The station is located at 75th Street and Jamaica Avenue and is largely within Woodhaven, Queens, with a small portion in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn.

It was reported in Newsday on February 20, 1988, that the mezzanines at Elderts Lane, Forest Parkway and 104th Street stations would be torn down.

The New York City GIS portal labels the station as "75th St–Eldert Ln", with the "s" removed from "Elderts," matching the current name of the street.

Staircases from the east end (railroad north) of each platform, one each, lead down to a waiting area/crossover, where a turnstile bank provides entrance/exit from the station.

Outside fare control, there is a token booth and two staircases going down to either eastern corner of 75th Street and Jamaica Avenue.
