88-12 Elmhurst Ave

A six-story prewar residential cooperative built in 1941, this Elmhurst property presents a traditional mid-rise profile with a restrained facade and a sizeable, welcoming lobby. Units are primarily one-bedroom layouts with generous proportions for the era: high ceilings, hardwood floors, large windows that provide abundant natural light, and eat-in or galley-style kitchens. Common spaces include an elevator bank, a fitness room and laundry facilities in the basement, storage areas, and a staffed superintendent; security is reinforced with closed-circuit cameras. Monthly maintenance is characteristically low and often bundled to cover many utilities and property tax, reflecting cooperative ownership norms. The building allows pets and permits subletting after a board-approved holding period, with board review described as generally manageable. Situated in central Elmhurst, the address sits within short walking distance of multiple subway lines (7, M, R), several bus routes, supermarkets, restaurants and neighborhood retail, supporting a transit-oriented urban lifestyle. Parking is not a defining on-site feature; tenants typically rely on nearby street parking or public transit. Overall, the building combines prewar scale and finishes with practical amenity support for everyday living in a dense Queens neighborhood.
