Several Queens neighborhoods
made the list of New York City’s
top 50 most expensive neighborhoods
in the fi rst quarter of 2018.
PropertyShark, a real estate website,
releases this list every quarter and
though some neighborhoods repeatedly
make it onto the list there are some new
additions this quarter. Most of the priciest
places are located in Manhattan or Brooklyn,
but the fi rst Queens neighborhood to
appear on the list is Belle Harbor at No. 26.
The median sales prices of a home
in Belle Harbor was $995,000, which
represents a 29 percent increase
since the same time last year. A total
of seven sales were made from Jan. 1
through March 31. According to PropertyShark,
a home at 270 Beach 137th
St. sold for almost $1.6 million.
Queensboro Hill, a section of
Flushing, appeared 34th on the list
with a median sales price of $883,500.
Though this represents a 4 percent
decrease in price since last year, a
total of 16 sales were made in the fi rst
quarter of 2018.
Auburndale, which did not make
it onto the list last quarter, saw a 10
percent increase in median sales
price since last year. The median sales
prices for the 31 homes sold this year
was $880,000.
The Hunters Point section of Long
Island City, a neighborhood that has
become increasingly expensive, was
39th on the list. The median sales prices
in the area dropped 16 percent and
the median price for 111 sales in 2018
was $817,475.
The 42nd neighborhood on the list,
East Flushing, also saw a 16 percent
decrease in median sales price since
last year. A total of 26 sales were made
for a median price of $787,500.
Fresh Meadows, which consistently
makes this list, saw a 2 percent
decrease in median sales price
with $773,000. A total of 44 sales
were made.
The last neighborhood on the
list, Middle Village, saw a 4 percent
increase in median sales price with
$730,000. According to PropertyShark,
29 sales were made there this year.
The median sale prices were calculated
based on residential property
sales closed between Jan. 1 and March
31. The residential properties included
in the list are single-family homes,
condos and co-ops.
