As the only apartment building within the highly desirable Forest Hills Gardens neighborhood, The Leslie is a prized destination for discerning New Yorkers. Built in 1942 by Steward Wagner and Alfred Fellheimer — the latter was a lead architect for Grand Central Terminal — The Leslie occupies the community's original sales office site with a commanding position opposite the charming Flagpole Green. The brick and limestone facade features Tudor and Art Deco details bordered by park-like grounds and a decorative garden wall. The Leslie offers 99 apartments ranging from one- to three-bedroom configurations with gleaming hardwood floors, fantastic light and views, and excellent closet space. Bedrooms are spacious, and updated kitchens and baths appeal to modern sensibilities.
Residents of this pet-friendly elevator building enjoy full-time doorman and live-in superintendent service, video security, laundry facilities and a package room.

get to know
forest hills
Forest Hills delivers a fantastic quality of life by melding seemingly opposing forces. Here, you'll find almost suburban serenity on the peaceful residential streets, while several thoroughfares boast excellent shopping, dining and services that make leaving the neighborhood unnecessary. While Forest Hills may seem a world away, its quick commute to Manhattan lends it a best-of-both-worlds appeal.
Forest Hills Gardens
This 175-acre enclave within the greater Forest Hills neighborhood is one of the oldest planned communities in America. Featuring whimsical Norman and Tudor architecture, the area charms with a fairytale village ambiance. Landscapes were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., son of the famed Central Park designer, and the entire community is protected by a 1913 covenant that preserves the original idea of "country living in the city."
Forest Hills Stadium
Given its suburban atmosphere, Forest Hills may not seem like a logical setting for one of the city's best concert venues. But Forest Hills Stadium has been delighting New Yorkers with a powerhouse schedule of summer concerts for more than 60 years. Originally the home of the U.S. Open tennis championship, the 13,000-seat venue has hosted everyone from Frank Sinatra and The Rolling Stones to Drake and Ed Sheeran.
World-Famous Parks
Forest Hills is bordered by two massive parks providing an embarrassment of riches when it comes to outdoor space and recreation. To the east, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the site of two World's Fairs, is best known for its iconic Unisphere globe, an enduring symbol of Queens itself. But on this 900-acre site, you'll also find sports fields, playgrounds and picnic areas, as well as a zoo, skate park, science center, amusement park and art museum. At the southern edge of the neighborhood, 500-acre Forest Hills Park features trails, athletic fields, a golf course and a small amusement village featuring the historic Forest Park Carousel, a city landmark.
