Jamaica Estates homes off er the most bang for your buck: Report

Donald Trump’s childhood neighborhood
now boasts some of the
best deals on homes, according
to a new report.
According to StreetEasy, Jamaica
Estates homes offer the best price
per square foot – the neighborhood’s
median price per square foot was
$255 in 2019, well below the Queens
median of $495.
But even if the president’s childhood
neighborhood doesn’t suit you,
there are still plenty of places to get
a bargain.
Queens’ median price per square
foot of $495 in 2019 was almost half
that of the city-wide median of $902.
That makes Queens the second
cheapest borough, just behind The
Bronx, according to the report. And
in general, Queens homes, regardless
of their size, sold at a lower
price than homes in other parts of
the city in 2019. Last year, the median
sales price in the borough was
$560,000 which is 20 percent less
than the city-wide average.
“Buyers seeking space are more
likely to find the perfect fit for
their needs and budget in Queens
as opposed to Manhattan, where
high prices result in a smaller
range of home sizes to choose
from,” said Nancy Wu, a StreetEasy
economist.
The report mentions, though, that
despite the relatively inexpensive
price of homes in Queens, there are
still some neighborhoods where
the price tag on a home gets a little
high.
The report found that a buyer
could purchase five homes in Jamaica
Estates for the price of one
home in Long Island City, one of the
more expensive neighborhoods in
Queens.
Regardless, Wu says, there are
choices for everyone in the World’s
Borough.
“From studios in brand new highrise
buildings in Long Island City to
single family homes in Jamaica Estates,
there is plenty to choose from
across sizes and budgets in Queens,”
Wu said.
