Paradise in Forest Hills

This is a spacious one bedroom in a beautiful, full time doorman building in Forest Hills Gardens. The units here are charming, the building itself looks like a castle and the commute into Manhattan is swifter than it appears on the map.

The neighborhood is a real neighborhood which has all of the Manhattan conveniences over on Austin street, without all of the pollution and congestion.
I can open your eyes to the wonders of NYC. There is more than one borough to live in and enjoy. Just ask me about the other options for less money than Manhattan as well!

The Changing Market for Rentals

Even with a host of new rental developments over the last three years, at a time where high construction costs are making developers turn to new condominiums, there is a dwindling supply of rental units in the city right now. Many of the buildings you see are converting to condominium or co-operatives. We lost over a quarter of a million rental units in 2006 to this type of conversion.
Finding adequate housing is tougher than ever due to this alone. Coupled with the increase in population due to new hires, relocations, births, etc., you can see the dilema. Where are we all going to live? There are more new condominiums going up in Manhattan than anywhere in the world except China.

Here is a snapshot of the average current market rents as of today.
