37-51 86Th St

A mid-rise, postwar brick co-op built in 1955, the six-story property offers primarily one-bedroom layouts and a handful of studios designed for efficient city living. The building presents a traditional residential façade with a modest lobby, a dedicated mail area, and elevator access to all floors. Interiors across units range from recently gut-renovated, turn-key apartments with quartz counters, stainless-steel appliances, recessed lighting and hardwood floors to original-condition studios that may require full renovation. Typical apartment features include eat-in or galley kitchens, windowed bathrooms, defined dining or dressing alcoves, multiple closets or walk-in storage, and occasional first-floor bedroom options. Shared amenities are functional rather than luxury: a coin- or card-operated laundry room on-site and a waitlist-accessible garage for tenant parking. Ownership rules are co-op standard: approximately three years of owner occupancy required before subletting is permitted (with board approval), financing up to 80% is mentioned on listings, and the building enforces no-pets and no-smoking policies. Location-wise the property is in Jackson Heights, a dense, transit-rich neighborhood steps from the 7 train and close to multiple subway lines, eateries, shops, and Paseo Park, offering easy access to parks, Citi Field and regional highways and airports. The overall character is practical, commuter-friendly housing that has seen selective modernization while retaining many mid-20th-century building norms.
