📊 Why this data is more reliable than other sites

The numbers on this page come from the NYC Department of Finance public records — every legally recorded property sale in Holliswood, not just MLS-listed transactions. Sites like Zillow and StreetEasy only capture listings that go through their platforms, missing FSBO sales, off-market deals, and transfers that never hit the MLS. This dataset includes all of them.

We also remove bulk portfolio transfers, nominal sales, and non-arms-length transactions that would distort median prices — cleaning that most data sources don't do. The result is a more accurate picture of what individual homes are actually selling for in your market.

Data source: NYC Department of Finance, Rolling Sales Data — Queens. Period: March 2025 – February 2026. Excludes $0 transfers, nominal sales, non-arms-length transactions, and bulk portfolio transfers identified through same-date/same-price pattern analysis. Last updated: March 2026.

Neighborhood Profile

Holliswood, Queens at a Glance

Holliswood is a small, affluent residential neighborhood in eastern Queens, bordered by Jamaica Estates to the north, Hollis to the east, Jamaica to the south, and Cunningham Park and Fresh Meadows to the west. The housing stock consists of single-family detached homes, many of them large colonials and Tudors on substantial lots. The neighborhood has limited direct transit; residents rely on buses and LIRR service from nearby stations.

Holliswood is one of Queens' most exclusive single-family home neighborhoods, with tree-lined streets, larger-than-average lot sizes, and a country-like atmosphere. The neighborhood sits at one of the highest elevations in Queens, contributing to its secluded, hilltop feel. Cunningham Park provides a natural buffer along its western edge. Holliswood's housing stock and lot sizes are comparable to Jamaica Estates, and the neighborhood appeals to buyers seeking privacy and space within New York City.
