290 Atlantic Ave

The Crescent is a low-rise, three-story cooperative built in 1961 and comprised of 42 units offering one- and two-bedroom layouts. The exterior presents a modest post-war residential scale set within well-manicured grounds and an outdoor patio; the property includes surface parking and an indoor garage with a waitlist for spots. Interiors range from original-era units to recently renovated apartments featuring eat-in and galley kitchens with granite counters, kitchen islands in select homes, high ceilings, formal dining areas, and first-floor bedroom options. Common areas are clearly prioritized: a staffed lobby with intercom entry and elevator access, a renovated lobby (2016), fitness gym, community/party room, on-site superintendent, bike and storage rooms, and laundry facilities on every floor. Practical conveniences such as a trash chute, building camera security, and dedicated storage bins for each unit are part of the offering. Maintenance covers major utilities including heat, water and, in many cases, taxes and gas; co-op rules require a 20% minimum down payment for purchases and restrict open houses. The Crescent’s location places it adjacent to the Centre Avenue LIRR station, within walking distance of shops, schools, houses of worship, and local beaches, supporting a commuter-oriented, neighborhood lifestyle.
