Rare 2-bedroom condominium with Manhattan skyline views in The Colton, a 1939 elevator mid-rise in the Jackson Heights Historic District. In a neighborhood where co-ops make up most of the market, a true condo is an uncommon find, and this one pairs that ownership flexibility, including subletting, with space that is hard to match nearby. This fourth-floor end unit offers approximately 1,230 sq ft of single-level living, well above the typical Jackson Heights 2-bedroom, with cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, and double-pane insulated windows. Its end-unit position brings abundant natural light and city views that stretch to the Manhattan skyline, a backdrop that shifts from morning light to the glow of the city at night.
The generous layout gives every room its own purpose: an eat-in kitchen with a pantry, a separate formal dining area for hosting, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom with both a bathtub and a separate stand-in shower. A nighttime doorman is on duty on weekends, and the building's common amenities include a park.
Just outside, Jackson Heights is a draw in itself. Travers Park sits about 0.3 mi away with tennis courts, basketball courts, and playgrounds, and the 34th Avenue Open Street (Paseo Park) offers a multi-block pedestrian and cycling corridor. The 37th Avenue retail corridor is roughly 0.15 mi away, with coffee at Qahwah Valley and Danang Tea House and groceries at Ferreira Foodtown, Food Dynasty, and Premium Market, all within about 0.2 mi. Subway service at 74th St–Broadway and Jackson Hts–Roosevelt Ave (E, F, M, R, and 7 trains, plus the LaGuardia shuttle) is approximately 0.4 mi away, putting that Manhattan skyline within a quick ride. A spacious, light-filled condo in the heart of Jackson Heights, Queens, NY.
