East Flushing offers single-family living in New York City

As you move from Flushing-Willets Point to East Flushing, the atmosphere shifts to an almost-suburban vibe. Subway stations disappear, single-family homes fill entire blocks and cars sit in driveways and garages. Still, East Flushing’s compact layout means locals can walk to restaurants on 162nd Street or supermarkets on Kissena Boulevard. This Queens neighborhood offers single-family homes for those who don’t want to give up the conveniences of the city.

A look at homes and prices in East Flushing

East Flushing’s street grid is largely made up of small single-family homes and duplexes. Some houses date back more than 100 years, and a stroll down a sidewalk reveals decades of architectural styles, including American Foursquare, bungalow and Dutch Colonial. Patches of grass serve as front yards, and homes often come with driveways. Prices start in the lower $800,000s and climb to $1.5 million. Some multifamily homes have sold for even more. High interest from transplants and investors has driven up home prices, says Wayne Rose, a Flushing-based associate broker at Century Homes Realty Group. "When a two-family house is going for $2 million or more, these numbers are shocking if you've been in the business for 30 years." Condo and apartment communities cluster on the north and west sides, closer to the train stations at Flushing-Main Street, Murray Hill and Broadway. Most recent condo sales range from the upper $400,000s to the upper $600,000s.
