96-11 65Th Rd

A six-story prewar cooperative built in 1939, this elevator building consists primarily of one-bedroom and modest multi-room units arranged around service corridors and light courts. Architecturally it reflects classic 1930s residential detailing: high ceilings, original woodwork, crown moldings, and formal entry foyers remain common in many apartments. Interiors vary from preserved original finishes — parquet and hardwood floors, built-in shelving, galley or eat-in kitchens and windowed bathrooms — to thoughtfully renovated kitchens and baths with granite or quartz counters. Common areas include a staffed lobby, two elevators, on-site laundry facilities, bike and additional storage rooms, and mailbox service; some listings note a live-in superintendent and a small garden. Building policies and conveniences favor cooperative ownership: reasonable maintenance charges, a history of manageable assessments, and typical co-op requirements (including minimum down payments). The location is tightly tied to Rego Park’s retail corridors and transit: blocks from Queens Boulevard, M and R trains, major bus routes, and nearby shopping destinations such as Austin Street, Queens Center, and larger retailers. The neighborhood provides an urban-residential lifestyle with abundant shops, restaurants, and schools within walking distance.
