83-85 116Th St

A midcentury, six-story condominium completed in 1956 and totaling about 20 residences, the property presents a low-rise, walk-up-scaled profile set on a residential, tree-lined block in the Richmond Hill / Kew Gardens area. Unit mix skews toward compact two-bedrooms and studios with layouts that include alcoves, eat-in kitchens, formal dining options, and occasional first-floor/master-downstairs arrangements. Interiors range from original-period details to fully renovated units featuring hardwood floors, granite or marble countertops, stainless appliances, and updated electrical/plumbing; many homes emphasize built-in storage and multiple closets. Shared building features include an elevator, common laundry, and straightforward, low monthly common charges; an indoor parking garage is available though spaces may be limited and on a waiting list. The building’s exterior and massing reflect 1950s practical design rather than ornamentation, and its footprint provides direct access to surrounding sidewalks, transit, and Forest Park. Pet-friendly policies and modest unit sizes support a practical, neighborhood-oriented lifestyle focused on proximity to transit (E/F, J/Z, LIRR) and local retail corridors on Metropolitan and Jamaica avenues.
