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. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 2 - **Baths**: 1 - **Rooms**: 5 - **Stories**: 5 - **Year Built**: 1922 - **Common Charges**: $1,196.01 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Sep 10, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 1 Days ### Residence Features - Common On Floor - See Remarks - Building Garden - Built-in Features - Recessed Lighting - Dishwasher - Stainless Steel Appliance(s) - Hardwood - Garden ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales One apartment at The Chateau has a recorded sale since September 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 The median closed price for comparable co-op two-bedroom sales in Jackson Heights is $583,000, based on 42 sales between September 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $775,000, $192,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $475,750 and $647,996. - **Median closed price**: $583,000 - **Middle half**: $475,750 – $647,996 - **Based on**: 42 co-op two-bedroom sales in Jackson Heights - **Period**: September 2024 – June 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 13 of these 42 sales (31%), 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. Across the 38 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.3% of what it originally asked. 76% of them closed below the original ask. 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 - **Sold vs original ask**: 97.3% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 76% of 38 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 95 days (about 14 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 84 days (about 12 weeks) Across the 38 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.3% of what it originally asked. 76% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 95 days (about 14 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 40 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 84 days (about 12 weeks), based on the 40 with both dates recorded. A co-op board package and its interview account for much of that. 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. Based on 42 co-op two-bedroom sales in Jackson Heights, September 2024 – June 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median sold price for co-op two-bedroom sales in Jackson Heights, 2017 to 2025. The series is held to one bedroom count and one ownership type for the same reason: an unfiltered median tracks which apartments sold, not what they were worth. | Year | Median sold price | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $525,000 | 11 | | 2018 | $607,500 | 14 | | 2019 | $523,750 | 18 | | 2021 | $550,000 | 33 | | 2022 | $552,500 | 20 | | 2023 | $547,500 | 22 | | 2024 | $510,000 | 17 | | 2025 | $565,000 | 27 | This building does not have enough sales with a recorded floor area to chart its own price per square foot, which is usual for a co-op. The series above follows comparable homes across Jackson Heights instead. 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.
