Property Description for 37-26 87th Street, 5-F

Timeless Charm, Beautifully Renovated

Welcome home to this inviting and beautifully renovated two-bedroom, one-bath residence on the fifth floor. Thoughtfully gut renovated from top to bottom, this sun-filled home combines the warmth and character of original oak hardwood floors with a fresh, timeless design that makes the space feel comfortable from the moment you walk in.

The kitchen is bright, welcoming, and truly the heart of the home, with crisp white cabinetry, beautiful white granite countertops, and an elevated subway tile backsplash that adds just the right amount of character. The classic finishes complement the original oak floors beautifully, creating a space that feels both updated and warm rather than overly modern.

The bathroom continues that understated elegance with a soft black-and-white design and clean finishes. It’s simple, stylish, and feels like a space you’ll genuinely enjoy coming home to.

The oversized primary bedroom offers plenty of room to relax, along with abundant natural light and generous closet space. The second bedroom is also spacious and inviting, with large windows and ample storage. With windows in every room—including the kitchen and bathroom—the apartment enjoys wonderful natural light and refreshing cross ventilation.

Set on the desirable fifth floor, this is the kind of home that feels easy to settle into. Beautifully renovated while still preserving its original character, it offers comfort, charm, and exceptional value in one welcoming package.

Nestled in the vibrant Jackson Heights neighborhood, Monticello Gardens is a conveniently located six-story, 167-unit elevator building erected in 1951. Situated on a serene tree-lined block, it offers a host of amenities, including parking (waiting list), laundry facilities, bicycle storage, and a live-in super. Pets are welcome, and subletting is permitted after two years, subject to board approval as per house rules. Within a short distance of local amenities and transportation, residents can relish easy access to dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The building is well-maintained with no flip tax.

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.
