Own an apartment here? See what it would sell for.
A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Horizon Towers 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.
Start with the arithmetic, because it is the thing everyone gets wrong. Horizon Towers is routinely described as a 54-unit building. It is a 30-apartment building. The 54 is the count of condominium tax lots, and the other 24 are 22 deeded parking spaces and two ground-floor professional-office units. The distinction is not pedantic: it changes the common-charge denominator, it changes the owner-occupancy ratio a lender will compute, and it changes what "the building sold out in ten months" means. Anyone comping this address against a genuinely 54-apartment building is comping the wrong thing.
The parking is the second structural fact. Spaces here are separately deeded condominium units, not licences assigned by the board. Most 2008 sponsor closings bundled an apartment and a space into a single deed; a minority did not, and spaces have since traded on their own, at prices that have run from $30,000 in 2013 to $45,000 in 2026. Two practical consequences. If you are buying, establish in writing whether the space is included, because in a building where roughly two-thirds of the apartments were sold with one, its absence is a real deduction. If you are selling, a deeded space is a marketable asset in a Woodside market where most competing product has none.
Third, and most immediate: the tax abatement is running out. City exemption records show a 421-a partial exemption on all 52 unit lots through the 2025 roll and no such exemption in the 2026 or 2027 rolls. A 2008-vintage outer-borough benefit reaching term at exactly this point is unsurprising; the effect on the monthly is not. Any offer written here in 2026 should be underwritten against the post-abatement tax bill rather than the one on the listing sheet — the most consequential number in a transaction at this address, and knowable in advance.
Fourth, the sellout timing. The site — a funeral-home parcel assembled with an adjacent lot, both demolished in the spring of 2006 — closed to the sponsor in May 2006. The declaration recorded in January 2008 and all 30 apartments closed between February and November 2008, straight into the financial crisis. That ten-month sellout documents the timing of the original sales; establish each apartment's historical basis from its recorded consideration rather than inferring it from the market cycle.
Architecture and unit composition
A five-story, 46-foot masonry block on a wide, irregular 17,616-square-foot lot at the corner of 69th Street, with recorded floor area working out to a ratio of 1.54 in an R5 district against the 1.50 residential maximum; that simple comparison does not establish legal zoning floor area or permitted future work. PLUTO records roughly 22,926 square feet of residential floor area across the 30 apartments, an average near 760 square feet, plus about 4,230 square feet of ground-floor office. The mix reads as one- and two-bedrooms with a penthouse tier on the fifth floor; the 155-foot lot frontage allows more corner and through-facing lines than a standard Queens infill site of the same era. Interior specification is 2006-to-2008 outer-borough condominium — new-construction standard rather than architecturally distinguished, with exposure, outdoor space and whether a parking unit conveys doing most of the work between lines.
Building operations
A single-building condominium with an on-site superintendent rather than a doorman, video intercom entry, a fitness room, a recreation room and basement storage lockers. The laundry on each floor is a genuinely useful feature at this scale and one that a five-story building of this vintage frequently does not have.
The building does not appear in the city's Local Law 33 energy-grade file; at the reported floor areas it sits close to the 25,000-square-foot benchmarking threshold once non-residential space is accounted for, which is the likely explanation. Do not read the absence of a grade as an absence of exposure — a property that crosses the threshold on a re-measurement acquires a compliance obligation it has never budgeted for.
One ownership note. The two ground-floor professional-office units and a block of parking units remain in entity hands in city assessment records rather than having been sold through to individual owners, and at least one residential unit has passed through an institutional owner after a mortgage default. Neither settles anything on its own; both belong in the project review a lender will run (single-entity ownership, commercial space and occupancy questions on the condominium questionnaire), which in a small condominium can decide whether a buyer's financing clears.
Reserve balance, common-charge history, assessment history and the condominium's insurance and Local Law 11 posture are not in the public record. Request the by-laws, the last two years of financial statements and the recent board minutes before an offer.

The 421-a benefit has run its term, so taxes on these units have stepped up toward the full assessed amount. Get the current tax bill for the specific apartment and compare its tax component with any older listing: an earlier carrying-cost figure may reflect the benefit, or different common charges and assessments. Treat a comparable sale made while the abatement was still running as priced under different taxes.

Years shown are NYC tax years, which start July 1 — FY2025 runs July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. The benefit last appears on the 2024 assessment roll, which is what dates the end of the term.

Recent sales
Price this building per square foot and per line, and be explicit about the parking.
Sponsor closings in 2008 ran roughly from the high $280,000s to the low $500,000s, most of them conveying an apartment and a parking unit together. Resale has been steady rather than heavy — a building this size produces a handful of trades a year — and the range has widened considerably with unit size: recorded consideration on resales since 2018 has run from the mid $400,000s at the small end to the high $800,000s for the largest configurations with parking. The last complete year on record shows trades in the mid $400,000s and mid $600,000s, which is the honest centre of gravity for a one- or two-bedroom here.
Two adjustments matter more than anything else when comping. First, strip the parking: a deed that conveys two lots is not a comparable for one that conveys one. Second, adjust for the abatement. Comparables that closed while the 421-a benefit was live carried a lower tax line than the current bill; re-run the carrying cost from the current bill for the specific apartment, with common charges and assessments taken separately.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $852/sf (floor-adjusted) across 1 sale. 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 3.1% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

What to know at Horizon Towers
It is a 30-apartment building. Ignore the 54.
Get the post-abatement tax figure before you write. The 421-a is at term.
Confirm in writing whether a parking unit conveys — and get its lot number on the contract.
The building is reported pet-free. In a Queens condominium that is unusual, and it narrows the buyer pool on resale. Verify it against the by-laws rather than the listing.
Ask about ownership and occupancy. A lender reviewing a small condominium will ask how many units any one owner holds and how many are owner-occupied; get the current questionnaire answers first.

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.
