The Pembroke

The Pembroke is a mid-century, six-story cooperative constructed in 1950 and sited on a tree-lined block of Forest Hills. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom layouts, many retaining pre-war details such as high ceilings, crown moldings, archways and oversized windows; ceiling fans, eat-in and galley-style kitchens, formal dining rooms, multiple walk-in closets and entrance foyers are common interior features. The building operates with elevator service, a live-in superintendent team, central laundry room, bike and storage rooms, and an on-site garage available via waitlist. Common finishes referenced in listings include hardwood floors, updated kitchens with granite counters and stainless appliances, renovated windowed baths, and ample built-in storage. Exterior amenities are restrained and practical, with mailbox access and well-maintained grounds framing the building’s courtyard orientation. Located within walking distance of Austin Street’s shops and restaurants, multiple subway lines, express buses, and the LIRR, the Pembroke also sits opposite a public playground and close to larger recreational destinations like Flushing Meadows and Forest Hills Stadium. The co-op board enforces application and interview requirements, a typical down-payment minimum, and maintenance that includes heat, hot water and taxes; building financials are reported as healthy with reserve funds and management that supports optional bulk internet/cable packages.
