Property Description for 5 Court Square, 11-A

Penthouse with Nearly 1,500 SF of Private Outdoor Space in Long Island City Perched at the top of the building, this exceptional three-bedroom, three-bathroom penthouse offers a rare combination of refined interiors and nearly 1,500 square feet of private outdoor space—an offering seldom found in Long Island City. Spanning approximately 1,635 square feet, the residence is defined by soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a seamless indoor-outdoor layout. The home opens into a dramatic living and dining area with striking double-height ceilings and bright southern exposure. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the space flows directly onto a large private terrace ideal for outdoor dining and gatherings. The open kitchen is designed with both function and entertaining in mind, anchored by a substantial eat-in island offering expansive counter space. Custom cabinetry is complemented by sleek stone countertops and backsplash, and a full suite of ultra high-end, penthouse-level appliances completes the space. A sculptural spiral staircase leads to a second expansive rooftop terrace, creating two distinct outdoor spaces for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying open views. Together, the terraces offer a level of flexibility and lifestyle rarely available in condominium living. The primary suite and additional bedrooms are generously proportioned, each offering excellent closet space and well-appointed bathrooms with high-end finishes and radiant heated floors. What truly sets this residence apart is the scale and usability of its outdoor space—surpassing the size of the vast majority of New York City apartments and offering a truly unique opportunity for expansive private outdoor living. Residents enjoy a full suite of amenities including a well-equipped fitness center with open views, along with a thoughtfully designed resident lounge and adjacent children’s playroom that offer flexibility for both work and relaxation. As one of only two residences on the penthouse level, PHA benefits from a unique sense of privacy, with the fitness center, resident lounge, and children’s playroom all located on the same level—creating a seamless extension of the home. Situated in the heart of Court Square, the location offers immediate access to multiple subway lines (7, E, M, G), making travel to Manhattan, Brooklyn, and beyond exceptionally convenient. Everyday essentials such as Trader Joe’s and Food Cellar are just moments away, along with a growing collection of restaurants, cafés, and neighborhood favorites throughout Long Island City. Court Square has quickly become one of the most convenient and connected neighborhoods in Western Queens, with nearby cultural institutions including MoMA PS1, SculptureCenter, and Culture Lab LIC, as well as parks, waterfront access, and recreational options such as Gantry Plaza State Park and Movement LIC.

Court Square | Queens

Quick Profile

Not that long-ago Court Square was an industrial zone near the Ed Koch / Queensboro Bridge. It was populated by manufacturing warehouses, lumber mills, dive bars and hole in the wall restaurants. Rumbling trains moving along the elevated tracks above added to the grittiness of the neighborhood. Despite its industrial past, it’s seen its share of major growth in recent years especially when it comes to residential construction.

Court Square is a triangular shaped pocket neighborhood of Long Island City and it is bounded by 21st Street to the west, Skillman Avenue to the east, 44th Drive and Thomson Avenue to the north and 49th Avenue to the south.

Its history feels a whole lot simpler compared to some of the other neighborhoods in Queens. Court Square is named after the historic Queens County Courthouse. Built in 1874 the court has tried some of the most important criminal cases in New York. Made out of brick and granite, the two-and-a-half story building was officially designated a landmark in 1976.  

Modern day Court Square is a vibrant neighborhood offering a healthy mix of brownstones, contemporary commercial buildings and modern residential buildings of varying sizes. The cool factor may not be at the same levels as select Brooklyn or Manhattan neighborhoods, but Court Square is quickly catching up. Art galleries, breweries, hip eateries, bookstores, and sustainable parks are defining the nabe and drawing in new residents.

You can’t write about Court Square and Long Island City without mentioning the Amazon debacle that went down on Valentine’s Day 2019. Drama ensued when the company withdrew their Headquarters 2 offer at One Court Square. The 50-story building was close to becoming the second headquarters for the American tech giant but the deal fell through. Amazon and New York’s Governor Cuomo, just couldn’t work out the fine details of the deal that included tax breaks and incentives. The heavily politicized event eventually collapsed.

The median listed price for a 1-bedroom in Court Square is $1,188,287 with an average price per square foot is $1,544.

The neighborhood has a fantastic transportation hub. Busses, LIRR Trains, and major roadways are easily accessed from Court Square and Long Island City. 7, E, G and M trains are located at the Court Square-23 Street station. And the N, Q , W and 7 trains are located at the Queensboro Plaza station.
