Parkway Village

Summary

Parkway Village is a 675-home cooperative spread across 35 landscaped acres, with low-rise garden buildings and a distinctive history as integrated housing for United Nations staff. Residents value the community and renewed playgrounds, while grounds maintenance, pests, shared laundry and uneven enforcement of house rules are the recurring concerns.

Reviews

Parkway Village’s strongest appeal is its green, low-rise campus and long-standing community identity. The practical drawbacks come from maintaining a large older property: residents raise persistent concerns about pests, laundry facilities, grounds care and rule enforcement.

What residents praise

The garden-campus community is the main draw

Residents value the lawns, courtyards, renewed playgrounds and neighborly atmosphere, alongside the cooperative’s unusual social history.

What residents complain about

Grounds and pest control need consistent attention

Residents connect infrequent grass cutting, leaf buildup and weak basement treatment with recurring ants, roaches, water bugs and mosquitoes.

Shared laundry can be difficult to rely on

Accounts describe broken machines, dirty rooms, unusable door locks and payment equipment that is sometimes out of service.

Rules are not always enforced evenly

Residents report unresolved neighbor noise, slow management responses and frustration with parking enforcement and assessments.

Amenities

Parkway Village consists of low-rise walk-ups among landscaped grounds and playgrounds. Residents have multiple shared laundry rooms and permit parking on private streets; renovated homes can include in-unit laundry and dishwashers.

Location

Parkway Village is located at 81-26 150th Street, New York, NY 11435. The campus sits between Kew Gardens Hills and Jamaica, with groceries and local parks within walking distance. No subway station is within a 15-minute walk, so most commutes require a bus, a longer walk or a car.
