While often overshadowed by Manhattan and Brooklyn, Queens has a lot to offer to buyers looking for luxury amenities, accessibility, and proximity to green spaces. Property Shark<\/a>\u2019s data shows significant real estate transaction activity over the last year in the borough.<\/p>\n

Check out the best-selling buildings in Queens ranked by number of units sold in 2015:<\/p>\n

<\/span> 10. Bay Terrace<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Units Sold: 19<\/strong>
\nMedian sale price: $253,250<\/strong><\/p>\n

Considered by some to be the \u201cmost successful conversion in NYC\u201d, this idyllic co-op is less than 30 minutes away from Manhattan, yet boasts affordable prices, a park-like setting, golf, highly rated schools, and spectacular shopping.<\/p>\n

<\/span>9. Kennedy House<\/a> Condominiums, Forest Hills & Silver Towers<\/a>, Kew Gardens<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Units Sold: 20<\/strong><\/p>\n

Median sale prices<\/strong>
\nKennedy House Condominiums: $577,000
\nSilver Towers: $180,000<\/p>\n

Both Forest Hills and Kew Gardens claim multiple spots on this year\u2019s top 10 list of Queens buildings. Silver Towers sales have been fueled by affordability with a median price of just $180k. Kennedy House offers a more elegant lobby, in addition to a rooftop pool, justifying a more regal median price of $577k per unit.<\/p>\n

<\/span>8. Downtown Flushing & Rego Park<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Units Sold: 22<\/strong><\/p>\n

Median sale prices<\/strong>
\n13208 Pople Ave: $288,800
\n9932 66 Avenue: $259,500
\nPark City Estates: $207,500<\/p>\n

All tied in 8th<\/sup> place with 22 units sold in 2015; these 3 Queens buildings offer very reasonably priced apartments ranging from a median of $207,500 in Park City Estates to $288,000 on Pople Avenue.<\/p>\n

<\/span>7. Shangri-La Tower<\/a>, Downtown Flushing & Birchwood Towers<\/a>, Forest Hills<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Units Sold: 24<\/strong><\/p>\n

Median sale prices<\/strong>
\nShangri-La Tower: $441,000
\nBirchwood Towers: $314,500<\/p>\n

With a median price of $441,000, the Shangri-La Tower is the 3rd<\/sup> time that Downtown Flushing places in our list. Birchwood Towers scored a more modest median price of $314,500, and fills\u00a0 one of four positions held by Forest Hills.<\/p>\n

<\/span>6. Hunters Point<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Units Sold: 32<\/strong>
\n Median sale price: $585,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Citylights remains the most praised Queens co-op in Long Island City. Spectacular views and being a pet-friendly building continue to make this a highly desirable community to live in. This is certainly reflected in the higher median sales price of $585,000.<\/p>\n

<\/span>5. Kew Gardens Hills<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Units Sold: 43<\/strong>
\n Median sale price: $176,300<\/strong><\/p>\n

NYC real estate doesn\u2019t come much cheaper than this! While not all the online reviews of Dara Gardens are positive, units start at just $175,000 for gated community living.<\/p>\n

<\/span>4. Bay Terrace<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Units Sold: 44<\/strong>
\n Median sale price: $505,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spread over 13 acres of park land with pink blossoming trees, and with a heated indoor-outdoor Olympic-sized pool, the Bay Condo Club offers Queens residents a wealth of living without ever having to leave the community. The median sale price over the last 12 months comes in at $505k.<\/p>\n

<\/span>3. Elmhurst<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Units Sold: 48<\/strong>
\n Median sale price: $386,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Originally built in the early 60s, The Continental Park<\/a> underwent a complete renovation just 2 years ago. This Queens co-op now presents itself as one of the most modern and attractive on this list, although the median sale price remains a deceptively inexpensive $386,000. The Continental\u2019s classy units with private terraces are clearly a hit with savvy NYC buyers.<\/p>\n

<\/span>2. The Aston<\/a>, Forest Hills<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Units Sold: 89<\/strong>
\n Median sale price: $845,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Aston<\/a> could easily become known as one of the most successful buildings in Queens. The brand new 16-story luxury condo tower is a back-to-the-future blend of modern Art Deco design with echoes of the glamorous days of the 1920s. Its architect describes his work as \u201cThe Great Gatsby comes to Queens again.\u201d <\/em>Sales have been fast and furious, and resales could rocket well beyond the current median price of $845,000.<\/p>\n

<\/span>1. Glen Oaks<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Units Sold: 112<\/strong>
\n Median sale price: $610,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

While its units are less pricey than those in The Aston, North Shore Towers<\/a> certainly claims the crown for most units sold in the last 12 months – by a long way. The North Shore Towers complex is a fortress, combined of three 34-floor buildings, with its own electricity supply, 22-unit retail shopping center, golf course, and its own zip code. However, buying here is only possible via a rigorous interview and screening process with the board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
