26-16 Union St

A six-story cooperative building constructed in 1952, this midrise exemplifies postwar residential stock found throughout Flushing. The block-scale structure contains predominantly one-bedroom apartments alongside a range of larger owner-occupied units; many residences offer eat-in kitchens, formal dining areas, and primary bathrooms configured on the main level. Interiors typically feature hardwood or bamboo floors, granite counters in updated units, ample closet storage and efficient windowed kitchens. Common spaces include an elevator, laundry room, bike room, storage areas, and a modest on-site gym. Outdoors there is limited parking with immediately available outdoor spots for a small monthly fee, plus an adjacent playground and outdoor sitting area for residents. Maintenance fees historically have been comprehensive, covering heat, water, gas and often electricity, with additional small charges for air-conditioning or dishwasher usage. The building enforces owner-occupancy rules and occasional coop resale terms, and offers conveniences such as on-site management, proximity to neighborhood services and easy access to multiple bus lines and express service to Manhattan. Located near shopping, library, post office and schools, the property presents a well-maintained, community-oriented living environment typical of North Flushing.
