Rising to the top in Brooklyn and Queens

A look at five priciest residential sales in 2010 in each of the two boroughs

From the June issue: When the most expensive residential sales are discussed in New York real estate circles, there’s usually one caveat: They’re all in Manhattan. So this month, The Real Deal looked at the top five most expensive closed sales in 2010 to date in each of two other boroughs, Brooklyn and Queens. The lists, which were created with information from StreetEasy and PropertyShark, include everything from flashy new condos to suburban-style mansions to historic townhouses. Prices ranged from $1.9 million to $8.495 million. The prices for the top deals are lower than they were last year in both boroughs. In 2009, the top five sales in the two boroughs ranged from $2.5 million to $10.3 million, according to StreetEasy. [more]
