72-34 Austin St

A six-story pre-war condominium building constructed in 1932, located on Austin Street in Forest Hills. The low-rise property is primarily composed of one-bedroom units configured for efficient urban living, many featuring high ceilings, hardwood or parquet floors, and windowed rooms that maximize daylight. Interiors commonly include eat-in kitchens with granite counters, ample closet and storage space, updated baths, and practical touches such as sound-treated windows on select exposures. The building retains several classic pre-war details—charming moldings and formal foyers are frequently noted—while offering modern conveniences: elevator service to all floors, a live-in superintendent, on-site laundry in the basement, building storage and bicycle storage. Security is reinforced with controlled entry and 24/7 surveillance in some units. Parking is limited to street options and nearby public lots; public transportation access is a defining locational advantage, with E, F, M, R subway lines and the LIRR within easy walking distance and multiple bus routes to Manhattan and airports. The immediate neighborhood is Austin Street’s retail corridor, dense with restaurants, cafés, markets and small shops; nearby cultural and recreational landmarks include Forest Hills Stadium and the West Side Tennis Club. Overall the building balances pre-war character with everyday functionality for owners and renters in a highly walkable, transit-rich Queens enclave.
