Now with a Brand-New, Fully Renovated Kitchen! Bright, Spacious One-Bedroom with Oversized Balcony in the Heart of Rego Park! Brand-new kitchen. Open Manhattan views. Sun-drenched from morning to night. This generously sized one-bedroom on the 8th floor of a full-service, doorman co-op in prime Rego Park has just been beautifully renovated, and it shows. Step inside and the first thing you'll notice is the brand-new, windowed kitchen, a true showstopper and the heart of this transformation. Stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, over-the-range microwave, and dishwasher, are set against beautiful quartz countertops. No detail was overlooked: the crisp white shaker-style cabinetry extends all the way to the ceiling with elegant crown molding, maximizing storage while giving the room an elevated, custom-built feel you won't find in a typical renovation. Finished with brushed nickel hardware and new tile flooring, it's a space designed for everything from quick weekday breakfasts to hosting friends for dinner. The bathroom has also been refreshed with a new shower door, adding a clean, modern touch throughout. Beyond the kitchen, the open layout allows for seamless living and dining, with natural light streaming in from dual exposures throughout the day. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers abundant closet space, so everything has its place and the home stays organized and clutter-free. Step out onto the expansive balcony that runs the full width of the apartment, your own private outdoor retreat in the sky, complete with Manhattan views. With no tall buildings blocking the skyline, sunlight pours in unobstructed, spilling across the balcony and straight through into the living room and bedroom. Your plants will thrive here, and so will you: picture morning coffee with the sun coming up over the city, or evenings spent unwinding as the skyline lights to the side of you. This well-maintained building offers a suite of amenities that elevate daily living: a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, two convenient laundry rooms, a playground, bike room, and available parking and storage options. Commuting is effortless with the E, M, F, and R trains close by, along with local bus service, and you'll be just steps from vibrant shops, food shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizing, or simply looking for a beautifully updated home in a well-run building, this apartment is ready to welcome you in. Come see the difference for yourself; this is not the same apartment it was before. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Co-op - **Beds**: 1 - **Baths**: 1 - **Rooms**: 3 - **Stories**: 15 - **Year Built**: 1960 - **Common Charges**: $834 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Jul 6, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 62 Days ### Residence Features - Wall Unit(s) - Building Washer Dryer Install Allowed - Common Area - Building Storage - Balcony - Private Outdoor Space Under 60 Sqft - Kitchen Window ## Sales Evidence ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable co-op one-bedroom sales in Forest Hills is $344,000, based on 25 sales between September 2024 and June 2026. This home is asking $319,000, $25,000 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $310,000 and $380,000. - **Median closed price**: $344,000 - **Middle half**: $310,000 – $380,000 - **Based on**: 25 co-op one-bedroom sales in Forest Hills - **Period**: September 2024 – June 2026 Square footage is recorded for only 11 of these 25 sales (44%), 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 23 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 94.7% of what it originally asked. 74% 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 Forest Hills instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 94.7% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 74% of 23 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 86 days (about 12 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 85 days (about 12 weeks) Across the 23 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 94.7% of what it originally asked. 74% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 86 days (about 12 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 23 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 85 days (about 12 weeks), based on the 23 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 25 co-op one-bedroom sales in Forest Hills, 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 one-bedroom sales in Forest Hills, 2018 to 2026. 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 | | --- | --- | --- | | 2018 | $316,000 | 14 | | 2022 | $350,250 | 12 | | 2024 | $335,402 | 12 | | 2025 | $337,500 | 14 | | 2026 | $345,000 | 10 | 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 Forest Hills 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. ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$2,447 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($63,800), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term. The page's calculator lets a buyer change all three. - **Principal & Interest**: $1,613 - **Common Charges**: $834 Estimates only. Actual payments may vary.
