Classic Mid-Century Charm in Forest Hills

Completed in 1955, this brick structure offers a straightforward, functional aesthetic that complements the neighborhood's rich history. With 54 units, The Alderton provides a range of living options in a well-established community known for its blend of prewar cooperatives, single-family Tudors, and modern apartments.
Diverse Layouts with Modern Touches
The Alderton offers a variety of floor plans to suit different needs, from cozy studios to spacious two-bedroom units. Studio units range from 450 to 650 square feet and feature one bathroom. These units are perfect for individuals seeking a compact yet functional living space. One-bedroom units, spanning 550 to 950 square feet, typically sell for around $190,000. These units include a large living room and dining area combo, four closets, and a kitchen equipped with modern appliances. The two-bedroom units, the largest in the building, range from 950 to 1,250 square feet and come with one to one and a half bathrooms. These units boast features such as hardwood floors, elegant fixtures, and ample closet space. Many units have been recently renovated, offering updated kitchens with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and porcelain tiled floors. The expansive living rooms and dining areas provide plenty of space for entertaining, while large windows ensure that each unit is flooded with natural light.
Essential Amenities for Comfortable Living

Each unit comes with essential appliances, including a refrigerator, oven, and range, as well as a tub/shower combination in the bathrooms.
Vibrant Community with Rich History

The neighborhood's main thoroughfare, Queens Boulevard, is complemented by Austin Street, which offers a mile-long stretch of independently owned shops, restaurants, and major retailers. Points of interest include the historic Forest Hills Stadium, which has hosted legendary performances by The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, and The Rolling Stones.
