70 Locust Ave

A midcentury, six-story cooperative complex built in 1955, composed primarily of one- and two-bedroom residences organized around shared corridors and served by elevators. Units typically feature hardwood floors, high ceilings in some layouts, eat-in or galley kitchens with periodic renovations that include granite or butcher-block counters and stainless appliances, and a mix of updated and original bathrooms. Common-area offerings are pragmatic and community-focused: an on-site gym/fitness room, laundry facilities, bike and storage rooms, a playground/fenced outdoor area, and basement-level amenities such as additional storage. The maintenance package commonly includes most utilities (electric, heat, water) with a seasonal AC surcharge; some co-op units have building insurance and taxes rolled into maintenance. Parking options include an on-site garage, surface lot, and municipal parking nearby. The property’s management and cooperative structure require board approval for many sales, with some sponsor-direct or no-board-sale exceptions noted in listings. Located within walking distance of New Roc City, Metro-North station and Main Street retail, the building sits in a mixed residential-commercial neighborhood offering convenient transit access, nearby parks and waterfront recreation at Hudson Park and Beach, and everyday shopping and dining within easy reach.
