213-02 73Rd Ave

A mid-20th-century, low-rise cooperative complex built in 1955 comprising six stories of primarily one- and two-bedroom residences. The architecture is straightforward postwar residential block design with brick façades, regular window bays and modest set-backs that create a park-like footprint across the development. Interiors typically include eat-in kitchens, formal dining areas or combined living/dining rooms, hardwood floors, and some units offering first-floor bedroom or master-downstairs layouts; many listings note renovated kitchens, high ceilings in select units, and elevator access serving all floors. Shared grounds emphasize recreation and family use: an Olympic-size pool, tennis courts, playgrounds, open lawns and a basketball court appear throughout the property along with walking paths and landscaped common areas. Building services and conveniences include 24-hour security, laundry facilities, assigned parking for many units, and recently upgraded systems such as a new elevator, intercom/camera entry and fitness facilities. The cooperative’s maintenance often bundles heat, water and taxes; subletting and flip-tax policies are regulated by coop rules. Located in Oakland Gardens near Bell Boulevard, the complex is close to express buses and local transit, schools, shopping, parks and community services, supporting a suburban-but-connected lifestyle.
