The Concord is a six-story pre-war cooperative built in 1939 and comprising roughly 120 units, predominantly one-bedroom and studio layouts arranged around a gracious central lobby. Its exterior presents traditional masonry proportions typical of late-1930s residential blocks; interiors retain original pre-war details such as hardwood parquet floors, high ceilings, archways and oversized windows while many apartments have been updated with contemporary kitchens and baths. Common areas include an elegant main lobby, landscaped private courtyard and community garden, plus a building storage room and bike room (both often wait-listed). Resident services emphasize on-site support: a live-in superintendent and porter oversee maintenance, and the building operates an elevator, card-operated laundry, a modernized package/virtual doorman system and building-level waste/disposal facilities. Practical conveniences include separate storage and bike facilities, periodic capital projects (window replacements and landscaping improvements noted), and FiOS internet service. The co-op’s pet policy is restrictive (cats commonly permitted; dogs generally not allowed) and subletting is possible under the house rules. Located in central Astoria near Broadway and 30th Avenue, the property offers immediate access to N/Q subway service, ferry and multiple bus routes, plus nearby cultural destinations like Socrates Sculpture Park and The Noguchi Museum.
