61-35 98th St #1J Rego Park, NY 11374

This rare first-floor unit at Park City Estates makes the ground floor a deliberate advantage. Step directly onto your private balcony, which opens onto the complex's lush green interior courtyard - a tranquil, garden-apartment feel that most NYC listings can only describe in passing. Courtyard-facing and notably quiet, this unit delivers a level of calm that's genuinely surprising for a building of this size. And every photo you see is the real thing - no virtual staging, no digital furniture. What you see is what you get. Inside, the apartment has been completely transformed. Gut-renovated kitchen with modern cabinetry, premium smart appliances, and clean sight lines into the dining area. Gut-renovated primary bath. Smart home technology integrated throughout. Modern fixtures in every room. This is not a typical unit in the complex - it's turnkey from the moment you walk in, with abundant natural light filling the space throughout the day. The layout spans 1,250 square feet across three generous bedrooms and two full baths, anchored by a spacious living room and separate dining area. Closet space is plentiful throughout. The building offers doorman service, gated grounds with 24/7 security, a community pool, attached parking garage, laundry in building, a live-in super, and a beautifully landscaped central courtyard with playgrounds. Getting around couldn't be easier. The QM12 and QM42 express buses to Manhattan pick up right in front of the building - easy ride to Macy's Herald Square/ 34th St. The M and R subway lines, Q38, and Q88 buses are also right outside. LGA is approximately 10 minutes away, JFK about 25. Rego Center, Queens Center Mall, and the buzzing restaurants and shops of Forest Hills and Rego Park are all <10 minutes away. Monthly maintenance $1,492/mo. Garage parking available separately. Pets are welcome. Board approval required.
