This 16-story co-op was built in 1962 and offers studio and one-bedroom residences in the heart of Downtown Flushing. The midcentury tower contains a small number of units and presents a low-density feel on a busy commercial corridor.

The building provides staffed lobby service with doorman or 24-hour security mentioned across listings. Elevators serve all floors and on-site laundry facilities are available. Many apartments feature private balconies and city-facing views. Parking is offered (waitlist or building parking) and a live-in superintendent oversees day-to-day operations. Maintenance often includes heat, water and gas in many units. Subletting is allowed under the co-op’s rules, and pets are permitted in several listings. Additional common touches referenced include mailbox service, secure entry with video, and practical kitchens with eat-in or combo layouts.

Its downtown Flushing location places residents steps from Main Street shopping, markets and restaurants, multiple bus lines, the 7 train and LIRR stations, Queens Botanical Garden and nearby parks. The building suits buyers who want transit access, neighborhood amenities, outdoor green space and straightforward building services.
