Rental units across northwest Queens maintained an upward trend in median rental price year-over-year in October 2025, while the number of new leases increased for the first time since June, according to a report<\/a> by Douglas Elliman Real Estate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The median rental price in northwest Queens, which includes the neighborhoods of Astoria<\/a>,\u00a0Long Island City<\/a>,\u00a0Sunnyside<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Woodside<\/a>, went up 7.4%, from $3,350 in October 2024 to $3,598 in October 2025. This rental metric rose more than twice as fast as the 3% inflation rate in the United States.<\/p>\n

For the first time in four months, the number of new leases signed went up year-over-year. There was a 3.7% increase, from 723 in October 2024 to 750 in October 2025.\n<\/p>\n

Over the same period of time, the listing inventory across northwest Queens experienced a large jump. Inventory went up 26.3%, from 938 in October 2024 to 1,185 in October 2025.\n<\/p>\n

The upward trajectories in median rental price and new leases were largely reflected in the trends among each type of rental unit.\n<\/p>\n

Studios had median rent go up 2.8%, from $2,995 in 2024 to $3,080 in 2025. Additionally, new leases of these units went up 1.8%, from 113 last year to 115 this year.\n<\/p>\n

One-bedroom units experienced a 10.5% increase in median rent, rising from $3,100 in 2024 to $3,425 in 2025. New leases climbed 8.5%, from 342 last year to 371 this year.\n<\/p>\n

Two-bedroom units had the only outlier compared to the overall trends of median rent and new leases. Like the other apartments, the median rent rose among two-bedroom units, having increased 9.6%, from $3,995 in 2024 to $4,337 in 2025. However, unlike with the other unit types, the number of new leases went down over this period of time. New leases decreased 2.2%, from 229 last year to 224 this year.<\/p>\n

Three-bedroom units returned to reflecting the overall trends. The median rent for these units jumped 17.1%, from $4,250 in 2024 to $4,975 in 2025. The number of new leases climbed 2.6%, from 39 last year to 40 this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The median rent and number of new leases increased year-over-year in October 2025 across northwest Queens.
