A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at 10 Holder Place would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
10 Holder Place was built as The Greenway, a Tudor Revival apartment house within Forest Hills Gardens. Completed in 1930, it organized substantial apartments around a landscaped courtyard and garden. The approach through a gated entrance and the paneled lobby make the shared arrival sequence an important part of the building's design.
Historical records credit architect Benjamin Braunstein and document a first-place design award from the Queens Chamber of Commerce. The original project contained 43 apartments, including two large penthouses. City records count 44 residences.
The building sits within the privately managed Forest Hills Gardens street system. Its setting and architectural controls are separate from NYC landmark designation: the tax lot is not LPC-designated. For an owner, exterior changes and street-parking arrangements still intersect with the Gardens' own framework.
Architecture and unit composition
Brick, stone accents and a pronounced Tudor composition connect the building to the surrounding Gardens streetscape. Original promotional material emphasized steel casement windows. The courtyard creates inward-facing exposures and a planted outlook for apartments on that side of the building.
The residential inventory includes sizable one-bedroom homes, two-bedrooms with formal dining rooms and larger three-bedroom layouts. Foyers, windowed kitchens, high or beamed ceilings and substantial closets recur. Some homes have garden-facing bedrooms while their principal living rooms face in another direction.
Large apartments can exceed 2,000 square feet and include multiple bathrooms, formal dining rooms and separate sunrooms. Smaller homes preserve some of the same prewar room divisions on a reduced footprint. The original penthouses add another layout type to the building.
Fireplaces appear in selected apartments, with some described as decorative. They're an architectural feature, not permission to use them. Individual renovations have also changed kitchen arrangements and the connection between dining rooms and living rooms.
Building operations
The elevator, central laundry facilities and storage serve a building of fewer than 50 residences. The landscaped courtyard and garden form common property, creating a recurring maintenance obligation as well as a shared outdoor amenity. Garden-facing windows are part of the appeal of the inward-facing layouts.
The cooperative operates within Forest Hills Gardens, where private-street access and parking follow neighborhood rules. An apartment purchase should be distinguished from a separately granted right to park on those streets. The short distance to the Forest Hills LIRR station is a further practical aspect of the address.
The building's tax lot is Class 2 and has no identified development abatement. Its built floor area exceeds the present R3-2 residential allowance, reflecting the substantial apartment house that already occupies this low-rise zoning district.

Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk.

At the recent median sale of $1.05M (5 transfers since 2024), a buyer putting 25% down would pay about $22,988 to close, or 2.2% of the price.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
