Roosevelt Terrace is a mid-century, 9-story cooperative built in 1955 and composed primarily of one- and two-bedroom residences. The structure’s concrete construction and thick floor slabs emphasize fire resistance and sound insulation; many units feature high ceilings, hardwood or wide-plank floors, and classical prewar proportions adapted through later renovations. Typical apartment interiors include open or eat-in kitchens with granite or marble counters, breakfast bars, generous closet storage and entrance foyers; select homes offer private terraces or small balconies, substantial walk-in closets, and master suites located on the lower level of duplex-style layouts. Common areas are full-service and resident-focused: an elevator, basement laundry room, on-site management with a live-in superintendent, evening security, porters and maintenance staff. Shared amenities include an enclosed children’s playground, community/game room, bike storage, garage and outdoor parking (fee), storage bins (fee), and cogeneration utilities that help keep maintenance costs inclusive of heat, hot water and some utilities. The coop is managed with owner-occupancy restrictions (no subletting) and a pet policy requiring board approval. Located in the historic Jackson Heights neighborhood, the building sits near the #7 subway and other transit links to Manhattan, blocks from 37th Avenue’s retail corridor and a wide range of restaurants and services. The setting is neighborhood-oriented and ethnically diverse, offering convenient access to schools, grocery options and a pedestrian-friendly commercial strip while providing a quieter, community-minded residential environment.
