REAL ESTATE
Three Queens neighborhoods make list of NYC areas to watch in 2018
BY SUZANNE MONTEVERDI

All eyes on the Flushing, Elmhurst
and Woodside real
estate markets in the new year,
according to a recent report.
The three Queens locales made real
estate site StreetEasy’s roundup of
the 10 New York City neighborhoods
to watch in 2018. Buyers, renters and
sellers should keep their eye out for an
increased interest and rising prices in
each of these neighborhoods.
Flushing, which has seen a huge
share of the borough’s residential
developments in recent years, took
the No. 3 slot. The neighborhood saw
a median sale price of $737,455 and
$2,000 median rent price in 2017.
Page views for Flushing listings
on the site grew 80 percent since last
year — the highest number for any
neighborhood that made the list. The
eastern Queens neighborhood saw 35
new residential projects in 2017, according
to New York City Department
of Buildings data.
In Elmhurst, which sits at No. 4,
year-over-year median sale price
growth was significant, with a 40
percent increase to just over $590,000.
The median rent in 2017 was $1,913,
most aff ordable of the three Queens
neighborhoods that made the list.
Taking the last spot on the roundup
was Woodside, which recorded
a 2017 median sale price of $390,000
and $2,000 median rent. The western
Queens neighborhood saw a 65-percent
increase in listing views year
over year and eight new residential
projects, according to city data.
The allure of these outer-borough
neighborhoods may lie in the
“one-neighborhood-over theory,”
according to StreetEasy. Elmhurst
and Woodside are located close to
the coveted neighborhoods of Long
Island City and Astoria, but off er more
aff ordable options. All three Queens
neighborhoods on the list are also
near the 7 train, off ering a convenient
transportation option into Manhattan.
West Harlem in Manhattan and
Fort Greene in Brooklyn took the No.
1 and 2 spots on the list, respectively.
Norwood in the Bronx also made the
list at No. 6.
“Neighborhoods like West Harlem,
Woodside and Prospect Park South,
which have long been outshined by
their popular neighbors, are fi nally
taking the spotlight in 2018,” StreetEasy
Senior Economist Grant Long
said. “As New Yorkers seek to balance
aff ordability with convenience, these
nearby neighborhoods are seeing a
surge of interest, growing prices and
an infl ux of new development.”
The study was conducted on four
main factors: annual change in median
sales and rent price, listing views
on StreetEasy and the amount of new
construction in the neighborhood.
