A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Woodside Square Condominium 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.
Woodside Square is a 68-residence condominium occupying a broad brick building on the south side of Woodside Avenue. Built in 1942 and converted to condominium ownership in 1990, it combines a low-rise form with elevator access and unusually large windows in parts of the inventory. One- and two-bedroom homes make up the core residential offering.
The building also has a documented commercial history. Mid-century trade publications place Bulova's electronics operations at this address. Today, two separate commercial condominium lots occupy ground-floor and lower-level space, with their own entrance. The property therefore contains a residential association and substantial nonresidential premises within the same structure.
Its position near the Woodside rail hub is a central part of the address. The 61st Street subway station and Long Island Rail Road are close by, and the avenue has an active commercial setting. The building extends across the blockfront, creating a range of positions relative to the street and the rear of the property.
Architecture and unit composition
The exterior is red brick, with a broad horizontal profile and a flat roof. Large window openings are a recurring feature inside the apartments. Some homes have high ceilings and broad bands of glazing that give a compact floor plan more vertical space and a wider outlook.
One-bedroom layouts vary in size and in the relationship of the kitchen to the principal room. Some have an open kitchen, allowing the cooking and living areas to share light. Others preserve a more distinct kitchen zone. A foyer or a walk-in closet can take up a meaningful part of the footprint while also providing storage and separation from the entry.
The two-bedroom inventory includes relatively compact homes. These require a different comparison from a one-bedroom of similar area: an additional enclosed room can leave less space for the living area or the kitchen. Window placement is especially important where the apartment is divided into several separate rooms.
Some apartments have corner positions or rear-facing windows. A street-facing room can have a broader immediate outlook, while rear rooms relate to the depth of the block and neighboring buildings. Upper-floor views also depend on the direction of the windows; the building's modest height keeps much of the surrounding built environment within the sightline.
Individual renovations have introduced different kitchen layouts, cabinetry and bathroom finishes. Hardwood floors and large windows recur, but no single renovation standard applies across the condominium. Ceiling height and usable floor area should also be considered separately: a tall room does not automatically supply an extra legal bedroom or an additional level.
Building operations
The building's common facilities center on elevator access, a controlled entrance and shared laundry. These services support the residential floors without a large recreational amenity program. Central laundry provides a building-wide option independent of any equipment installed inside a particular apartment.
The commercial portion has a separate entrance, and its two condominium lots are separately classified by DOF. Their presence matters to the legal and operating structure of the property: apartment ownership and ownership of the commercial premises are distinct interests. A commercial sale can therefore occur without representing a residential apartment transfer.
The largest single residential owner holds seven of the 68 apartments, or roughly one-tenth of the residential inventory. That level of concentration leaves ownership distributed across numerous unit owners. It does not identify how individual owners use their apartments or establish a current rental percentage.
There is no building-level tax abatement identified in the current tax information. Residential lots are class 2, while the two commercial lots are class 4. The recorded FAR is below the present residential allowance, but the remaining numerical difference is not a grant of expansion rights to individual owners.
The condominium conversion is several decades old. Owners are buying into an established property with an older physical structure, and the common systems serve both renovated and unrenovated apartments. A newly finished interior can coexist with shared infrastructure dating from earlier stages of the building's life.

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.
