60 Hempstead Ave

A mid-20th-century low-rise cooperative in Hempstead, the four-story complex was built in 1961 and contains about 45 primarily one-bedroom residences arranged around shared outdoor amenities. The exterior is functional and unadorned, featuring individual balconies for many units and a landscaped pool deck that serves as a focal point in warm months. Interiors vary by unit but commonly include eat-in or open kitchens finished with granite or quartz counters, ceiling fans, formal dining or combined living/dining areas, walk-in or multiple closets, and some first-floor primary suites. The building is elevator-served and includes a central mail area, a common laundry room, and limited indoor parking with an on-site waiting list; free outdoor lot parking is typically available. Utilities such as heat, water and cooking gas are often included in maintenance. On the ground floor several commercial uses—medical and dental offices—share the block, and the property sits within walking distance of transit, schools, shopping and parkways, offering a suburban/commuter lifestyle with convenient local services. Pet policies and specific parking arrangements are managed by the coop board.
