84-23 Manton St

A midcentury, six-story cooperative built in 1956, this masonry walk-up-with-elevator sits in the Briarwood section of Jamaica, Queens. Comprising 16 mostly studio and small one- to two-bedroom units, the property reflects postwar apartment-block scale with simple brick facades and practical window rhythms. Interiors vary by residence; typical units feature eat-in or efficiency kitchens, hardwood floors, generous closet space and windowed baths. Common areas include an entrance foyer, elevator access, a lobby-level laundry room, storage space and a live-in superintendent. Building services and financial structure are coop-style: maintenance fees often cover heat, electricity and property tax, boards review finances and interviews are required, and a flip tax and sublease restrictions may apply. On-site parking is available via a garage with a waiting list. The property is pet-friendly and is positioned one block from the E/F subway and close to multiple bus routes, shopping corridors, libraries, parks and schools, making day-to-day errands and commuting straightforward. Overall, the building offers a practical, community-oriented urban co-op experience rooted in midcentury functionality.
