A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Fairview would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
The Fairview is a six-story brick cooperative built in 1936, with 48 residences at 111-45 76th Drive. Its prewar layouts include sunken living rooms, raised dining areas and separate kitchens. Those changes in floor level and the space devoted to dining distinguish it from later apartment plans that combine all living functions in a single room.
The building's studios and one-bedroom homes form a substantial part of its public resale history. Some one-bedroom plans have enough space for a defined dining or work area, and their layouts make different use of the available floor area. An elevator, resident superintendent and shared laundry support the apartments.
The location is near Queens Boulevard and the 75th Avenue subway station. Its entrance is on 76th Drive between Austin Street and Queens Boulevard.
Architecture and unit composition
The brick exterior encloses a conventional six-floor apartment house. Inside, prewar planning separates the entrance, kitchen and principal living area. Foyers provide a transition into the home, while closets are distributed near the entrance and bedrooms.
Some living rooms sit below an adjoining dining area. The change in level gives the rooms a visual boundary while retaining an open connection between them. It also introduces an interior step into the everyday route through the apartment.
Studios can have a separate kitchen and a combined living and sleeping room, with hardwood flooring and substantial closet space. One-bedroom layouts provide a separate sleeping room and, in some cases, a raised dining zone large enough to function independently of the main living room.
The documented larger one-bedroom plans extend to roughly 800 square feet. Kitchen renovations vary, including pass-through arrangements. A dining alcove offers useful additional space, but the legal and physical requirements for enclosing it as a bedroom depend on the windows and dimensions of the particular plan.
Building operations
The Fairview has a live-in superintendent, an elevator and laundry facilities in the basement. Intercom entry serves the residential entrance. The building's shared services are concentrated on those everyday functions.
The property is held through a cooperative corporation. Apartment purchases transfer shares and a proprietary lease, and proposed sublets have been subject to board approval — confirm current terms with the managing agent. An advertised rental doesn't mean a new buyer can sublet freely; board approval still applies.
Class 2 taxation applies to the property, without the statutory annual assessment-growth caps available to smaller tax classes. No building-wide abatement appears in the DOF record. The existing built floor area is above the current R6 district's standard residential allowance, so the six-story property represents an established density on its lot.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 4-03341-0037) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
At the recent median sale of $460K (6 transfers since 2024), a buyer putting 25% down would pay about $10,275 to close, or 2.2% of the price.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
