LIC Townhouse That Sold for $2.15 Million Rents for Big Bucks

The townhouse at 21-33 45th Avenue, in Hunters Point, just rented out for a hefty sum: $8,650 a month. According to the Douglas Elliman broker in charge of leasing, that’s a record rent for the landmarked block. The townhouse sold in March for $2,150,000, coming in as the second-highest sale for the neighborhood. The buyer was a real estate designer and developer based in Manhattan. They rented out the home — which features exposed brick, wooden ceiling beams, a fireplace and a landscaped garden — to a single tenant.

That’s not the only rental record set in Queens this week. Yesterday we wrote about an Astoria duplex that rented for $5,000 a month, the highest number for the neighborhood.
