Welcome to Queens
Queens is the most diverse borough in New York City, and that diversity is reflected in its neighborhoods, culture, and housing. With average home prices ranging between $500,000 and $700,000 depending on the area, Queens offers a wide range of affordability and property types—from single-family homes in Bayside and Forest Hills to condos and co-ops in Long Island City and Flushing. The median household income sits in the mid-$60,000 range, and the average age of residents is similar to other boroughs, falling in the low to mid-30s. Queens is a favorite for families and first-time homebuyers looking for more space and a strong sense of community. It's also a major destination for international cuisine, with Astoria, Jackson Heights, and Flushing serving up authentic dishes from nearly every culture. Residents and visitors enjoy access to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park (home of the US Open), the Queens Botanical Garden, the Museum of the Moving Image, and Citi Field where the Mets play. Queens balances big-city living with a more residential, suburban feel, offering something for nearly every lifestyle.
