172-70 Highland Ave

A mid-century, nine-story cooperative constructed in 1960, this brick-and-concrete building occupies a residential block in Jamaica, Queens. Units are primarily studios and one-bedrooms, many featuring large windows, concrete floors or hardwood upgrades, efficiency kitchens or eat-in arrangements, and layouts that include dining areas or foyer entries. Common elements include a staffed front desk/doorman, full-time superintendent, elevator service, on-site laundry, package/mail facilities, and exterior lighting. The property offers limited on-site parking (typically available for purchase at closing), storage options, and a building-level security camera system. Typical maintenance packages reported by listings often roll heat and water into monthly charges; some apartments allow subletting after a set ownership period and enforce a minimum down payment. The block-level location is residential and walkable, with nearby shopping, restaurants, schools, houses of worship, bus lines, and rapid transit (notably the F train at 179th Street and other local subway access), making daily errands and commuting accessible. Pet policies and exact guest/board rules vary by unit and co-op board; prospective buyers should confirm renovation allowances, financing requirements, and any assessments with management prior to contract.
