The price-to-size relationship of condo prices in Queens followed an inverted path in September 2026, with the price per square foot being significantly higher among condos smaller than 500 square feet compared to those over 2,500 square feet, according to a report by PropertyShark.
Condos sold in Queens that were less than 500 square feet cost $1,075 per square foot, which was the second-highest price among all the boroughs in New York City, trailing only Manhattan’s $1,300.
As the square footage of Queens condos increased, the price per square foot dropped. The largest condos sold in the borough, which are categorized as those that are more than 2,500 square feet, sold for just $305 per square foot.
One of the main contributing factors to smaller condos in Queens having a higher price per square foot was that these types of units came at a much higher premium. In addition to available stock, the price trends across each condo size were also determined by stronger preferences for smaller units in the borough, as well as the market performance and rebound from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since 2015, the price per square foot of condos in Queens rose 33%, from $688 in 2015 to $915 in 2025. The $227 jump marked the highest among the boroughs.
While condos in Queens under 500 square feet had the highest price per square foot, the most significant price gains occurred with the 169 condos that ranged in size from 2,000 to 2,500 square feet. The price per square foot for these condos rose 47% since 2015.
Overall, the median size of condos sold in Queens since 2015 was 779 square feet, which was slightly smaller than the 800-square-foot median size of all condos in the borough. Out of the 52 Queens neighborhoods analyzed in the study, 27 of them had units smaller than the median size of neighborhood condos. One of the few exceptions was Rockaway Park, where the median size of condos sold was 254 square feet larger than the neighborhood’s 800-square-foot median, at 1,054 square feet. Another notable outlier was Far Rockaway, with a median size of condos sold equating to 1,224 square feet, which was 132 square feet more than the neighborhood’s median size of 1,092 square feet.
Hunters Point had the highest median price per square foot among all Queens neighborhoods, at $1,307. Condos in the neighborhood that were under 500 square feet were the most expensive, at $1,498 per square foot. The cheapest condos in Hunters Point were those over 2,500 square feet, at $805 per square foot.
