Continental Gardens — top floor, corner unit, southern exposure. That's not just a headline — it means the space is genuinely bright, all day, no lights needed. Walk in through the foyer, past two large closets, into a huge living room/dining area with a kitchen cut-out. It's an inviting layout that just works. The kitchen has a window near the stove. The bathroom has its own window, plus a linen closet right off it — small details that make daily life easier. The bedroom is just as bright, with windows facing both 66th Road and Yellowstone Blvd. This is a true one-bedroom, not a junior — every square foot pulls its weight.
Continental Gardens itself is gated and resort-like, genuinely one of the best-kept complexes in this part of Forest Hills. The grounds are built to be used, not just looked at — a communal BBQ area that rarely sees traffic, so you're not fighting for it, and seating scattered throughout where people actually sit and hang out. Add a live-in super, on-site laundry, and parking (waitlist), and it feels more like a retreat than a typical co-op. Sublet is permitted, and the flip tax here is low — paid by the seller, not you.
Location does real work here too. Over 4 parks within a short distance. Tons of shops, restaurants, and grocery stores on 108th Street. The M/R subway is about 7 minutes away, the express at 71st-Continental 15 minutes or less. Driving? You're close to the LIE, Grand Central Parkway, and the Van Wyck.
Here's the number that matters: $1,128/month maintenance, plus a $199 assessment — dropped as of January 2027 — electricity's already built in, with a small add-on for AC. That's a real low carrying cost now for a true one-bedroom in this location, and it gets even lower once the assessment drops off in 2027. Offered at $324,888.
