Louis Armstrong's Block, The Lemon Ice King, And The Two-Families In Between
Louis Armstrong lived in a brick house on 107th Street from 1943 until his death in 1971, and his block is a fair picture of Corona’s housing: modest attached and detached houses, two-families and three-families, frame and brick, many of them built in the first decades of the 1900s. In Corona Heights, the Italian American corner of the neighborhood, there’s bocce in William F. Moore Park and lemon ice at the Lemon Ice King on 108th Street. The 7 crosses Corona on the Roosevelt Avenue el, stopping at Junction Boulevard, 103rd Street by Corona Plaza, and 111th Street, a short walk from the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
Most Corona houses have more than one unit, and today’s owners include families from Ecuador, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and China, alongside Italian American families who never left. The reasons they sell are practical: an estate in Corona Heights with sixty years of furniture inside, a fire that took the top floor, a renovation that stalled with a contractor’s lien on the title, heirs split between Corona and Guayaquil. Prime Realty Buyers is a Queens cash buyer based in Ozone Park, and we buy Corona houses as they are, on your timeline.
Why Corona Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
Corona houses are working houses: two or three units, family upstairs, tenants downstairs, a deed that may not have changed in decades. When something goes wrong with one of them, it rarely goes wrong alone.
The offer we write accounts for the damage, the violations, and the tenants. No sales pitch, just a straight answer.
We Buy Corona Houses As-Is
You don’t rebuild the top floor, finish the renovation, or empty the apartments first.

Why Choose Prime Realty Buyers
Prime Realty Buyers buys houses for cash from an office in Ozone Park, here in Queens. A real person answers when you call, in English or Spanish. The person who walks your Corona house writes the offer and shows you how each part of the number was reached, including what we allowed for the fire damage, the roof, or the unfinished apartment.
Proof of funds is yours in writing whenever you ask. Your attorney, your estate attorney, and family members abroad get what they need from us, and anything owed on the house, from a lien to an old water bill, gets paid from the sale at closing. Then we close on the date you choose.

Real Corona Seller Stories
“My grandmother lived two blocks from the Lemon Ice King for sixty-one years, and her house still had the original kitchen and every piece of furniture she ever bought. Probate dragged on for ten months, with the family spread from Staten Island to Florida. Prime Realty Buyers signed with us while the estate was open, bought the house with every room still furnished, and closed the week after the Letters issued.”
“My parents’ brick house on 107th Street, a few doors from the Louis Armstrong House, went to me and my sister in Guayaquil. It sat empty for a year while the roof leaked into the back bedroom, and neither of us could manage a contractor. Prime Realty Buyers bought it as it was, arranged my sister’s signature through our attorney, and closed in 38 days. She never had to fly up.”
“A kitchen fire started on the second floor of our frame two-family off National Street. The fire department saved the house, but the top floor burned and the water came through every ceiling below. Our insurance covered part of it, and nobody would lend to a buyer on a burned house. Prime Realty Buyers bought it boarded up, with the damage already priced into the offer, and closed in 14 days.”
“My husband and I raised four children in our three-family off 104th Street. Now they’re in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and we wanted one floor near them instead of three apartments to look after. The roof needed work and the boiler was old. Prime Realty Buyers bought the house with both tenants in place and let us choose the closing date, so we moved the same week our new lease started. Nobody had to fix the roof first.”
“I hired a contractor to redo the top-floor apartment of my three-family off 99th Street. He took the deposit, stopped halfway, and filed a mechanic’s lien when I wouldn’t pay for work he hadn’t done. The apartment couldn’t be rented half-gutted, and every buyer’s attorney stopped at the lien. Prime Realty Buyers bought the house as it was, the attorneys cleared the lien at closing, and we closed in 26 days.”

Frequently Asked Questions, Corona
Do you buy the older houses in Corona Heights near the Lemon Ice King and William F. Moore Park?
Yes. Plenty of those houses have stayed with one family since the 1950s or before, with original kitchens, boilers, and wiring, and many are still full of furniture. We buy them as they are, estate and contents included.
A fire damaged our two-family in Corona. Do we need the DOB to sign off before we sell?
No. We buy fire-damaged houses as they stand, boarded up, with any vacate order or DOB violation that came with the fire. Your insurance claim stays between you and your carrier, and your attorney can tell you how it fits with the sale.
Do you buy houses on the blocks around the Louis Armstrong House Museum on 107th Street?
Yes. Those blocks are mostly attached and detached brick and frame houses much like the one Armstrong lived in, many of them two-families, and we buy them as they stand, occupied or empty.
A contractor filed a mechanic's lien on our Corona house after he walked off the job. Can we still sell?
Usually, yes. The lien has to be paid, bonded, or otherwise cleared for the title to close, and your attorney handles that, often out of the proceeds at closing. We buy the house with the unfinished work as it is.
Do you buy houses in North Corona, near Northern Boulevard, too?
Yes. We buy across North Corona and Corona proper, from the blocks near Northern Boulevard down past Corona Avenue, including the brick two-families and newer three-families on the side streets.
Our Corona buyer's financing fell apart two weeks before closing. Can you step in?
Usually, yes. Once your attorney has that contract properly ended, we can walk the house, put a cash offer in writing within 24 hours, and close in as little as 7 days, often on the date you were already planning around.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Keep the photos, the papers, and the keepsakes that matter to the family. Leave the rest for us to clear after closing.
Are there commissions, fees, or closing costs?
No. There’s no commission, we pay the closing costs, and no fees come out of your check. Liens and the mortgage are paid from the proceeds; the rest is yours.
