Property Description for 33-40 81st Street, 31

Put your personal stamp on this lovely three-bedroom, two-bathroom co-op combining an expansive, flexible floor plan with prewar architectural details at The Towers, one of the grandest of Jackson Heights' famed garden complexes. In-unit washer-dryers are permitted. Inside this approximately 1,350-square-foot Classic Six, spacious sun-kissed interiors are filled with tall coved ceilings, inlaid herringbone hardwood floors and large six-over-six windows on all four exposures. An oversized foyer with a coat closet makes a warm welcome. Ahead, the sprawling open-plan living and dining rooms create a perfect backdrop for relaxing and entertaining alongside treetop views and a stunning wood-burning fireplace. The windowed eat-in kitchen is ready for your updates, providing a generous footprint for abundant cabinetry, appliances and a breakfast nook. Down the hallway, two king-size bedrooms with roomy closets and double exposures occupy the eastern wing, while a smaller third bedroom — perfect as a home office, nursery or guest room — includes an en suite bath that could be updated to maximize the space. A second full bathroom with a sunny window, large tub/shower and classic prewar tile completes this Jackson Heights haven. The legendary Towers is a block-long enclave of handsome brick buildings wrapped in manicured landscaping, lush gated passageways and a spectacular interior garden with fountains. Designed in 1923 with stunning Romanesque and Renaissance influences by notable architect Andrew J. Thomas, the pet-friendly co-op provides on-site management and maintenance staff, laundry in each building, private storage and a children's play area. In-unit washer-dryers are permitted. Sorry, no subletting. From this outstanding Jackson Heights Historic District location, you're just inches from the 26-block-long 34th Avenue Open Street, including a permanent pedestrian plaza and wide bike lanes. Two blocks away, renovated Travers Park offers a playground, sports courts and a year-round greenmarket. Enjoy outstanding shopping, dining, nightlife and entertainment venues and easy access to Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the USTA tennis center, CitiField and the recently announced New York City FC soccer stadium. Transportation is effortless with F/M, E, R and 7 trains, excellent bus service, the BQE and LaGuardia Airport all nearby.

Jackson Heights | Queens

Quick Profile

Jackson Heights has one of the most diverse populations in the city, and over 100 languages are spoken here. With this cultural diversity comes supporting restaurants, bars, shops and cultural opportunities. It is a mix of commercial and residential properties. There is a wide range of shops and service businesses, so that anything you would need, from a barber, to a pharmacy, to clothing, and food is available right in the neighborhood, no matter which culture or language you might need these services provided in. 

Jackson Heights has three nicknames, based on micro-neighborhoods with the neighborhood as a whole. Little India occupies an area on 74th Street, while parts of 73rd Street are known as Little Pakistan. Little Columbia is along 37th Avenue.

A large portion of Jackson Heights has been designated as an historic district, from Roosevelt Avenue to Northern Boulevard, between the east side of 76th Street to the west side of 88th Street.

Jackson Heights was a planned community, where the first “garden apartments” were created in buildings constructed around central gardens and green spaces that gave neighbors a place to meet and socialize with one another, created places for children to play, allowing light to come into the apartments and air to flow freely through them. These gardens are private and only residents have access to them. Passing by the buildings, you might not even guess the gardens were there, as they are not generally visible from the street. 

Additionally, there are some mid-rise apartment buildings. Some of these are rentals, some are co-ops, and some are condos. There are a few attached row houses that provide housing for one to three families. 

As much as Jackson Heights might be full of noise and mix of cultures, it also has a quieter side, where the various cultures mix and mingle and learn about each other against a backdrop of beautiful architecture and a culinary landscape that brings the world to Queens.
