Homes
in Bayside.

These numbers take in Bayside with Douglaston and Little Neck, at the northeast edge of Queens: 23,045 homes in 13,314 residential buildings, fewer than two homes to a building on average. Houses for one or two families hold 65 percent of the homes. Walk-ups hold 22 percent, many of them the low garden apartment co-ops of the area, and co-ops in all come to 17 percent. Elevator buildings account for 6 percent and condominiums for 4 percent. Most of the stock is postwar: 79 percent of homes are in buildings from 1940 or later, the median year built is 1952, and the median home's building has 2 floors.

Two in three homes here are houses, and the median home's building stands 2 floors tall, so most pickups start at a front door or a side door rather than in a lobby. Say which floor holds the rug, the basement included, and which door suits you. In a garden apartment co-op, say which building and entrance to look for, since a courtyard there can hold several doors that look alike.
