The Manchester, built in 1941, was designed by the New York Architect Philip Birnbaum, well-known for his generous layouts and amenities for the benefit of more pleasurable home living. Birnbaum may have been the first Architect to design residential buildings utilizing rooftops. As a result, Manchester residents enjoy a beautiful roof deck with city views. The apartment building takes up a full block on the 35th Avenue between 77th and 78th Streets. Laundry, a bicycle room and storage units are located on the premises. There is currently a waiting list for the parking garage. Subletting is allowed with approval. One block away are the recently renovated Travers Park and an open pedestrian street on 34th Avenue. Jackson Height's year-round Farmer's Market is two blocks away. Nearby restaurants and shopping include neighborhood favorites: Espresso 77, The Queensboro, Table Wine and Stand Alone Cheese. Five subway lines (7, E, F, M, R) and buses to Manhattan and LGA are within close proximity.
