Fresh Meadows Real Estate: Rent, Sell, Manage & Invest
Fresh Meadows is a green, low-key neighborhood in northeast Queens, defined by its landmark garden-apartment development, mature trees and parkland. NY Online Realty helps you rent, sell, manage, or invest here.
Living in Fresh Meadows
Fresh Meadows is anchored by the landmark Fresh Meadows housing development, built by MetLife in the late 1940s as a model garden community and still known for its lawns, mature trees and mix of towers and low-rise garden apartments. Cunningham Park and the Kissena Corridor give the area an unusually parklike, suburban setting for the city.
St. John's University anchors the western edge, while the Horace Harding Expressway service roads and Union Turnpike carry local traffic. There's no subway, but the Q65, Q88, Q17 and express buses handle commutes, and the F train at 179th Street is a short bus ride away. Housing ranges from garden-apartment co-ops and rentals to solid single-family colonials and capes on the side streets.
The Fresh Meadows market, in plain terms
Fresh Meadows is a stable, family-oriented northeast Queens market where the garden-apartment co-ops and single-family streets both hold steady demand. Its parkland, suburban feel and proximity to St. John's keep interest strong, turnover is moderate, and co-ops and two-family homes appeal to investors seeking dependable tenants.
