Six neighborhoods we know street by street — what the housing stock is, how it trades, and who buys there. Ask us about any block in the five boroughs; these are just the ones we write about.
Directly over the Ridgewood line, and the market our Queens clients cross into most often. Industrial blocks off Flushing Avenue have become loft conversions; the residential streets south of Myrtle are still frame and brick multifamily trading on rent roll. Prices move fast here, and a week's delay is a real number.

Quieter and more suburban than its neighbors — detached and semi-detached houses, private driveways, and buyers who intend to stay twenty years. Demand comes from Ridgewood families wanting a garage and a yard without leaving the neighborhood their parents live in. Inventory is thin and most of it sells to someone who already knows the block.
M — Fresh Pond Rd; Q55, Q29 buses

The historic heart of Polish New York, and where our bilingual practice began. Manhattan Avenue still reads in two languages while the waterfront has filled with new condominium towers. Two markets in one neighborhood: century-old frame houses on the interior streets, and new construction on the water priced against Manhattan.
G — Greenpoint Av, Nassau Av; L — Bedford Av

Wide streets, front gardens and the steadiest owner-occupant market we track. Juniper Valley Park anchors it and the school district holds value through soft years. Sellers here tend to be second-generation owners; buyers are families trading up out of an apartment. Deals close cleanly and rarely fall apart.
M — Metropolitan Av; Q38, Q67 buses

The firm's home ground and our office's own block. Landmarked Mathews Model Flats rowhouses, a Polish and Latin American commercial spine along Fresh Pond Road, and the last stretch of Queens where a two-family still cash-flows for an owner-occupant. We have sold on most of these streets more than once.
M, L — Fresh Pond Rd, Myrtle–Wyckoff, Seneca Av

The most expensive market we work in, and the one that sets the ceiling everything east of it is priced against. North Williamsburg trades on new construction and Manhattan views; the south side and East Williamsburg still hold frame houses and small multifamily where an investor can make the numbers work.
