Homes in Queens— NYC’s largest and most diverse borough— are as multifaceted as the residents that call it home. Whether you’re looking for a classic co-op, a contemporary condo, or a starter studio, there’s plenty to choose from without the need for a million-dollar budget. So if you’re craving the coziness of Sunnyside, the serenity of Forest Hills, or the liveliness and creativity of Astoria, these five charismatic Queens homes under $750K highlight some of the best that the borough has to offer.
In Astoria, this 1-bedroom abode with south-facing views stuns with its wide plank oak floors, oversized windows, high ceilings, and sleek finishes. The open kitchen is furnished with integrated appliances, contemporary wood cabinets, and a beautifully tiled backsplash. Two large windows usher an abundance of natural light into the bedroom, while the spa-like bathroom is fully tiled in grey stone slab tiling, accompanied by a floating vanity, heated floors, and a smart toilet. The 548-square-foot condo also features central air conditioning and an in-unit washer and dryer.
This light-filled studio in Sunnyside makes for the perfect starter home. Located on the top floor of a six story post-war building, the apartment offers a graciously sized living area, a cozy eat-in kitchen with plenty of cabinets, and a large walk-in closet with built-in shelves. The windows overlook the neighborhood playground and two additional closets provide extra storage space. The windowed bathroom has a classic white design and was recently given a modest revamp.
With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms spanning 1,150 square feet, you get plenty of space to spread out at this classic co-op in Rego Park. Its open-concept layout features dark walnut floors throughout, large windows, a spacious living room, and a private balcony with views of the Manhattan skyline. The primary bedroom is an en-suite that can fit a king-sized bed and has a windowed bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom is just as large, with two windows that allow for ample natural light. The windowed kitchen is outfitted with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and contemporary appliances. The apartment is soundproof for optimal convenience and provides four closets throughout.
This light-filled home in Woodside is warm and welcoming, featuring serene shades of white and beige, soaring ceilings, and pale oak floors. You get 522 square feet of interior space and an impressive 533 square feet of outdoor space that includes a balcony and a private terrace. The kitchen is decorated with stylish two-tone cabinetry and integrated appliances, while the living room is large enough to host a small dining area. The bedroom is picture-perfect with a pair of windows that frame views of the neighborhood and the bathroom is elegantly finished with stone tiling, a floating vanity, and a huge vanity mirror with a built-in storage shelf.
And finally, head to Forest Hills, where a nearly 700-square-foot 1-bedroom can be yours for a modest price. Its open layout provides everything one might need, with large open spaces, lots of natural light, high ceilings, recessed lighting, and dark wood floors. There’s an L-shaped kitchen with a subway tiled backsplash, sleek wood cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and a pantry.
