The Rafolin Co-op is a six-story cooperative built in 1958 that offers a mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments in a low-rise, garden-focused setting. The masonry building is served by an elevator and benefits from a long-established on-site staff including a live-in superintendent and additional porters. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, classic woodwork, and updated kitchens and baths in many units; building-wide finishes referenced in listings include granite, marble or quartz counters, recessed lighting, chandeliers, ceiling fans and functional eat-in kitchens. Common areas and services include two renovated laundry rooms, package/mail facilities, upgraded elevators, modernized security with cameras and a cloud-based intercom system, plus storage lockers and a bike room (both managed by waitlists). Outdoors, residents enjoy professionally maintained gardens, a courtyard and a small playground with private outdoor spaces for some units. On-site parking is available but allocated via a waiting list. The co-op maintains restrictive policies: no pets and no subletting are commonly enforced, and purchases require board approval and typically a 20% down payment. Located on the Woodside/Jackson Heights border, the building sits steps from multiple subway lines and the LIRR, short drives to the BQE and LaGuardia, and within easy walking distance of neighborhood shops, restaurants and parks.
