Diverse residential area within quick driving distance of Manhattan
Located in northwest Queens, East Elmhurst offers convenience to New York’s busier areas while maintaining a residential feel. “One of the main draws is that homeowners can drive to most parts of the city, including Manhattan, in 20 minutes,” says Elias Borjas, a resident and expert agent with Empire Fine Homes. The neighborhood lies just south of the recently refurbished LaGuardia Airport, and Grand Central Parkway runs along East Elmhurst’s northern edge. With proximity to especially diverse Astoria and Jackson Heights—though less bustling—the area has a similar multicultural demographic and food scene. While its detached and semi-detached homes create a quiet residential atmosphere, vibrant restaurants and bars along Northern Boulevard showcase the many flavors and cultures in the neighborhood’s community.
East Elmhurst is a quiet part of Queens, and a peaceful place to live in.

Prewar detached and semi-detached homes with ample parking
Streets with old-growth elms are lined with Tudor, Greek Revival and Art Deco detached and semi-detached homes, ranging from $770,000 to $1.3 million. Many have porches and basement-level garages. There are a few brick rowhomes as well. “Properties north of Astoria Boulevard are slightly larger than those to the south,” says agent Alejandra Fermin, Borjas’s wife and business partner. “Homebuyers are drawn to these areas because there aren’t as many big buildings.” The few large postwar co-op complexes in the area are located closer to Jackson Heights. One-bedroom units fetch between $140,000 and $250,000. A handful of new development condos along Northern Boulevard hover around the $500,000 mark. While convenience and connectivity are priorities for East Elmhurst residents (especially commuters), they also benefit from more space than denser parts of the city — allowing for more parking. “With most properties having their own driveways, there’s much more street parking than in other areas,” Fermin says.

The neighborhood is within walking distance of Citi Field baseball stadium–home of the New York Mets–and the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, which hosts the U.S. Open every September.

It's nice and quiet here. There is a pretty good amount of diversity in the community. Neighbors are respectful and kind. When I first moved here there were great people that make us feel welcome, not that this is my home.

East Elmhurst is becoming expensive to live in. Many people from Astoria and the city are moving to these areas because of the cost. But this makes things harder for the people who have lived there for years. Rent and cost of living are increased in these areas. East Elmhurst is diverse and has a good nightlife. But you also need to be careful of the new population that has arrived to these areas.
