Five Queens neighborhoods
landed on a list of the 50 most
expensive New York City neighborhoods
in 2020, according to
a new report released this week.
Ditmars Steinway (36th),
Malba (42nd), Hunters Point
(43rd), Ridgewood (44th)
and Neponsit (50th) all made
PropertyClub’s 50 most expensive
neighborhoods list, with
three ending the year with a
median sales price over $1 million.
Ditmars Steinway, the northern
most section of Astoria,
had a median sales price of
$1,150,000, according to the
report. Both Malba and Hunters
Point had a median sales
price just over $1 million and
Ridgewood and Neponsit had
a median sales price just under
$1 million.
Unsurprisingly, more than
half of the neighborhoods landing
on the list, including the top
15, were in Manhattan.
Noho, the most expensive
neighborhood in New York City,
had a median sales price nearly
three times as expensive than
the priciest Queens neighborhood.
Second on the list was the
recently developed neighborhood,
Hudson Yards, which
had a median sales price
of $3,201,875, according to
PropertyClub.
