Nu-Place Realty seems to achieve excellent results with its PR. They even managed to get several paragraphs (!) in an article about Elmhurst in the NY Times this week in a "Living In" article:
NY Times: Elmhurst, Queens, a ‘Crossroads of the World’-----------------------
"According to the 2013 edition of “The Newest New Yorkers,” published by the New York City Department of City Planning, in the period 2007 to 2011, 71 percent of Elmhurst’s residents, or 77,100 people, were foreign-born. But brokers said newcomers from Manhattan, brownstone Brooklyn and Forest Hills, Queens, were also trickling into Elmhurst, drawn to its low-rise, lights-out-early streets, lower housing costs and proximity to the subway.
Among them are Jenny Oliver, a 31-year-old physician assistant, and her husband, Gareth Oliver, 35, who works in finance in Midtown Manhattan. The couple had a baby last year and were outgrowing their one-bedroom rental on the Upper East Side, which cost $3,500 a month. They were also paying $500 a month to park their car.
In November, the Olivers moved into a gut-renovated, two-bedroom, 1,100-square-foot co-op in the Continental Park on 51st Avenue in Elmhurst, paying $452,000. Common charges are $950 a month, and they park free on the street.
“Before we put an offer in, we came out and walked around at night and on the weekend, and found a lot of families, and liked the diversity,” Ms. Oliver said. “In Manhattan, everything we saw was so tiny and so expensive.” She was also delighted to discover Elmhurst Park, on Grand Avenue, where 9-month-old Jake can play.
Yael Goldman, an associate broker with Nu-Place Realty, said her company had sold almost 60 apartments in the last year in the 153-unit Continental Park. Developers had bought 79 sponsor units in the 1962 co-op and overhauled them while modernizing common areas; the renovated apartments went on the market in 2014.
“People who are priced out of Brooklyn and Manhattan and looking for an urban feel are coming to Sunnyside and Woodside, and now farther east is catching up,” Ms. Goldman said. “There’s great food of all kinds and shopping nearby, and they’re seeing it as hip.”
