Residential community near St. John’s University
Named for its once pastoral landscapes, Fresh Meadows encapsulates a suburban atmosphere in the eastern part of Queens. The multigenerational families and St. John’s University students that comprise the neighborhood have sought out the Queens neighborhood for its tranquil feel within New York City and its proximity to green spaces and highly rated schools. “Fresh Meadows is a primarily residential neighborhood,” says Stephanie Lim McNeil, an associate real estate broker at FILO Real Estate Group, who grew up around the neighborhood. “People move to the area because it has a good school district.” Additionally, Fresh Meadows residents have access to convenient thoroughfares and are located adjacent to the 358-acre Cunningham Park, which provides expansive recreational spaces.
Fresh Meadows is a primarily residential neighborhood with great dining and shopping area.

Garden-style co-ops and million-dollar, single-family homes
Fresh Meadows has a mix of single-family and multifamily homes, as well as garden-style co-ops and some high-rise condos. Midcentury co-ops—found primarily on the eastern side of the neighborhood near Cunningham Park— have prices ranging from $205,000 to $329,000. On the western side, near Pearson Boulevard, condos start at $436,000 for a one-bedroom or just under $600,000 for a two-bedroom. “About 70 percent of inventory is single-family and multifamily homes,” Lim McNeil says. “The housing stock is a bit older, with homes built in the 1920s and ’30s, so a lot of homes need full renovations, but many people will just buy a house to knock it down and build something bigger.” Single-family homes, many of which have garages and 4,000 square feet, typically range from $1 million to $1.8 million. Brick-clad colonial-style homes near the park, many of which have been split into duplexes and get snagged up quickly, start around $930,000. Due to larger lots and the nearby college, homes here tend to hold their value.
Many apartments are in two bed one bath configurations for small families in Fresh Meadows.

Casual dining, central shopping centers along thoroughfares
Fresh Meadows is sandwiched between two major thoroughfares, Union Turnpike and Horace Harding Expressway, both of which are lined with shops, retailers and restaurants. Chain restaurants like Applebee’s and Five Guys, as well as several pizza shops, cluster along Horace Harding Expressway, and locals can pick up goods at Fresh Meadows Place, a shopping center with stores like CVS and Lidl. “The Union Turnpike strip has a lot of amenities people are looking for, like shops and gas stations,” Lim McNeil says. Blue Bay Diner on Francis Lewis Boulevard has old-school diner vibes, and BKNY Thai serves Bangkok-style Thai cuisine. For sweets and freshly-baked goods, residents visit Lulu’s Bakery. Grocery options include Fresh Meadows Food Mart.

Additional bus lines, including the Q30, Q31 and Q88, are available for travel to other destinations within the borough. Interstate 495, or The Long Island Expressway, is nearby for drivers, and the Grand Central Parkway is located at the neighborhood’s southern end.
