61-40 Saunders St

A low-rise cooperative built in 1927, this four-story walk-up occupies a well-established block in Rego Park. The building primarily offers one-bedroom units, many configured with eat-in kitchens, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and ample closet space; several units have been recently renovated with modern finishes such as granite counters and stainless appliances. Common features include a staffed lobby with a live-in superintendent, an elevator, on-site laundry in the basement, and building security with cameras and 24-hour presence in some listings. The exterior reflects period masonry construction with modest prewar detailing and street-level retail or entry stoops typical of neighborhood buildings from the era. Management policies are coop-style: investor-friendly subletting is generally permitted (often with a 15% sublet fee), there is no flip tax in many units, and pet policies are permissive in several listings. The location is highly transit-accessible—one block from Queens Boulevard with M/R trains and multiple bus routes—and within walking distance of Queens Center Mall, shops, restaurants, schools, and major highways, supporting both daily convenience and commuter access.
