Clearview offers a quiet, park-like setting in northeast Queens

Clearview is a residential neighborhood in northeast Queens, right where the East River meets the Long Island Sound at the foot of the Throgs Neck Bridge. It offers a park-like feel in New York with a mix of single-family homes and co-ops that appeal to buyers across a range of price points. The community is known for its public golf course, with more green spaces and waterfront access that set it apart from other parts of the borough. Nearby Bayside adds a lively restaurant row and Long Island Rail Road stop, and living right next to the Clearview Expressway and Cross Island Parkway keeps you connected to the rest of the city.

From detached single-family homes to garden co-ops

Housing splits between detached single-family homes and garden-style co-ops. The single-family homes come in styles like Cape Cod, Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival, plus a handful of modern custom builds. In Clearview Gardens, you'll find one-, two- and three-bedroom co-op units with shared courtyards and all-inclusive monthly maintenance that covers real estate taxes, heat, water, gas and electricity, running roughly $1,000 to $1,300 depending on size. Detached homes typically sell from the mid-$900,000s to just over $1 million, with newer custom builds closer to $2 million. Co-ops run from the lower $200,000s to the mid-$400,000s.

Clearview's overall median lands in the mid-$300,000s, lower than in nearby Whitestone and Murray Hill-Broadway. That price point is a big part of the appeal. "Co-ops have a lower entry in terms of the income required to get a mortgage. In the area, homes often sell for over a million dollars, whereas with Clearview Gardens, you might pay more in the $300,000 to $400,000 range," says Dave Legaz, a real estate broker with The Legaz Team at Keller Williams Realty Landmark. “Queens is really a great spot, and in Clearview Gardens, you've got your own little gem inside the big city of Queens. It's definitely a park-like setting.”

Clearview’s major highways and express buses to Manhattan

Living next to the Cross Island Parkway and Clearview Expressway means you can hop over the Throgs Neck and Whitestone bridges into the Bronx. The drive into Manhattan runs about 16 miles, though it can take well over an hour in traffic. “It's mostly commuter traffic, which is basically what you're used to when you're in Queens,” Legaz says. “But it doesn't affect any of the co-ops. It's actually convenient to be that close to the Cross Island Parkway. And you have express buses that'll take you to Manhattan, or to downtown Flushing.” For transit, the QM2 express bus runs straight to Midtown, or you can catch a local bus to Flushing-Main Street and ride the 7 train to Hudson Yards. Nearby LIRR stops in Bayside and Auburndale connect you east into Long Island and west into Manhattan.

Public golf course near the East River’s waterfront parks

Outdoor space is a big part of Clearview’s appeal. There’s a public golf course right in the neighborhood and waterfront parks just a bit farther north. Residents spend time outside at:

  • Clearview Park Golf Course, an 18-hole course with a clubhouse
  • Little Bay Park, a riverfront hub with sunset views, bike paths and a dog park
  • Fort Totten Park, a historic waterfront green space with a pool and soccer fields
  • Willets Point Playground, a neighborhood spot with basketball courts and spray showers

Green space is easy to find in this corner of northeast Queens.
