Elmhurst Towers

Elmhurst Towers is a mid-rise, 10-story cooperative constructed in 1961 that reads as a solid concrete/brick residential block typical of outer-Queens postwar development. The building contains a mix of studio-through-two-bedroom units, including alcove studios and junior-four layouts created by reconfigurations; many apartments have been renovated with hardwood or marble-like floors, granite countertops, and upgraded kitchens and baths. Individual residences commonly feature eat-in kitchens, formal dining or living/dining arrangements, entrance foyers, ceiling fans, walk-in closets in larger units, and private balconies or terraces in select homes. Shared building facilities emphasize everyday convenience: an elevator, on-site laundry, a live-in superintendent, secured entry and a part-time doorman. Exterior amenities include a planted outdoor courtyard/garden and limited indoor assigned parking; management notes that utilities and property taxes are often bundled into maintenance. Pet policies vary by listing but several notes indicate no pets; subletting is permitted after one year subject to board approval. Located a block from the M and R subway lines at Elmhurst Avenue and minutes from Broadway retail, groceries and Moore Homestead Playground, Elmhurst Towers offers commuter-friendly access to Manhattan while sitting in a dense, service-rich neighborhood.
