A mid-century gem in the heart of Forest Hills

Constructed in 1949, this 78-unit building offers a blend of mid-century charm and modern living. The Roosevelt House stands as a testament to the post-war development boom that shaped much of New York City's residential landscape. Its location provides residents with easy access to the diverse amenities of Forest Hills while maintaining a sense of community within the building itself.
Spacious layouts with recent renovations
