Forest Hills
Forest Hills Gardens, laid out from 1909 by the Russell Sage Foundation to designs by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and Grosvenor Atterbury, is not a designated New York City historic district; its streets are private and its controls come from deed covenants and a homeowners corporation. Across the wider neighborhood the stock is predominantly cooperative and trades as resale rather than sponsor inventory: prewar co-ops around Station Square, including the 1912 Forest Hills Inn; postwar elevator buildings along Queens Boulevard and Austin Street; and attached and free-standing houses behind them. Confirm whether an address sits inside the Gardens boundary, where the corporation's annual assessment and exterior-alteration approval apply.
