This midcentury Queens co-op is impeccably maintained
Set in Queen’s Briarwood neighborhood, The Claridge is a modest, brick-clad midrise. Constructed in 1955, the building is nearly 70 years old, and though it looks it from the outside, the lobby could fool visitors and interested buyers. It’s clear that the co-op board has prioritized the property’s appearance: the landscaping out front is well-pruned, the lawns tidy and green, and the lobby tastefully updated. Its neutral color palette, stone finishes and wall moldings would fit at a nice hotel or brand-new condominium, and the space gets decorated for the holidays. Although the co-op doesn’t have a doorman — a sacrifice that keeps maintenance costs low by slimming the payroll — an elegant wrought-iron fence wraps the property, and 24-hour security and video surveillance gives residents peace of mind. The Claridge sits on a corner lot facing two quiet streets, 84th Road and Lander Street. Even with the co-op’s low-key setting, residents have the convenience of being near larger roads and major highways, as well as commercial hubs like Jamaica Center.
Studio to two-bedroom apartments with large living areas and windows
The Claridge has only 79 units, ranging from studios to two-bedrooms, spread across seven floors. Turnover within the building is low, and units that hit the market vary significantly in terms of their condition. Original apartments may include some combination of tankless toilets, laminate counters (often in a deep shade of green), mirrored walls or carpeted bedrooms. Other residents have chosen to renovate, installing hardwood floors and revamping kitchens with quartz counters, tile backsplashes and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry. Most units have compact kitchens, but this allows for spacious living rooms, and large, double-hung windows brighten the whole space. One-bedroom apartments have a junior-four layout with windowed dining alcoves; however, it's not uncommon for owners to convert that space into a second bedroom or home office. Turnover rates are low within the building, perhaps because the co-op has a history of consistent maintenance costs without annual increases. Only one unit has sold in 2024: a two-bedroom that closed for $300,000. In the last several years, one-bedroom apartments were priced between $225,000 and $273,000.
Amenities are limited, but residents can enjoy nice, private outdoor space
Although washer/dryers are not allowed in the apartments, a 24-hour laundry room is available in the basement. There is also a well-lit, below-grade garage with parking spaces and storage units; both currently have waitlists. A live-in super helps maintain the common areas, including the private courtyard, which has both grassy and paved areas, as well as a shaded, furnished gazebo.
This area offers a blend of quiet streets and city convenience
Briarwood feels more suburban than some other Queens neighborhoods. Its leafy streets are lined with parked cars belonging to the residents of single-family houses and multifamily buildings. Businesses sit at the neighborhood's outskirts, clustered along Queens Boulevard to the west, Hillside Avenue to the south or Parsons Boulevard to the east. The first is closest to The Claridge, about a 7-minute walk away. There, residents will find delis, banks, grocery stores like Key Food Supermarket and a mix of Colombian and Asian restaurants. Plus, owners with kids may appreciate being near the Hoover-Manton Playgrounds. Being more immersed in nature will require a farther commute to either Forest Park, roughly 2.5 miles away, or Flushing Meadows Corona Park, nearly 4 miles away. Jamaica Center, 1.5 miles from the co-op, has over 170 stores to cover any shopping needs.
Locals can quickly access planes, trains and automobiles
The Claridge may feel tucked away and suburban, but it’s quite convenient. Drivers can quickly access Main Road, which stretches to Downtown Flushing, plus Queens Boulevard, the Van Wyck Expressway and Grand Central Parkway. Local and express buses have stops clustered around these thoroughfares. The E and F trains are only 7 minutes from the co-op and reach Midtown Manhattan in under 30 minutes. From the nearby Jamaica station, travelers can take the Long Island Rail Road or a 10-minute ride on the AirTrain to JFK International Airport.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
