## Property Overview

Looking for a spacious two-bedroom in the heart of the Jackson Heights Historic District, with classic prewar details, a renovated kitchen, and easy access to the building’s patio and lush common garden just outside your door? Welcome to 34-38 81st Street #1, an elegant two-bedroom, one-bathroom co-op in one of Jackson Heights’ iconic Chateau buildings.

Set on a raised first floor with three exposures, this gracious home combines wonderful prewar character with thoughtful modern updates. A grand entry foyer introduces the apartment’s generous proportions, including 9-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, detailed moldings, and a separate formal dining room.

The spacious living room is filled with light from large east- and north-facing windows. A classic fireplace flanked by custom cabinetry creates a beautiful focal point and adds warmth and character to the main living space.

The unusually large renovated kitchen is a standout. Brightened by two north-facing windows, it offers abundant custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a tiled backsplash, and plenty of room to cook and entertain. The renovated bathroom features updated tile, vanity, lighting, and fixtures.

Both bedrooms are well proportioned with ample closet space and overlook the Chateau’s expansive interior garden, offering peaceful western and northern views and a wonderful sense of privacy.

The Chateau is one of Jackson Heights’ most distinctive garden apartment complexes, consisting of a dozen handsome brick buildings—each operating as an individual co-op—surrounding a beautifully renovated interior garden, with manicured landscaping along 80th and 81st Streets. Designed by renowned architect Andrew J. Thomas in 1922, the Chateau buildings feature French Renaissance-inspired architecture, including slate mansard roofs, Flemish-bond brick façades, and stately limestone entrances.

34-38 81st Street offers an on-site superintendent and basement laundry facilities. A private storage bin is included with the apartment at no additional charge. Cats are welcome, and dogs under 50 pounds are permitted with board approval. A monthly assessment of $867.19 is currently in place through March 2027 for lintel work. The building has a 2% flip tax.

The location puts you in the heart of everything that makes Jackson Heights special. Less than a block away is Paseo Park, the 26-block-long 34th Avenue Open Street, with pedestrian space, bike lanes, and community events. Nearby Travers Park offers a playground, sports courts, and a popular year-round greenmarket. Shopping along 37th Avenue and Jackson Heights’ extraordinary international dining scene are just minutes away.

Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Citi Field, and the new NYCFC stadium complex are all nearby. Convenient access to the 7, E, F, M, and R trains, multiple bus lines, the BQE, and LaGuardia Airport makes getting around the city—and beyond—easy.

## Sales and market data

### Recent sales

One apartment at The Chateau has a recorded sale since October 2021, the most recent for $1,250,000 in February 2025. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices.

| Unit | Beds | Sold Price | Sold | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 31 (Apartment) | 4 | $1,250,000 | February 3, 2025 | City record · MLS |

Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below.

### How this price compares

- **This home**: $775,000
- **Median sold price**: $583,000
- **Difference**: +$192,000 (+32.9%)
- **Comparable sales**: 42
- **Sales from**: October 2024 – August 2026
- **Middle half of those sales**: $475,750 – $647,996

Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Jackson Heights.

Square footage is recorded for only 14 of these 42 sales (33%), so no price per square foot is shown for this group. Co-op sales rarely carry a floor area, and a figure drawn from a handful of them would not describe the rest.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Jackson Heights instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 97.7% (38 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 74% (38 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 84 days (40 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 84 days (40 sales)

Based on co-op two-bedroom sales in Jackson Heights with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

### Price trend

Based on recorded co-op two-bedroom sales in Jackson Heights.

Sales data through August 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

## Property Taxes

This apartment is part of a co-op that is taxed as one lot shared across 11 apartments. The corporation’s 2026 property tax bill was $68,913 for the whole building. Shareholders cover it through their monthly maintenance rather than a separate bill for this unit.
