The Colorado

The Colorado is a mid-century, seven-story cooperative built in 1951 in Forest Hills, Queens. The property primarily contains one- and two-bedroom layouts plus smaller junior units and features traditional apartment proportions: entry foyers, separate dining areas, and apartments with multiple closets and hardwood floors. Interiors often showcase updated kitchens with stainless appliances and quartz or granite counters, renovated windowed baths, recessed lighting, and occasional built-ins; many units preserve high ceilings and generous closet capacity including walk-ins in select homes. Common areas include elevator service, a part-time doorman/virtual doorman system, on-site laundry facilities, and a resident superintendent; building improvements noted in listings include updated elevators, a new roof, and modernized intercoms. Exterior and shared amenities emphasize convenience—a managed indoor garage with parking (fee and waitlist), waiting lists for storage, and private outdoor spaces for certain units. Pet policies and exact coop board requirements vary but the building is repeatedly described as well maintained with relatively straightforward board approval. Located steps from the 67th Avenue M/R subway and within walking distance of E/F service and the LIRR, The Colorado sits amid Forest Hills’ retail corridors, parks and restaurants, offering commuter-friendly urban-suburban living with immediate access to Austin Street, Queens Boulevard, nearby green spaces, and local grocery and retail options.
