservative co-op rules: subletting allowed after two years and no flip tax noted. Located in central Flushing, the development sits within walking distance of supermarkets, pharmacies, multiple bus lines, nearby schools (including PS 165, Townsend Harris, and Queens College), Kissena Park and Queens Botanical Garden, supporting a suburban-urban lifestyle with easy transit access to wider Queens and Manhattan.
