88-12 151St Ave

A mid-20th-century six-story cooperative in Howard Beach, this 1962 building contains primarily one- and two-bedroom apartment layouts arranged around elevator-served corridors. The exterior reflects a modest, low-rise residential profile common to outer-borough neighborhoods, set among tree-lined streets and nearby retail strips. Units typically offer practical mid-century interiors updated over time: refinished hardwood floors, efficient galley or eat-in kitchens with granite or quartz counters, marble accents in primary baths, chandeliers or ceiling fans, and built-in closet storage including his-and-hers configurations in larger apartments. Common areas on the lobby level include coin or card laundry facilities, a storage room, a bike room, and seating by a well-kept entrance with modest landscaping. Onsite features serving families include a sizable playground and a large terrace; building services are basic and self-managed with elevator access, assigned lot parking available for a monthly fee (wait list), and a security system reported in some units. Co-op governance requires share ownership with flip-tax provisions and typical down-payment minimums; pet rules allow cats but generally restrict dogs. The location delivers a residential, suburban-feel lifestyle within Howard Beach with nearby bus routes including express service to Manhattan, grocery and retail options, schools, and houses of worship.
