North Shore Towers and Country Club (NST) is easy to spot from various points in Queens and on Long Island. It’s hard to miss the three 33-story buildings on 110 acres of land in Floral Park that seem to tower over the rest of the area.
Before the three buildings were erected, the grounds were the Glen Oaks Country Club. The 1,844 unit apartment complex was built around 1974 and was converted to a cooperative in 1987.
One of the many amenities that draws residents to NST is its Country Club, where frequent events are held in its “VIP Room.”
The golf program at the Towers has been referred to by many as the “crown jewel” of the Country Club. There is an 18-hole, par 70 golf course that wraps around the buildings.
The facilities also include five tennis courts where the members frequently play and hold tournaments, a fully equipped gym, an aerobics program, an indoor and an outdoor pool, and card rooms, among other features.
Located in the arcade level that runs the length of all three buildings are vendors of every kind. Without even leaving the complex, NST residents can get groceries, get their hair done, see a movie, eat lunch, book a trip and see the dentist, just as a few examples.
The location of NST, which offers 24-hour security, puts the cooperative in the ideal spot to get to many other places. It’s just a short drive to Grand Central Parkway, the Long Island Expressway and the Cross Island Parkway. The easy highway access makes most destinations extremely accessible.
For those who don’t wish to drive, there is an express bus, the QM1A/QM1. A couple Long Island Rail Road stops are also near to the cooperative. Another service provided by the Towers to its residents is a courtesy bus.
