Queens just might be NYC’s best borough to live in. It’s incredibly diverse, contains a wide variety of neighborhoods, and offers better affordability than its counterparts. There’s plenty to do as well, from catching a Mets game to checking out MoMA PS1 or simply enjoying one of its many parks. It’s also one of the few places in the city where the housing stock offers everything from prewar co-ops to beach bungalows. This week, we’re smitten with Queens and checking out the borough’s best homes for under $800K.
With more than 1,100 square feet of space, this 2-bedroom is expansive, flooded with light, and beautifully renovated. If you love cooking, you’ll love the large kitchen featuring a massive quartz island, lots of custom cabinets, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. The primary bedroom has not one but two(!!) walk-in closets, and there’s a spacious terrace just outside the living room offering stellar views of the neighborhood.
A seven-story building in Long Island City houses this pristine 1-bedroom, offering floor-to-ceiling picture windows, wide plank floors, and an airy layout.

The bathroom is spa-quality and showcases full stone tiling, recessed lighting, and a deep soaking tub.

The best part: the boardwalk and beach is just a block away, making it easy to enjoy coastal living.
