Homes
in Forest Hills.

The numbers here cover Forest Hills together with Rego Park: 57,818 homes in 9,501 residential buildings. Elevator buildings hold 64 percent of those homes, many of them along Queens Boulevard and the streets beside it, and 40 percent are co-op apartments. Houses for one or two families account for 18 percent, the Tudor style houses of Forest Hills Gardens among them, and condominiums for 12 percent, while walk-ups are rare at 5 percent. This is a postwar place more than a prewar one: buildings finished before 1940 hold 22 percent of homes, and 1950 is the median year built; the median home's building has 6 floors.

Most pickups in Forest Hills and Rego Park begin in a lobby, since elevator buildings hold 64 percent of homes, and because the median home is in a building of 6 floors, the ride down is a short one. Co-op buildings often send vendors to a service entrance within set hours, so write those hours and the super's name under Building access on the pickup tag. In Forest Hills Gardens and on the house blocks of Rego Park, give the floor the rug is on and say which door you want us to use.
