The highest and most expensive rental apartment in Queens has officially hit the market, offering unparalleled luxury and breathtaking views.

Listed at $11,500 per month, the penthouse at 3 Court Square, PH #406, crowns the 67th floor of Skyline Tower in Long Island City—the tallest completed building in the borough.

“This 67th-floor aerie boasts a helicopter view of the rooftops of Queens, the Manhattan skyline, and the East River with exposures to the north, south, and west – not to mention priceless bragging rights,” said Corcoran agent Michael Chadwick, who represents the listing.

Soaring 778 feet above the streets, Skyline Tower is not only Queens’ tallest skyscraper but also the second-tallest building in Queens and the third-tallest in New York City’s outer boroughs.

The 1,547-square-foot apartment features four bedrooms, three bathrooms—including two en-suites—and a corner living room with wraparound windows. The modern kitchen is outfitted with top-tier appliances.

“It’s a steal for what it is, as only three other rental apartments in all of NYC are located on higher floors, which is fine if you want to spend $45,000-$50,000 per month,” Chadwick said, referencing luxury rentals at 845 UN Plaza and 30 Park Place in Manhattan. “The penthouse has panoramic views of the NYC skyline, the East River, the Financial District, the Williamsburg Bridge, and the horizon where the sky meets land. It’s beautiful.”

Skyline Tower also offers a host of upscale amenities, including a 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a rooftop deck with city views, a 75-foot indoor pool, a cedar plank sauna, a fitness center, a game room, and valet parking. Residents can also enjoy a community play area, a pet spa, and a business center, all located just one subway stop from Midtown Manhattan.

The apartment’s status as Queens’ highest rental may not last long. BLDG Development’s “The Orchard,” set to become the borough’s tallest building, is currently under construction and slated to begin leasing in 2026.

But that’s a condo building. I guess they just can’t get it sold. I wouldn’t rent it. They’ll pull the lease from under you if they find a buyer.

Queens gun buyback takes 74 firearms off streets, including ghost guns and assault weapons: DA

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Monday that 74 firearms were taken off the streets at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York in Jamaica during a gun buyback event on Saturday, June 14. The weapons were exchanged for bank cards pre-loaded with cash, with no identification required and no questions asked.

“Gun buybacks serve as a critical tool for reducing gun violence and promoting public safety within our communities,” Katz said. “This Saturday, working with the NYPD and clergy leaders in Jamaica, we received 74 surrendered guns — including five automatic weapons.
