A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Milana 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.
The Milana is an eight-story condominium on 70th Avenue between Austin Street and Queens Boulevard. Its apartments range from compact studios to three-bedroom penthouses with multiple private outdoor spaces. Parking and storage are separately defined condominium interests, with some homes selling together with those additional lots.
The Attorney General accepted the new-construction offering in August 2014, and it became effective that December. The current city roll carries 23 residential lots. The building's relatively small residential inventory shares elevator access within the central Forest Hills apartment district.
The location places the building near both the Forest Hills–71st Avenue subway station and the Forest Hills Long Island Rail Road station. Austin Street provides the immediate retail corridor, while Queens Boulevard lies at the other end of the block.
Architecture and unit composition
The building has approximately 50 feet of frontage and extends deeply into its lot. Its eight-story form accommodates substantially different apartment sizes. Studios in the recorded inventory are around 500 square feet, and one-bedroom apartments commonly have approximately 760 to 850 square feet.
Larger penthouses occupy a separate size category, around 1,450 square feet. Three-bedroom arrangements include multiple bathrooms and private balconies or terraces. Some penthouse sales have included a roof terrace, garage space and storage as part of the purchase package.
Balconies also occur among the smaller apartments. A documented one-bedroom layout has a long living room opening toward its private balcony. Open kitchens, stainless-steel appliances and wood flooring appear across the inventory, with central air and in-unit laundry among the apartment systems.
The original offering created twelve parking units, ten storage units and two commercial units alongside the residences. Those categories explain the substantial nonresidential lot inventory. The number of condominium tax lots is consequently much greater than the number of homes.
Building operations
Elevator service, bicycle storage and the garage support the residential floors. Entry uses an intercom system. The roof deck is part of the building's outdoor-space offering, while some upper-floor homes also have private rooftop areas.
Parking and storage may be conveyed with an apartment, but they are separate interests in the original condominium structure. An apartment offered with a garage space and storage should be evaluated as that specific ownership package; another home in the building may be sold without them.
The 15-year capped 421-a benefit began in 2017 and remains active on the 2027 roll. The largest residential owner currently holds one home. The tax benefit and the presence of individual rentals are separate questions from the distribution of ownership.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $858/sf (floor-adjusted) across 3 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.4% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

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.
