Southern Queens neighborhood close to parks and shopping
Just over the fence from John F. Kennedy International Airport is Springfield Gardens. This southern Queens neighborhood weaves modest single- and multi-family homes into an area surrounded by parks and highways that connect to the rest of the city. Caribbean restaurants on Springfield Garden’s main roads create a distinct food scene, and just 2 miles east is one of New York City’s biggest malls. “It’s a neighborhood that give you a lot in terms of shopping, restaurants, activities and for investing in a home where you can live in one part and rent out the other,” says Chimeodo Uche, a Springfield Gardens resident and associate broker for ERA Top Service Realty with over 20 years of experience. “Many lots are 40-feet by 100-feet, and the zoning allows for a lot of multi-family homes.”

Multi-family homes starting in the $600,000s
The primarily residential streets of Springfield Gardens are lined with a typical mix of suburban-Queens housing styles, from pre-war and mid-century vinyl or brick colonials and bungalows, to gray-brick new traditional style houses built in the 2000s. Across these styles, prices range from $500,000 to $800,000. The area’s many multi-family homes — typically duplexes on the south side around Belt Parkway — tend to be simple and boxy, and range from $600,000 to $1.3 million, depending on size and age. These multi-family homes are popular with people who want to live in one part and rent out the other for additional income, as well as people sharing space. “The growing trend is family members joining forces to be able to purchase a home,” Uche says. “I’ve even seen situations where friends come together to buy a home.”
Springfield Gardens is mostly made up of single-family homes.
Multi-family homes are spread all over Springfield Gardens.
