Birchwood Towers is one of the most highly sought after coop developments in Forest Hills Queens. The development consists of three sister high rise buildings, the Belaire, the Toledo, and the Kyoto. Built in the 1960’s these three mid-century buildings all share similar architecture, similar apt layouts, and similar amenities.
The Bel Air
The Bel Air is located at 66-36 Yellowstone Blvd, it consists of 28 floors, and 244 units. This building probably has the nicest lobby of all three buildings as it was the most recently renovated one. (masconvention.org) Building amenities include a modern avant-garde lobby, 24 hour doorman, concierge service, lounge room, laundry, garden patio, garage parking, storage, gym (via adjacent building), and access to the Birchwood Towers pool club.

The Toledo
The Toledo is located at 102-30 66th Rd, it consists of 30 floors, and 249 units. This building may have the most amenities because it has direct access to the pool, a gym (in the building), children’s playground, courtyard/sitting area, and community room in addition to the 24 hour doorman, parking, laundry and storage. It is also connected to the Kyoto via the fourth floor.

The Kyoto
The Kyoto is situated right next to the Toledo at 102-10 66th Rd. This building consists of 30 floors and 249 units. It also shares similar amenities to the Toledo as it has shared access to the playground & courtyard. The difference with the Kyoto is the fact that it is closer to the subway station on 67th Ave. They also have a 24 hour doorman, laundry, fitness room, bike room, and parking. They do not have direct access to the pool, but they do share the pool club amenity.

All three building residents have access to the Birchwood Towers pool and that is a rare amenity to have in a town as densely populated as Forest Hills. This coupled with the 24 hour doorman buildings, charming lobbys, large apts, community areas, and high rise views make Birchwood Towers one of the most popular coops to live in, in Forest Hills. It’s no wonder that apts in this development sell on the higher end of the neighborhood. Every time we’ve sold an apt here we’ve received a lot of interest and great feedback from buyers. People who enjoy luxury living, high security, extra amenities, and close proximity to the transportation love Birchwood Towers.
