Valerie Arms

Set in Little Neck, this 1961-built co-op rises six stories and contains studios, one- and two-bedroom residences. The 43-unit Valerie Arms offers elevator access and a mix of efficient and larger layouts. Common amenities include a fitness center, seasonal in-ground outdoor pool, on-site laundry, landscaped courtyard and garden seating, and basement storage. The lobby and building security features are robust — live-in super, 24-hour security or video surveillance and electronic entry systems are noted. Units commonly have oversized windows, plentiful closet space or walk-in closets, and modernized kitchens with stone counters and stainless appliances in many homes. Maintenance commonly covers heat, gas, water and real estate taxes; landscaping, snow removal and assigned outdoor parking spaces are part of the package for many residents. The building sits at the suburban edge of Queens with quick access to the LIRR Port Washington line, multiple buses, parkways and the LIE. Nearby green space includes Alley Pond Park, Udalls Cove and Little Neck Bay bike trails, plus local shops, restaurants and services a short trip away.
