Other communities on the list included Oakland Gardens and Jamaica Estates. But northeast Queens realtors said they were skeptical that there were not any blocks from Douglas Manor included in the list.

"I'm surprised the Manor does not have any on the list," said Douglas Montgomery, of Douglaston's . "If you look at new construction going on there, you'll see homes going for $2 million to $4.5 million. It's an undiscovered neighborhood that is beautiful. It has a marina and an estuary. And it's private."

Rod O'Connell, of Little Neck's , also said Douglas Manor is the most expensive place in the borough to buy a home.

"There's no question about it," he said. "Shore Road is the most expensive. There was recently a home selling there for $3.5 million."
