21-57 33Rd St

A low-rise cooperative built in 1923, the five-story masonry building occupies a block-neighboring position near Ditmars Boulevard in Astoria. Its mix of one- and three-bedroom apartments reflects incremental updates over time: original hardwood floors and exposed brick coexist with renovated kitchens featuring granite counters and stainless-steel appliances. Shared elements include an elevator, decorative chandeliers in some units, ceiling fans, and ground-level landscaped courtyard gardens that provide a green common area and laundry facilities. The property operates with co-op governance and a live-in superintendent; select units are sponsor offerings or conversion-era shares with tenant protections. Building services vary by listing but often cover heat, cooking gas and water within maintenance fees. Pet-friendly policies are commonly permitted and subletting allowances tend to be flexible, with several units allowing sublets after limited residency periods or immediately for sponsor units. Street and limited on-site parking options are typical of the neighborhood rather than proprietary garages. The location places residents within easy walking distance of the Ditmars N/Q transit hub, neighborhood retail and restaurants, Astoria Park, and waterfront cultural sites, supporting a transit-oriented, community-focused urban lifestyle.
