From Brushville To Queens Village: Tudors, Colonials, And Basement Units
The neighborhood was Little Plains, then Brushville after a blacksmith named Thomas Brush, then plain Queens, and it only became Queens Village in 1923, when the railroad added the word to the station name. A lot of the housing went up around then: gambrel-roofed Dutch Colonials and Tudors from the 1920s and 1930s, with capes and two-families filling in later. Three ZIP codes split it, 11427 north of 90th Avenue, 11428 from there to 99th Avenue, and 11429 south of that. The Queens Village LIRR station sits by Springfield Boulevard and Jamaica Avenue on the Hempstead Branch, and there is no subway.
Plenty of those houses now have a second life downstairs: a basement apartment with its own door and kitchen that the certificate of occupancy never mentions. Since the Ida floods in September 2021, buyers’ lenders and attorneys look hard at units like that. Other Queens Village sellers are settling estates with heirs in Haiti or India, or are done with a leaking gambrel roof and the commute. Creedmoor’s campus sits on the northern edge, and Belmont Park and UBS Arena are just over the Elmont line. Prime Realty Buyers is based in Ozone Park, Queens, and we buy Queens Village houses with the unit and the tenant still in place.

Why Queens Village Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
In Queens Village the house is often doing two jobs: home upstairs, rental downstairs. When that arrangement ends through an estate, a DOB complaint, or a tenant who stops paying, a regular sale gets complicated fast. We buy the house with the arrangement still in place.

Real Queens Village Seller Stories
Probate Property
“My father’s Tudor near Hollis Avenue was still in probate when Ida came through in September 2021. The basement apartment flooded, the tenant moved out, and the estate couldn’t pay for cleanup until Letters issued, so the mold just spread. Prime Realty Buyers agreed on a price while the estate was open, waited for the court, and closed 15 days after Letters issued. Chris never once asked us to pump it out.”
Inherited House
“When Papa died, his Queens Village house went to his three daughters, and only one of us still lives in New York. My sisters are in Miami and Montreal. Getting everyone’s signatures took patience. Prime Realty Buyers worked with our attorney so each sister signed before a notary where she lives, bought the house with everything in it, and closed in eight weeks. Chris called me every Friday until it was done.”
Repair Distress
“Our Dutch Colonial off Braddock Avenue had a gambrel roof, and the dormers had leaked for years before the ceiling in the back bedroom came down. Three roofers gave us three different answers. Prime Realty Buyers bought it with the hole still in the ceiling, Chris showed us how he got to his number, and we closed in 20 days. We haven’t climbed a ladder since.”
Downsizing
“We moved up from South Carolina in 1986 and raised three children in our Dutch Colonial off Springfield Boulevard. With all of them settled in Connecticut, the stairs and the upkeep were too much. Chris walked through on a Saturday, Prime Realty Buyers had a written offer to us by Monday, and we closed the week our condo near the grandchildren was ready.”
Basement Apartment
“My mother’s tenant had lived in our basement apartment since 2009, paid on time, and helped with her groceries. After Mom passed, the appraiser for our buyer’s bank flagged the unit, and the deal died the same week. Prime Realty Buyers bought the house with the tenant still downstairs, Chris explained how the unit figured into the price, and we closed in 29 days. The tenant stayed.”

Frequently Asked Questions, Queens Village
Our Dutch Colonial in Queens Village has a rented basement unit with its own side door. Does the unit have to come out before you buy?
No. A unit the certificate of occupancy doesn’t show is a problem for a buyer’s lender, not for a cash buyer. We buy the house with the kitchen, the side door, and the tenant exactly where they are, and any DOB issue becomes ours after closing.
Inspectors came after a neighbor's complaint, and my Queens Village house now has a conversion violation and an OATH hearing date. Can I still sell?
Yes. The violation stays with the house, and an unpaid penalty can become a judgment, so ask your attorney about the hearing itself. We factor the violation into the offer, any penalty that’s due gets paid from the proceeds at closing like other liens, and curing the violation becomes our job.
The gambrel roof on my Queens Village Dutch Colonial leaks at the dormers. Do I need to fix it before selling?
No. Dormers on a gambrel roof often leak where they meet the steep lower slope, and the repair is rarely simple. We buy the house with the leak, the stained ceilings, and whatever is under them, and the written offer already accounts for the roof.
We live up near Creedmoor and Martin Van Buren High School. Do you buy in that part of Queens Village too?
Yes. We buy throughout Queens Village, from the blocks near Creedmoor down to Bellaire and the streets south of Hempstead Avenue, in 11427, 11428, and 11429 alike.
My parents' Queens Village estate has a tenant in the basement. Can we sell before probate is done?
Usually, yes. We sign a contract with the family while Surrogate’s Court is still working, and we close once the executor or administrator has Letters. The tenant can stay where they are the whole time.
The boiler in my Queens Village two-family died in January, and the tenants called 311 for heat. Can I still sell?
Yes. A no-heat complaint can turn into an HPD violation quickly, and your attorney can tell you what the city expects of you until closing. We can make an offer fast and buy the house with the dead boiler and any open HPD violation as they are.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Take what you need and leave the rest, including anything a tenant left behind. The cleanout gets handled after we close.
Are there commissions, fees, or closing costs?
No. There’s no commission and no fee, and we pay the closing costs. What you receive is our written offer, less any mortgage, taxes, or liens paid off at the closing table.
