Boulevard Gardens is a six-story mid‑20th century apartment complex constructed in 1936 and set across more than eleven acres of landscaped grounds. The property is composed primarily of two‑bedroom and one‑bedroom rental units (studios appear in listings as well) configured with eat‑in kitchens, windowed baths, hardwood floors and oversized windows that provide abundant natural light. Interior finishes commonly noted include granite or quartz counters, wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, chandeliers in select units and occasional soaking tubs; many units have been renovated while others remain in original condition. Common areas and services emphasize family convenience and building management: multiple laundry rooms, an on‑site management office, a live‑in superintendent and assistant, security services, elevators and a library. Outdoor amenities take advantage of the grounds and are geared to families and social use, including a landscaped picnic area with benches, a children’s playground with sprinkler pool and an indoor rainy‑day playroom. Additional practical features include bicycle and personal storage, organized parking subject to a waiting list, and smoke‑free policies for units. Situated on the Woodside–Astoria border, the complex is two blocks from the R and M subway lines, near multiple bus routes and offers a roughly 15–20 minute commute into midtown Manhattan, with neighborhood access to schools, shops, cafés and supermarkets.
