Building: 119-21 Metropolitan Avenue

Beautiful architectural details set this large prewar building apart. Amid landscaped grounds, a circular driveway leads to the elegant arched entranceway. Inside, a sweeping lobby with high coffered ceilings, terrazzo floors and grand staircase set a sophisticated tone.Nearby restaurants, retail and other services including laundry across the street make everyday living convenient. And recreational opportunities abound in nearby Forest Park, considered one of the city’s jewels, and the third largest park in Queens.
