The station is located on a raised earthen embankment. There are side platforms serving the local tracks. The station house is located underneath the right-of-way on the south side of Avenue J. The south staircase on the southbound platform is double-wide and that side also has an exit-only turnstile and gate.

The station was opened early in the 20th century as a 2-track surface station. It opened as Manhattan Terrace c. 1900 and was renamed to "Avenue J" c. 1907, at about the same time that the railroad line was grade separated.
