Why should you buy an apartment in Sunnyside? 

If you are looking for a new home in Queens, you might be considering the various neighborhoods in the area. Sunnyside is located in the western part of the borough and has become a popular spot to live in over the years. 

If you are looking for a home for sale in Queens or any kind of Sunnyside real estate, keep reading. Queens is a diverse borough that is home to several different cultures. Not to mention, there may still be a bunch of food trucks serving up several different dishes from all over the world. 

Let’s take a look now at some of the reasons why you should buy an apartment in Sunnyside.

Plenty of housing options in Queens 

Housing for sale in Queens might be expensive and out of your price range. But that shouldn’t be the “be all to end” all for you. So it’s important to explore all your options. 

The good news is that Sunnyside does have a wide range of prices for homes, while you’re close to a ton of amenities and attractions. The median condo sold price in Sunnyside as of July 2024 was $692,410 – which is less expensive compared to Astoria and Long Island City. As for co-ops, it was $318,500 in July 2024, with an abundance of co-op supply.

If you are looking for a single-family home, apartment, or condo, you might find one that fits you best in Sunnyside. 

There’s a strong sense of community 

Queens is known for its strong sense of community. This may be one more good reason why to buy an apartment in Sunnyside. You’ll be meeting with people from different cultures and walks of life. 

They are friendly, diverse, and always make people feel welcome. You can even take part in the local events and activities that take place all year long. Who says you have to travel to Manhattan to have all the fun? 

If condos may not be the best option, buying a co-op in Sunnyside may be a great alternative. Co-ops have stricter rules and regulations compared to condos, but are more affordable than other real estate options.  

If you do have a bit of money off to the side, it may be enough to snag an apartment for sale in Sunnyside. 

Ease of access 

The ease of access from Sunnyside to the entire city is within reach. The neighborhood has about three different subway stations, including 52nd St and 46 St. – Bliss St. You’ll be able to utilize the subway to go just about anywhere in New York City. 

Even better, you can also take the subway to Grand Central where you can hop on a commuter rail that will take you to points beyond New York City including Westchester County and Connecticut. 

There’s also Amtrak and Long Island Rail that will help you get from point A to point B, whatever the destination is for you. With so many transportation options, you might get a little overwhelmed with where you want to go. 

By the way, Queens is also home to two major airports – LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy. Either airport may suit you best, especially Kennedy with its direct connection to plenty of international destinations. 

Summary 

Sunnyside may be one of the best neighborhoods in Queens. You’d be hard-pressed to find an apartment that will make you feel like you’re right at home. If you are looking for that dream place to live, you can contact a real estate agent that knows the area well.

Why is the real estate market in Queens worthwhile to explore?

By Annie Newman

When buyers and investors think of New York City and its boroughs, they often imagine or assume that the homes or apartments for sale are small and lack the quiet qualities of suburbs. Houses for sale in Queens may just be a great surprise for anyone involved in the real estate market in New York. One of the special qualities of this New York City borough is that it includes many regions that have quiet towns with single family homes that are incredibly spacious and spread out in comparison to the big city life or to the overly urbanized landscapes of other boroughs in the area. Long Island is an area that is adjacent to Queens and offers this small town lifestyle that is rare to find in a populous metropolitan area. If the borough of Queens would be a city, it would be considered the 4th most populated city in the United States. It offers a high quality of life, big backyards, shopping and entertainment, as well a bustling economy. Amazon considered Queens among its top choices for headquarters in the borough. The two main airports of New York City are located in Queens, it is a great convenience to live next to the John F. Kennedy and La Guardia airports that are located there. Massive properties and mansions in Queens can be found scattered around the borough in popular towns or in more hidden and peaceful neighborhoods. One is more likely to find large homes and a suburban lifestyle in this huge borough.  It offers high end and luxurious settings for those who want to live near New York City without the pressures of big city daily life.

Homes for sale in Queens

Just like all New York City boroughs, Queens is located next to Manhattan, one of the most desirable and popular locations on earth and therefore it is common to find homes that vary in the higher price ranges. Unlike other boroughs though, Queens and Long Island offer spectacular homes for sale that are either brand new constructions or much more recently built compared to areas like Brooklyn that have buildings that often date from the post-war period. The apartments for sale in Queens as well as the houses there can offer a suburban type of life that cannot be found in Manhattan or in the busy districts of many New York City boroughs. The real estate in Queens is characterized by a much bigger variety of choices of home sizes and styles than other places around the Big Apple. The condos in Queens can be found on the market for lower prices than those in the more metropolitan districts but can be as beautiful and modern. Queens is so big and offers such varied types of cultural and economic facets that it is definitely worth being explored for your choice of a dream location.

Astoria is one typical neighborhood of Queens that offers the less intimidating types of buildings and architecture compared to Manhattan and Brooklyn. It includes less skyscrapers and high rise buildings and has a more familiar and warm environment to live in. The area is trendy and multicultural and offers different types of restaurants and entertainment venues. There are museums and other attractions for the local residents and tourists. It is the third most expensive neighborhood in the borough as it is becoming increasingly popular.

Houses for sale in Long Island

Even longtime residents of Manhattan and Brooklyn can be taken by surprise by the lush green and quiet homes that can be found in the Long Island region. Long Island homes for sale can range in the millions of dollars but are worth the investment especially for residents who want to raise a family in a region like New York that can be sometimes considered too densely populated or overwhelming as an environment to bring up children. Yet, it is not just families who can appreciate this area adjacent to Queens and close to Manhattan. The Long Island real estate market offers homes that are spacious in peaceful settings. The condos for sale are often situated in upscale settings. In Long Island, buyers and investors can find mansions for sale that would not even exist in Manhattan even with the available budget due to lack of space in the big city. The townhouses and homes in Long Island are especially large, luxurious and modern in comparison to many houses or apartment buildings inside the metropolis. Many residents who invest large amounts of money into homes in New York City complain about the lack of space for parking and recreation, while in Long Island, one can have a two or three car garage that fit comfortably in the design of the homes there. Even though it can be exciting to live in Manhattan or right across in downtown Brooklyn, there are many reasons to believe that it is advantageous to invest in a home in a place like Long Island that has all the suburban qualities of life yet so close to the great things that New York City has to offer and can be accessed so easily.

During the Covid Pandemic, areas such as Long Island and Queens saw less of an exodus of residents as its spacious towns offered less crowded buildings and a strong diversified economy. Many new contracts for properties were signed in Queens during and after the pandemic and it did not lose its attractive character. The future of the real estate market there is promising.

BARNES New York is here to help you choose the right neighborhood in Queens for your real estate project to buy your dream home, thanks to a great team of knowledgeable experts that are present to assist you in your investment goals.
