A mid-century gem in the heart of Forest Hills

Barclay Plaza North, completed in 1966, stands as a testament to mid-century design in the vibrant Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens. This six-story brick structure houses 57 condominium units, offering residents a blend of classic charm and modern convenience. Situated just minutes from the bustling Continental Avenue subway station, the building provides easy access to Manhattan while maintaining a quiet, residential atmosphere. The condominium's enduring appeal lies in its prime location, spacious units, and the strong sense of community that has developed over its nearly six decades of existence.

Spacious layouts with modern updates

Barclay Plaza North offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy one-bedrooms to expansive three-bedroom units. The one-bedroom apartments, spanning 820 to 950 square feet, are priced from $317,500 to $359,000. These units feature ample living space and often include walk-in closets, perfect for singles or couples. Two-bedroom units, ranging from 820 to 1,440 square feet, offer more versatility and are priced between $480,000 and $622,500. Many of these apartments have been thoughtfully renovated, boasting features like open-concept living areas, updated kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and custom California closets. For those seeking even more space, the three-bedroom units, approximately 1,400 square feet in size, are available around $740,000. These larger apartments often include split layouts, providing privacy and comfort for families or those who work from home. Throughout the building, residents enjoy hardwood floors, large windows that flood the spaces with natural light, and private balconies in select units. Many apartments have been updated with modern fixtures, including recessed lighting and renovated bathrooms featuring marble vanities and Kohler spa showers. The kitchens in renovated units often include quartz countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, and high-end appliances like double wall ovens and built-in microwaves. Monthly HOA fees range from $1,100 to $1,500, covering gas and water expenses. This fee structure helps residents manage their monthly costs effectively while enjoying the building's amenities and services.

Comfort and convenience in a well-maintained community

Barclay Plaza North offers a range of amenities designed to enhance residents' daily lives. The building features a recently renovated lobby, creating a welcoming entrance for residents and guests alike. A laundry room provides convenience for those without in-unit washers and dryers, while storage lockers and bike storage offer additional space for residents' belongings. For those with vehicles, the building provides a garage, though there may be a waiting list for spots. Immediate parking is available at a neighboring lot for $300 a month, offering a convenient alternative. The building's courtyard and residents' garden provide tranquil outdoor spaces for relaxation and socializing. Security and accessibility are prioritized at Barclay Plaza North. The building is equipped with an ADA-compliant exterior entrance and features 24-hour access for residents. A part-time doorman is on duty from 8:00 AM to midnight, enhancing security and assisting with package deliveries. Additionally, a live-in superintendent ensures prompt attention to maintenance needs. The condominium's policies allow for co-purchasing and subletting, offering flexibility for owners. However, it's worth noting that the building has a no-pet policy. These amenities and services, combined with the building's solid financial standing, contribute to a comfortable and well-managed living environment for residents.
