A Forest Hills midcentury condominium surrounded by a community of medical professionals
Situated along the main corridor of Queens Boulevard between the Long Island Expressway and Jackie Robinson Parkway, Park Manor finds itself in a neighborhood saturated with hospitals and doctors' offices. (There are so many nearby practices that it is difficult not to name off in a list-like fashion; they include but are not limited to Long Island Jewish, Mount Sinai Doctors, NewYork -Presbyterian and Summit Health.) In addition to all the practices on the ground floor units of the building, the complex is home to many medical professionals working in the area. “Buying at Park Manor is a great way to tap into a well-established medical community,” says Ariel Cohen, broker at Douglas Elliman. Cohen, who has sold two medical offices on the ground floor, says buying here is a long-term investment “in the right location and in the right market.”
Spacious layouts with salon-like foyers and gratuitously spacious living rooms
The condominium comprises 157 residences spanning six stories. Because the building was designed in 1959, some units have been gut-renovated. Even so, most of the revamped residences have preserved the midcentury-designed layouts, which, besides having more square footage than new builds, also tend to have elements like salon-like foyers, galley-style kitchens, formal dining rooms, spacious living rooms and ample deep closets. Many units also feature a private terrace. Studios start at 500 square feet; the last purchase closed at $385,000 in September 2024. One- and two-bedrooms are more common, ranging from 750 to 1,000 square feet; the last transaction netted $402,000 in December 2023. Three-bedrooms are less common and start at 1,150 square feet; the latest sale closed at $775,000 in February 2024. Four bedrooms result from combination units and, therefore, are few and far between. The grandest listing, a penthouse on the seventh floor with two private terraces, a 40-foot by 20-foot living room and an eat-in kitchen with a walk-in pantry, closed in September 2024 $1.6 million.
Elegantly modest amenities, including a parking garage
Park Manor is a full-service condominium with a 24-hour door attendant, a live-in superintendent and maintenance staff. As with all midcentury buildings, the amenities aren’t stacked like in new luxury high-rise developments, but there are some that make daily living more convenient. On the lower level, there is a community laundry room, bike room and rentable personal storage (currently waitlisted). The most favored amenity is probably the parking garage run by a third-party vendor, and surprisingly, spaces are available.
The fine print
Monthly common charges and taxes are low. For example, a recently listed studio for $358,000 has $258 in common charges and $277 in taxes.
A centrally located Queens neighborhood with lush lawns and stunning Tudor architecture
Forrest Hills is the best of both worlds; it’s suburbia, but in the city. This oxymoronic makeup comprises residential side streets with lush lawns juxtaposed with bustling avenues with chain stores, mom-and-pop shops and a hodgepodge of restaurants. Queens Boulevard bisects the neighborhood, offering two kinds of living: urban apartment developments on one side and Tudor-style houses in the private development known as Forest Hills Gardens (which, arguably, has some of the most stunning architecture in New York) on the other. The housing typologies are diverse, ranging from prewar cooperatives to wood-frame, single-family homes to colonial mansions. Regardless of habitation, it is safe to assume that many residents own cars. Meanwhile, this centrally located Queens neighborhood is also known for its many green spaces, including Flushing Meadows-Corona Park and Forest Park; both have running tracks, dog parks, basketball courts, baseball fields and skateparks. (Forest Park also has a nine-hole public golf course.) Plus, it is widely known that the neighborhood has a tradition of tennis, thanks to Forest Hills Stadium hosting the U.S. Open until 1978. The area’s West Side Tennis Club and both public parks are outfitted with immaculate grass courts.
Just around the corner from 67th Avenue Station
Residents can walk outside the lobby and around the corner to the 67th Avenue Station, which provides access to the M and R lines. Another option is the LIRR Forrest Hills station, which is 3/4 of a mile west along Queens Boulevard. Furthermore, living just off Queens Boulevard makes car travel convenient with the Long Island Expressway, Grand Central Parkway, Jackie Robinson Parkway and Van Eyck Expressway nearby. In a nutshell, commuting to Midtown isn’t too bad, but downtown Manhattan can be a bit of schlep.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
