32-42 89th St

A low-rise cooperative constructed in 1952, this six-story building offers primarily one-bedroom residences configured around practical, midcentury layouts. Exteriors are modest and utilitarian, with masonry facades and a scale that fits the surrounding East Elmhurst streetscape. Units typically feature eat-in kitchens, granite counters in some renovated apartments, hardwood floors, abundant closet space and multiple windows that provide natural light; ceiling fans are common and some apartments include updated appliances and renovated bathrooms. Shared building elements include an elevator, on-site laundry room, secure entry with a live-in superintendent, and a private courtyard for residents. Additional resident conveniences are storage options and a garage with a waiting list for parking; one assigned parking spot may be available for those on a list. The co-op’s policies are representative of older cooperative regimes: moderate downpayment and income requirements, restrictions on dogs and subletting in some offerings, and maintenance that often covers all utilities (heating, water, gas, electric) along with taxes. Located near Northern Boulevard on the East Elmhurst–Jackson Heights edge, the building sits within walking distance of multiple bus lines, nearby 7 train access, shops, restaurants and neighborhood schools, offering quick access into central Queens and Manhattan.
