A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Windsor at Forest Hills 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 Windsor is a 21-story condominium near Austin Street and the 71st Avenue transit hub. Built in 2005, it brings individually owned apartments and a staffed high-rise entrance to a part of Forest Hills with a substantial cooperative inventory. DOB's new-building filing identifies Ismael Leyva as the architectural applicant and specifies 95 residences.
The apartment mix includes one-bedroom homes, larger two-bedroom configurations and upper-floor residences with expanded interior areas. Broad windows and the height of the tower give selected homes long neighborhood and skyline outlooks. Shared outdoor facilities include both a patio and roof deck.
The building is also at a different tax stage from its original offering period. The residential 421-a program has ended, and the commercial ICIP/ICAP benefit has also expired. Buyers now evaluate the condominium after those time-limited benefits, with current taxes separate from common charges.
Architecture and unit composition
The Windsor rises above the surrounding Austin Street area in a tower form. Its lower floors sit within the neighborhood's commercial and residential street pattern, while upper apartments gain a wider outlook over lower buildings. The main residential plan repeats through much of the tower before changing in the upper portion.
One-bedroom homes in the transfer history include layouts around 720 square feet. Larger two-bedroom configurations commonly run above 1,100 square feet, and some upper-floor homes extend well beyond that. The recurring larger plans offer separate bedrooms, two bathrooms and living areas with room for dining.
Broad window groupings are an important feature of the interiors. Some homes have corner exposures, while others face primarily in one direction. Renovations have updated kitchens and baths across the resale inventory, with open kitchens and breakfast counters appearing in multiple homes. In-unit laundry is also present.
Penthouse and upper-floor layouts are not uniform in size. The transaction history includes smaller upper-level homes alongside substantially larger residences. Top floor alone says nothing about the interior square footage or room layout.
Building operations
The Windsor operates with a full-time doorman and concierge service. Resident facilities include a fitness center, playroom, recreation room, common outdoor patio and roof deck. The garage provides a separate parking component within the property.
The residential tax lots are broadly held: DOF identifies the largest recorded owner as holding two of 95 homes. Three additional lots are classified as commercial. These nonresidential interests are separate from the apartment inventory, although they remain part of the condominium's overall operating structure.
The 421-a program began in 2008 for a 15-year term and was last active on the 2023 roll. The commercial program began in 2009 and was last active on the 2024 roll. Neither program should be included as an ongoing benefit in a new owner's carrying-cost estimate.
The roof deck and patio give residents common outdoor areas at different levels of the building. They add usable shared space even for an apartment without a private balcony or terrace. Access to those facilities and any reservable use is governed by the condominium's rules.
Policy framework
Pets: Permitted, subject to limits on pet number and size — confirm with the managing agent.
In-unit laundry: Washer/dryers are present in the apartment inventory; alteration and replacement requirements should be confirmed with the managing agent.

The latest available FISP filing classified the facade as Safe — no repairs were required at that inspection. A filed Safe grade is not a guarantee of current condition: owners still maintain the facade and, where required, observe parapets each year. Future inspection timing (Local Law 49 of 2025 changed the cycle framework from October 1, 2026), repair and any assessment decisions remain building-specific.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $821/sf (floor-adjusted) across 5 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 4.2% 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.
