Now that 2024 is behind us, I wanted to take a look at some of the significant house sales in Forest Hills. The biggest takeaway; sale prices remain strong and are growing for houses.
There are some new high prices for specific types of homes and some real growth in value of homes in Parkside; which includes the parts of Forest Hills south of Queens Blvd not part of Forest Hills Gardens or Van Court.
Both the FH Gardens and Cord Meyer continue to be amongst the most valuable properties in Queens while Van Court also shows growth.
