Highly recommend Zara Realty Holding Corp! They’ve always given the best home options to me. I’ve already moved twice and I was not disappointed with the neighborhood they offered to me. It’s quite, everyone is friendly, and the rent was affordable! Even the amenities are complete. Check them out if you’re looking for a new space to live!

I got my dream house only because of these guys. I have 2 young kids who love running around the house the entire day and that is why I could not compromise on the space inside the house. With their help, I got exactly the kind of house that I wanted, and just not that, the house came with 24-hour surveillance, onsite laundry service, free maintenance, and hardwood flooring. The management is very good and is always eagerly responsive to help in every way possible. One of the best decisions of my life has been getting an apartment with these people.

This is going to be my HONEST review of MY EXPERIENCE while living there. I forgot who my realtor was but he was a short man, bald head in the middle, he was very nice! Very calm and mild mannered, you can tell he is a good man. I lived in Zara's Building for 3 years. I will speak on both negative and positives. So in my opinion, the prices are a bit on the high side, it could be lower. Parking is non-existent, unless you stay home all day and can watch like a hawk to move on alternate days. AGAIN, this is my experience and my building location. Now, the super is pretty nice, very responsive and overall I never had an issue with him at all, you need something done, you tell him, and he lets you know when he's coming and he come, pretty simple! The building is clean because they do wax and maintain the floors, but if you do not have clean neighbors, well, then you will understand. You have to remember no mater how clean a building is, if you have untidy neighbors, you will have unwanted visitors. I have to say I kept my place neat and am a neat freak so I did not have much of an issue. It is a building so everyone has to do their part, take out your garbage and don't leave messes. No issues with other tenants, everyone comes in and goes out and minds their business. Honestly, pay your rent and mind your business and you will be fine. I did not have any issues while living there. As for as MANAGEMENT, I dealt with JACINIA SANCHEZ, and wow she was the highlight of my stay there. Unfortunately, we all go through things in life, and this is being an honest review, I would be late on rent sometimes, (I TOLD YOU THIS WAS AN HONEST REVIEW)! When speaking with Jacinia, when I got off the phone with her, I felt so relieved. She always made me feel better no matter what I was going through, She always had a plan and did not judge me on my circumstance at the moment, did not made me feel worse than I did! She showed EMPATHY, SYMPATHY, PROFESSIONALISM, COURTESY, and most importantly she CARED! You could feel that she understood what you were going through and she tried to help find a solution, found a game plan so you can catch up. She has a good soul and she is a good human, yes I said good human, because this is what GOD wants us to be in life, to help our fellow bothers and sisters while being non-judgmental, and unbiased while maintaining her professionalism. She is someone I will always remember. Zara Realty is blessed to have someone like her and every else needs to follow suit! I left Zara this year because of personal choice of wanting a new scenery, and parking, nothing forced me out, I figured out a year before and took my time to move! Like I stated before, I did not have issues living there, best tips I can give are to, mind your business, pay your rent on time, and if you are having issues paying your rent, contact them and let them know, they will advise you, and BE A GOOD HUMAN BEING! JACINIA SANCHEZ, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND BLESSINGS TO YOU!

We have been here for 4 years and we love the apartment building and the management. If have to be honest, Zara is a really, really nice place to live. I can honestly say I don't have a single complaint about living here. It is clean, safe, comfortable, and is at a great location in Queens. It is very close to the train station, they are very well built apartments, having good support - maintenance, front desk, etc. I could go on and on about them. It's a very well run building. The Super is incredibly kind, positive and is always helpful. No matter whatever the issue is, he'll come and fix it right away. And as I said before, the management is incredibly responsive and understanding. The building is near to tons of restaurants, bars and parks. The building is the perfect combination of old world charm with that modern feel. Overall, I can't say anything bad about this place. Just a well-run building that's a great place to live. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The agent that helped me was extremely patient and allowed me to take my time during the leasing process. I truly appreciated his warmth, grace, and professionalism. He is also extremely knowledgeable about the community and surrounding neighborhoods which really helped me decide to move here. In addition to this, the actual apartment home is spacious, clean and comfortable. I only moved in 3 months ago, but I really look forward to an awesome stay here. If you decide to rent here, you won't regret it. Thank you to everyone in the leasing office for making my transition an easy one! The building is well maintained and the super takes care of every aspect of the building meticulously. We have a nice spacious area to live in and we have high ceilings with nice floors and decent closet space. It has been the best rental experience we have ever had. They go above and beyond. Thank you.
Roy Rouse
Very nice apartments considering where they are at, and big rooms.The rent is also extremely high for where the building is located, even if the apartments are nice, it is too high. The staff is friendly overall though especially the doormen. Management company is easy to work with. Great building that is well maintained.
Charlena Valeria
So apartment hunting alone truly sucks. Living Here made it so much better. They worked really hard to accommodate my list if very specific requirements, and was extremely helpful without ever making me feel pressured. It was also reassuring to have someone I trusted to go to showings with me. I felt safe and supported through my entire search. I'll definitely come back if I have to move again.
Anna Thomas
I will be forever thankful to Zara Realty for giving me such a beautiful apartment and neighborhood. It’s not very quiet but it’s certainly just fine for me since I like hearing noises sometimes. Their customer service is worth five stars, they are very helpful and gives you choices of the apartments available for rent!
Harris Pennington
Ok so let me just say I am not the easiest customer to work with lol but honestly, living here is an amazing experience. I started looking at new apartments buildings since back in 2018. I made an appointment with and when I met with the agent I, of course, had a ton of questions but he was super patient and accommodating. I finally decided on zara, signed the contract and that was that. Kudos to these agents for the exceptional work that they do. They are very flexible and accommodating! Working with them was easy and actually a pleasure. The exceptional customer service they showed a hard to deal with tenant like me, is reflective of their commitment to quality service and I am happy to be living at a building in which management and staff care so much. I feel safe, my apartment is super spacious, filled with light and is modern. The gym is fantastic and I have been more times than I have in month than I have in the past year. Amenities are great, staff is fantastic, location is perfect… no negatives. Loving every minute of living here! If you're in the market for a new place to live, I highly recommend Zara.

I have been a tenant with Zara Realty for 4 years now, and I am love living here. The staff are so kind and helpful, Vikrama is always helpful when I call. . I was able to get an apartment that fits my budget. The building I am living in is perfect for me. I have easy access to the hospital, train station, schools and alot of wonderful restaurant and stores. Also, not far from it is a beautiful park. The building is safe and clean. I never had any issues with rodents, and pest in my apartment. I would recommend anyone who is looking for an apartment that is clean and safe to choose Zara Realty.
Priya Persaud
So I have again resigned our lease at Zara. It is still a really great experience. The building is always clean and feels very safe. Thankful for our home here. I cannot say enough great things about this building. Our home is beautiful and modern while still cozy. Whenever we have had an issue, the maintenance staff is quick to help and so pleasant. By far the best apartment I had in my years in the Queens area. Location is perfect. The building is impeccable maintained and in a safe neighborhood, convenient to schools, shopping, bars, dining and a very easy train ride into Manhattan. Thank you Zara for being our home! Zara is exactly what you want in an apartment building and often don't realize until you have it. The super not only takes care of everything immediately he's also known by everyone in the neighborhood because he is so friendly. The owners truly care about the properly and its condition and are incredibly responsive. The building reps are all really nice too and easy to communicate with. Best rental experience we could ever ask for!
Amisha Rodrigues
I had a great experience with Zara Realty. Very professional and helpful throughout my apartment search. Zara was able to show me multiple units that were within my budget and had the amenities that I wanted. followed up with me multiple times with other rental options to look at and kept me updated as to whether a certain unit I was interested in had been rented. I was totally happy with the service and would recommend them to anyone looking for an apartment!
Maria Hill
Great experience with Zara Realty! Staff here was always very nice and professional. I've never worked with an agent that was willing to show me that many places. Hard worker and really wants to help you find the perfect home. Very nice place and I really like it here. Excellent!

I've been living with Zara for the last 4 years. My time there has been nothing but great. My building is always clean and my repairs are done timely. When I decided to move into a bigger space I chose to move within the Zara complex. I went back to the young lady that helped me when I first came in. Amanda is amazing. She always takes my calls help me with all my concerns. I will definitely refer Zara Realty to anyone looking for a great place to live.

Faith Mitchell
I am lazy. I did all my research online to make sure the agent I hire is knowledgeable, competent, and most important, trustworthy. I wanted someone to not only walk me through the process but also take charge in areas I had no expertise in. I don't know which Rental Agent to hire. I have no clue which Agency/company to choose. This is why I chose Zara Realty Holding Corp. Everything went good. I really like building, clean and nice. The maintenance guys are the best at what they do. Highly Recommend!

We lived here for 2 years. We moved out now but thought I’d stop by and leave a review. I received nothing but compliments from anyone who stepped foot in the apt. During the time that we lived there, we were very pleased with the way things operated and the upkeep in the building. The super maintains the buildings and is almost always on site and available to help out with any problems or issues that may arise. The building is clean and I found that the tenants were quite respectful. The apartments are in great condition with new appliances and have tons of natural lighting and space. My two years at Zara were extremely positive. Can’t lie. If you are looking to rent, I absolutely think that given the beautiful apartments and ideal location, Zara apartments are a great value for your money.
Lisa McKenzie
This is my quick story: I moved to New York from a very small town last year. When I was moving, I looked at several places to rent. So far, Zara has exceeded all of my expectations in every aspect. From the office staff, maintenance, and management this place really is the best of the best. They have activities here including tenant appreciation events, I Was told, but it’s on pause because of all that’s going on. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing and the neighborhood is vibrant sand safe. I do occasional work from home and found that my apartment is quiet and peaceful and no noise comes in so it’s just perfect for me. Honestly though, the most important thing to me has been seeing the quality of people they rent to. It’s all very friendly and warm people and from a diverse background. Can really appreciate it especially during these times of so much hatred and division. The maintenance guys are the best at what they do. They always smile and wave at you when they see you and they are always hard at work. Thank you so much guys for all that you do. Being new to the area I couldn't imagine a better experience.

Zara Realty, the best landlord in Queens. They are always helpful and understanding. The building I am living in is so safe and clean. I do not have any issues. The super keeps the entire building clean. The staff in office is always helpful and kind, especially Mr.Vikrama.They always give back to their tenants. Such a beautiful place to live in. I told two of my family member that were renting with other landlords and they are tenants with Zara now. A 5 star rating from me. Quality service.
Pritisha Baldeo
I am a new tenant with Zara, and I am loving it. The staff are so kind and helpful, especially Ryan. I was worried about finding an apartment in these times and with their help I finally got one. I was able to get an apartment to suit my budget. The building I am living in is perfect for me. I am close to the hospital, train station, schools and alot of wonderful restaurants. Also, not far from it is a beautiful park. I think this was best choice I made to rent an apartment with Zara Realty. The building is safe and clean. I would recommend anyone who is looking for an apartment to choose Zara Realty.
Nalisha Baldeo
I am a tenant with Zara Realty for 5 years now. It has been a great five years. I had no issues with my apartment. When I first moved here, I chose the building I am living in because it was beautiful, the apartment had a great layout, the building was very clean and it was near a lot of restaurants and stores. I also loved it because it was near the train station. They also have a parking lot which was perfect for me. The super is always kind and always helpful. The staff at the office is always kind and helpful especially Vikrama. I recommend Zara Realty to a lot of people and they rented with Zara. I am not planning to move because I love it here. A five star rating from me.
Sudeva Dookie
A few months back, I had finally settled into a place and then something unexpected happened - I accepted a new position out of state. Had to find a new home. This is how I ended up at Zara. The people who helped me have represented themselves well and I have nothing but great things to say about this place. My stay so far here has been really enjoyable and stress-free. The office staff were the nicest and were very very helpful in my time of need. Always with a smile and willing to help. I ever got into conversation about the nicest restaurants and best food and grocery stores around and that has helped me a lot in term of selecting my food around here. It’s these little tips and tricks that make all the difference. Even the maintenance guys are very polite and their smiles are contagious and when they say hello to you, it can really make your day. In terms of maintenance, they are on point and are quick with their response. Thank you. Now that is what I call service. These guys are the backbone of this place and they are good. They are always running around to ensure something is taken care of. And as I said before if they notice you across across the street, they don’t ignore you, they go out of their way to greet you. With a hectic schedule, they still find the way and time to make you feel comfortable. I don’t see anyone mentioning them and so I just had to because I think they deserve it. These are the people who work very hard to make to make my home what it is so thank you for that. Highly recommend!!
Sasha Singh
I must say Zara exceeded my expectations big time. I was only planning on being here for about a year or so until I found a house but the place is so nice that I decided to renew my lease after it was up. ⁃ Everything here looks fresh and clean and smells fresh and clean. ⁃ The floor plan of my unit is just perfect for me. ⁃ The location is awesome because it is close to everything I need access to, like grocery stores etc. ⁃ It is extremely quiet and clean here ⁃ What’s really exceptional about this place though is the staff. They are always pleasant and helpful and very patient with us. ⁃ The maintenance is always shows up in a short time and they always fix the problem in the most professional way possible. Kudos for that. ⁃ If you are looking for somewhere to live, I highly recommend Zara. **UPDATE** I am sad to say that I am planning to leave but only because of home ownership. But I reiterate my review that this place has been nothing but good to us. This has been a wonderful apartment and community and I am truly sad to go. The building has been superbly maintained with attention to details throughout the years I have been here now and yes the maintenance guys remained efficient and professional. The super is a man of integrity and has remained that way for the entire of my stay. Every single per from the actual landlords to the maintenance guys have always been super friendly and helpful, and it quickly becomes clear that they really care about their building and tenants. Was truly a pleasure to live here guys. So thank you for the opportunity! Having an elevator was very useful to us and can sometimes even be life-saving, especially for moving. Our apartment was always flushed with sunlight and the kitchen was sparkling from day one. Compared to our previous apartment before this, it was very spacious. Thanks again for everything. Highly recommend.
Anniesa Khan
My apartment search got a lot easier once I connected with an agent here. Professional, easygoing, and knowledgeable about all of the areas I was interested in. Most importantly, we viewed plenty of good options in my price range! This process, from start to finish, was entirely positive. Zara Realty made this whole process so much easier than I ever though poissible.
Julia King
I have been living with Zara Realty for a while now. I love it here. The environment is awesome. The building is clean and safe. One of the best choice I made was choosing to live here. My family love it here. The office staff is always helpful, especially Ryan, he is always helpful. The apartments here are really affordable. I love the layout of my apartment. The view from the balcony is beautiful, especially in the nights. At the building I am living in there is a parking lot at the back which is really convenient for me. I have easy access to other means of transportation near this building. The hospital is nearby and I am close to my job. Best choice I ever made. If you are looking for somewhere safe, clean and beautiful to live, choose Zara realty .
Rupesh Samaru
My boyfriend and I love it here. We have been here a year, and plan on staying. We find the manager, her staff and the maintenance crew to be top notch. Everyone is always smiling, helpful and so very friendly. The maintenance staff works hard to keep this place nice and with this many apartments, that has to be a tough job, but somehow they manage. Thank you Zara for everything that you do.
Sydney Davis
I've lived at Zara for about 13 months now and could not have imagined a better NY experience. The staff here truly care and they do an amazing job. By far, the most attentive staff of any apartment I've lived in. The building as a whole feels safe. From the office staff, to the leasing agents and the maintenance team, everyone seems happy to be here and is very helpful and friendly. And that type of attitude can have a contagious effect and honestly I think it has, because all the residents are pleasant people. Compare that to my last apartment where every other person was miserable and angry. They always follow up and have a way of making you feel right at home. The maintenance guys operate very efficiently and you can tell that they love their jobs which can make all the difference in the service you get. I have made wonderful friends with people who live here and i can say that the quality of residents here is top notch. The staff is extremely friendly and proactive and the building truly is a community. 5 stars!
Shiv Chaitram
Had a great experience with them. Zara Realty was extremely professional and up front with everything. The process was extremely quick. I had 2 bad experiences with other agencies and was so happy to find a place ran as smooth as this. Thank you!
Nicole Campbell
We have been here for nearly a year now, and the experience has been great. If anything goes wrong in the apartment, you can count on a response and action from their management. Lobby and hallways are always clean, and the residents are friendly. Great work by the management staff in training their staff as everyone is very professional and inviting. One of the most important aspects for me is that the apartments are very sound proof. Being a very light sleeper, and other than the occasional noise from outside (which should be expected in a city environment), you cannot hear other residents, tv or music from other apartments. This is a big deal for me so I’m very grateful for that. MY last apartment wasn’t so good with this so yeah I’m very happy that I’m relatively sound proof here. Restaurants and bars everywhere. Vending machines in the building, and a convenience store across the street. There is convenient parking as well so definitely a plus. With so much going on in the neighborhood, I never get bored here. There are three grocery stores literally within one block, and the subway is just down the street. But I think i like most about here is the nearby park. It is the perfect distance for a long lazy weekend walk and once there it is perfect serenity. All in all, I recommend 100%
Puran Mohabir
I love love love living at Zara. Let me tell you why. First the location is awesome! The neighborhood is clean, safe, quiet for a city, lively, healthy, lots of great food and entertainment options. My one-bedroom unit: I'm on the 4th floor facing east. The place is spacious and beautiful. We can comfortably fit a queen bed, dresser, 2 night stands and book shelf in our bedroom. That's a lot of stuff now that I type it out. I have a nice closet that fits more than enough of my stuff. The bathroom is GREAT! The rest of the apartment is beautiful as well. Our living room fits a small TV stand with a large flat screen TV, 2 book shelves, and a coffee table. The kitchen is very nice too, with all stainless steel appliances. There is a lovely little balcony that we use in the summer. There isn't a view like you would have in Manhattan obviously but it's awesome to read or dine outside when the weather is nice.
Sunil Kissoon
This place was awesome! Very friendly and accommodating. They helped me find a great place within my limitations and didn't try to lead me in any direction. processing department made it a snap. Thanks! They made everything really stress-free and simple, and the whole office seemed ready to help. Tip top notch!
Destiny Walker
94-25 57th ave I personally haven't had any major issues in the building besides not being able to get security camera footage when my package was stolen. Other than that every time I call the super, I get an answer right away same as the office, Daniel De Castro always answers my questions and help me find solutions to my problems very quick.

Because of relocation due to my job being moved, we were looking for potential apartment buildings. I noticed Zara had many options in various areas of Queens in NYC. I consider myself lucky to have come across them on google. I viewed their picture and one thing led to another and before you know it I was getting with an agent. I called the office, spoke to someone, and they walked me though everything on the phone. They followed up to confirm my appointment and was frankly very meticulous and thorough with providing information about the property prior to my appointment. They had really cool virtual tours so I opted for that first. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly. After careful consideration and deliberation, we diced to go through with it. After being approved, they followed up via phone to discuss next steps. Before you know it, we were ready to move. Just like that. So I must say, the whole process was seamless! They made themselves available to answer any questions I had. They were also extremely quick to respond. All this to say I am now a resident here and I don’t regret it one bit.

Let me begin by saying that Zara is an awesome place to live.. We have lived in the building since late June 2013 and just renewed a few months ago. Love it. Love it. Love it. The building has everything we need, most importantly, convenience! We both walk to work from the building, and the employees are all so nice and friendly. Maintenance staff is also great, always friendly and completing requests within a day. The leasing people are also very friendly and helpful. Before i moved here, i was very nervous about finding the right place for us - especially coming from out of town and not knowing what neighborhood we would like. This was the final building we looked at and we really liked it. I loved the model apartment layout that we saw as well. The renting process was pretty easy. It ended up being the perfect place for us. We have a one bedroom with a great view. They also have a parking garage available for residents with cars. This is very convenient and there are always spots available. Our location is also very close to lots of restaurants etc, and within walking distance of the subway. Overall, this is a great place to live and would recommend to anyone looking for convenience. I won't hesitate to recommend them to others. Thank you guys so much for everything and special shout out to you guys for all the masks

The best landlord ever. Choosing to live here was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. The environment is clean and safe. The Staff is really helpful especially Mr. Vikrama. Since I moved here I had no issues with pest in my apartment. My neighbors are very friendly. My family really love the apartment we choose. It is very beautiful. I told a lot of my family members about Zara and a lot of them have rented apartments with them too. A five star rating from me. I recommend anyone that is looking for a beautiful, safe and clean environment to live in to choose Zara Realty.

Amazing building with great staff. The employees in the office are all so amazing and so nice. They are really great to residents, and really care about the people who live there. Also one of the best parking garages I've ever parked at. I love living in this building…It is close to work, and close to restaurants and bars..and like i mentioned before, the staff here is very friendly and accommodating. The apartments are also beautiful and comfortable. Living here has been an incredibly welcoming experience. I would recommend Zara as one of the best apartment rental agencies in Queens. Location is also near my office. Close to the grocery stores as well as restaurants. Thank you very much for everything. Highly recommend! 10/10!

I recently used this website and my experience was great. Very knowledgable and polite and answered all my question.I have found them to be professional to deal with. Maybe too direct, but that's only because they know their market well.

They have good insight into the neighborhood, and decent apartments available for sale and to rent. I have found them to be professional to deal with. Maybe too direct, but that's only because they know their market well. Great!

Working with Zara Realty was the best apartment search experience I've had. I've moved over six times, and Zara by far was the kindest to work with, great with timely communication, and truly listened to what I was looking for and delivered great options. Great service and great people and reasonable price. Amazing Place. Highly recommend!

They are professional in every way and know the market to perfection. I am very particular when it comes to apartments, and have moved three times in three years because I can never find a place that fits my needs. Zara feels like it may finally have hit all of the requirements! The people here are incredible and actually care for you as a resident. The apartment itself is laid out very well, and even the small sized ones provide a lot of room due to the openness of the layout. All of the appliances are new, the location is fantastic, and the complex is always trying to improve rather than remain static. Looking forward to my stay at Zara. Kudos to the whole team!

If you are looking for a place to live, I highly suggest Zara Realty. I decided to give them a try. From the moment I walked into the office I was greeted very professionally and I felt very comfortable. Easy access to major highways and shopping centers. Great management staff and very clean building. We recommend them with confidence for those who are looking for an apartment.

Very nice apartments considering where they are at, and big rooms. They even helped me get an apartment very quickly and walked me through all the steps to achieve it. From the beginning to end Zara Realty Holding Corp. was there to help with what information was needed and within about a week I had my keys in hand to my new place. From the service down to the place it was all amazing.

Thank you very much and I appreciate all the efforts. The service here is top-notch and everything went seamless from starting to the end. Amazing Customer service. The friendliest staff ever. I first worked with leasing staff. They are absolutely great and the most patient people I have ever met. They answer all your questions and can go over the details like a million times. They always answer the phones when you need them, which is crazy considering the amount of people they have every day. They are really good. They are pretty flexible and can work with your schedules. I definitely recommend talking to them even if you are looking for something in future. They can always work out something for yous if you just ask. The apartments are pretty close to the subway and is in a great neighborhood. They follow a decent rigorous process to make the residents secure so, you know everyone living there is definitely checked up. Best experience and I would recommend Zara realty as the best apartment agency in Queens, hands down.

Can't wait to live here soon. They have an awesome staff, great rates and promos, and an all around student friendly environment. Very helpful in the process of starting and signing a lease as well, they take every customer, even if they are a potential customer, seriously!

I had an awesome experience with Zara Realty Holding Corp. from beginning to end in securing an apartment. After a difficult time finding a place on my own, I crossed paths, which led towards a seamless process. Attention to detail along with a personable approach made it clear my best interest was priority! It has been a pleasure renting from them and having Zara Realty as our property management company.

They are extremely effective. We moved out of state and came here and our expectations were just blown away. Got the best apartments with them. I can proudly say this is my home now. I have usually moved out of an apartment complex after each year with disappointment but Zara is the first apartment lease I have happily renewed. The amenities are good, pricing is comparable to other apartments in the area, but most importantly, the staff is great. We found the apartment through their social media page. In many other places I have lived in, once the lease is signed it takes forever to get a response but I must say that I have received the same first class service as a resident as I did when I was a prospect. The building is constantly being cleaned (puts my mind at ease especially during these times) and it is well maintained. The hallways were recently renovated. I would have to say the people who are most overlooked would be the maintenance team. Whenever we have an issue, and we rarely do, but every once in a blue moon, things happen, they are always on it in a very timely manner. They are also incredibly friendly and always say hello when we are passing in the building. I would have to say the greatest thing about living here is the fantastic staff. Thank you once again.

We first saw pictures online through their virtual tours that they’ve been doing. Saw they’ve been pushing out a lot of Covid 19 content on their social media and that’s what first caught my attention about them. Eventually one thing led to another and I now I am living here. Got tell ya - it is actually cheaper than other options in the area. Plus all the apartments I’ve seen have nice layouts. In most large buildings like this, the management teams are usually bad because they simply can't meet the needs of everyone. Service requests rarely get taken care of, building upgrades never happen and staff is never available to help. And this is kind of what I expected moving in here, not as bad as that but something like that. But the management team here is actually the complete opposite. We've made maybe 1 service request in the 4 months we've been here and the issue was resolved promptly. I see on their social media that they throw building parties with good food and music, bring in local businesses to share their products with residents and actually work on building improvements pretty often. The management team is easy to find and genuinely friendly. Overall this is a great place. Recommend fully.

Good apartment with location in the heart of New York City. Very comfortable. The staff is super friendly and very responsive, along with the maintenance staff, who fixes even minor things very promptly. The building is kept in great condition and is well taken care of, which is quite nice to come home to. I live in a studio and the layout is pretty spacious. I love how quiet the building generally is and I very rarely hear my neighbors. Management also regularly organizes social events for residents, which is a very nice perk and a great way to meet the neighbors. Not so much now because of all the social distancing rules but used to be a regular occurrence. Thank you to the Zara team as you made all of it possible.

I am a foreign exchange student who came to NYC. I literally just moved in and all staff members are so friendly… I feel like I asked a million questions to everyone but the have been such a pleasure and never act like she they are sick of hearing and answering questions. The staff is amazing here! Oh before I forget, they have professional, non-pushy leasing staff. Of the many places I've toured in the area, this leasing staff were the friendliest and most open to my many questions without putting pressure to sign right away. The move in process was seamless. The apartments are really pretty and quite affordable for the area…The building maximizes it's window space, so every apartment has a great view and as much light as possible. Definitely would recommend looking into Zara! I quickly noticed how tough is it to find the best apartments in Queens. But once I dealt with Zara Realty, they helped me get an apartment very quickly based on my requirements. My experience with them was awesome. Thank you very much.

Hands down the best company you can work with when you’re looking to find an affordable and comfortable apartment to live in. I toured many of their apartments before finding the perfect one in the Jamaica area. I was surprised actually to find such a beautiful apartment in the Jamaica area and at such a great price! Zaras apartments really reflect the luxury that their company name has in it. Everything looked so brand new in the apartment and it was very spacious. The move in process was straight forward, smooth and professional. Everything is walking distance to my building, from parks to grocery stores, restaurants, and apparel stores. The trains are near by (E, F, LIRR) and there are many buses, which makes it very convenient to live in the area. I’ve been living with Zara for a few months now and I can also say the office staff have been very understanding and helpful by working with me during the COVID-19 pandemic. They even gave us free masks! What more could you ask for? Rent here!

I have been looking for an apartment for MONTHS now and then I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a company, Zara. The apartment I rented was newly renovated and it had brand new stainless steel appliances and a washer and dryer in the apartment. The detailing of the work in the bathroom, and the mahogany kitchen cabinets and the shining glossy hardwood floors were certainly eye catching for me! I also loved that the building has a gym and it has a laundry room and there is a parking you can rent as well. When I heard the price of the apartment I was even more shocked! Such a beautiful apartment for such an affordable price, and with all these amenities? I knew I had to have it! Within the same week, I ended up renting the apartment and now one year later, my apartment is still looking as new as I got it when I first moved in. I’ve never had any issues with my apartment and any small repairs I needed done, I would schedule it directly with the superintendent or the office and they would ensure my repairs were completed within a timely manner. Zara’s employees are really professional and one thing I can say with certainty is that they care about their tenants and they are always glad to help. Please, if you are looking for an apartment, you definitely found the right place to call home here at Zara.

I recently moved in to one of Zara’s 2 bedroom apartments with my two children and we have been having nothing but pleasant times in our new home. All my neighbors are very friendly and were welcoming to us when we moved in and the superintendent has always been extremely kind and helpful. What I enjoy the most is the cleanliness of the building. The building is regularly cleaned and disinfected. As soon as you enter into the building, you can smell how clean the building is and you see the superintendent and his helpers constantly disinfecting the entire building and its common areas. I think this is great, especially due to these uncertain times of COVID-19. As a single mother with two young children, I feel very safe in this building and ever since I’ve moved in I have never had any issues. Everyone at the office is very friendly and always address any questions I may have, and they do so in a prompt manner. I plan to reside in Zara’s apartments for many years and I know my children will enjoy growing up in such a safe and secure environment. Keep up the good work Zara!! Thanks for awesome customer service.

It was my second renting experience with them and it was as good as the first one was. I contacted them six months ago when we were searching for an apartment for my sister who moved to queens for a job. This time It was me who was in need to rent an apartment. Knowing what I know about their level of service, I couldn’t go anywhere else. Recently completed 3 months in their apartment and i seriously have zero complaints. Look, save yourself the time and hassle. If you are new to queens, just come and stay here at zara. It has everything you are looking for and more. Hands down! The process is very simple. The leasing guys who show you around are great and don't mind taking you on multiple tours when you are making your decision. My leasing agent was excellent in making the application process as easy as possible. He was an absolute delight to work with. The rental market here in queens is crazy. Everything is expensive. This building is an exception. It is affordable.

The Zara Realty team has helped me tremendously throughout the years. Their attention to detail as well as their thoughtful actions and words always impresses me. Love it here and wouldn’t move and live anywhere else. At least, not any time soon. I work nearby so it’s actually the perfect location for me as it takes less than 15 minutes to commute to work. So it’s really the perfect place location wise. I was actually skeptical at first about this place because I’ve never really heard about it before, but once I did my own research I quickly realize that this is the place I needed to be. It’s worth your money 10 times over. They always go above and beyond. Always makes me feel at ease and I know that I am in good hands. Thanks for everything. I highly recommend them.

I have worked with Zara realty and these guys are amazing. The rent is very affordable for us and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with lots of space. Very professional people. The truth is that ever since we set foot in this building we felt at ease. We felt like we were home. I mean every single person who works here is really nice and welcoming and incredibly helpful. They were never annoyed at all the constant questions we asked, and we had a lot of questions. They are really nice. Always wear a smile and they explain everything to you very very clearly. I would definitely recommend them to everyone. PS - thank you for the masks!!!!

This place is worth every penny and it’s still cheaper than most apartment places around here. I've toured several buildings in the area before i came here and the staff here is definitely the most welcoming. You can tell that they really pay attention to detail and that they strive really hard to make the residents happy. Like I said, I am very happy with my rent that I pay. I used to pay almost double at the previous landlord so I know what I am talking about. Thanks and I recommend them to everyone. Also have to say that the staff here is very friendly and courteous. The day we moved to Zara was the day our lives changed. The super here is also very helpful and mannerly. Highly, highly recommend.

The Zara Realty team is great to work with and they are the best when it comes to professionalism in dealing with clients. They know what the customer needs and were prepared to do anything to help me when I first moved in. The building that is absolutely beautiful overall with a well manicured garden in front that really catches the eye and is taken care of really nicely. To anyone looking for a place to rent in the Jamaica area, I recommend giving them a shot. Thank you guys for letting me be a part of this community. I definitely recommend them to my friends and hope they can also use their services if they are looking for a place in Queens NYC. Thanks.

They helped us from the beginning to the end. Everyone I have met here in this building has been very nice. I am referring to the residents who live here with me. It seems like zara only rent to the best of people which is good for me because I like living with good people like myself :) The staff is great too. Love them. If you’re reading this and looking to move here, the office and leasing staff are really down to earth people. You will be in good hands. They are super nice! I do need maintenance occasionally. We all do. But it’s all handled very fast, and always very easy to schedule. If you can't live with noise, you will be more than happy here. MY apartment is sound proof to the point that I wonder if it’s a good or bad thing. it's definitely a good value living here. That much I can say. I would say don’t even look further, just give them a call. By the way, you guys have been doing an excellent job with the extra cleaning you’ve been doing because of all that’s going on in the world today. Really appreciate that. 5 stars all the way!

The best choice I ever made was to rent an apartment with Zara Realty. since I moved in I had no issues with my apartment, It was very nice. Zara Realty gave mask to all the tenants in my building, that was very helpful especially in these times, A landlord that care for their tenants. The super always keeps the building clean. The office staff is always kind and helpful too, especially Ryan. Everyone in my building is always nice, I feel safe where I am living. If you are looking for safe and clean environment to live in, I recommend Zara Realty. 5 stars all the way.

Zara Realty is simply the best company I have dealt with. We've lived here going on four years now, and I'd recommend it to anyone and often do recommend it to everyone who wants the convenience of a good life, with easy access to nightlife, restaurants, entertainment venues and more. Well it’s a little different now because of everything that’s going on but once everything is back to normal and we can all go out again, you’ll see how great this neighborhood is. Speaking of what’s going on right now, thank you guys so much for disinfecting everything daily and thank you for the masks. Came in really handy for me and the family. Everything you need is close by and in the area. The physical building is gorgeous and well-maintained inside and out. That is simply a fact that can’t be disputed by anyone. I've looked at many other options before I moved here, and there's nothing like this for the price we pay here and nothing anywhere near this quality level for that matter. Honestly speaking, what really makes living here special, is the staff. The whole office team is great. They make it super friendly and convenient to live here, and they give you a friendly greeting any time you pass by. Needless to say, I'm a big fan of Zara..

I live in a beautiful apartment with comfortable rooms that are well heated and lets in lots of natural light. This is an amazing place to live and it is within walking distance of tons of great stuff. My apartment is equally amazing and absolutely fantastic. Beautiful floors, very nice appliances including a gas stove, and great views from any direction. I never once heard any noise from neighboring units and that to me is a big deal. I just honestly love living here. And actually I just just signed another 24 month lease. We have been living in a spacious one bedroom facing south. The view is breath taking through any window you look especially when you’re this high up like we are! All the amenities here are top notch and I love the fact that there are so many great restaurants in the area. Plus there is plenty to do all within walking distance. From the moment you walk into the lobby, you know you are in a special place. Plus they really keep the building spotless and shiny. Highly highly recommend!

Excellent value for money. The apartment location is in a quiet area and it is easy getting to the city by subway. I’ve lived at this apartment for nine months now. This is a great place to live. My unit was upgraded recently with new hardwood flooring. The living areas are very spacious with high ceilings plus the area is very open and does not feel like a normal small apartment. That’s very good for me cuz I don’t like feeling cramped. The building is kept in great shape. Excellent condition because they have their guys cleaning the building 24/7. Especially now cuz of corona. They’ve been doing heavy duty cleaning. I still wear gloves and mask out of precaution but it helps to know that they are taking this seriously as well. They also gave me three free masks. Thanks for that.

We are as grateful to Zara Realty's agent as we are amazed by his efficiency. Other agents tried convincing us that getting a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with an attached garage for less than $3,000 was impossible. He got us one in record time. Speed and advocacy are the words to describe his performance. He is straightforward, sincere and understanding. We recommend him wholeheartedly. We Zara Realty Holding Corp. It was great choice. Thank You!

The apartment is nice. The staff is outstanding. There's always a helpful and friendly person at the front desk, always able to answer whatever questions I've had. The people at the leasing office are great too, easy to work with, and did everything possible to make me feel welcome when I first moved in. The rents are actually very reasonable, especially when you consider the great service that you receive from the team. I am very serious when it comes to customer service and am usually the first one to call out bad service but there has been absolutely nothing to complain about. I love this place and don’t plan on moving anytime soon. If you have any doubts at all about living here, do me a favor and go live elsewhere and see what it’s like, then come here. I promise you will be sold right away. Thank you very much and I recommend zara to anyone looking for an apartment.

The location is perfect - you can easily walk to everything within minutes. The staff are all great human beings. They are very attentive to the needs of the residents and they are so accommodating that it almost defies belief. Seriously. The service that come from these people is awesome and they always go above and beyond when providing assistance. The apartment is absolutely perfect and in the best location that is clean and close to the major attractions of the city. The maintenance guys are amazing and you can tell what kind of people they are by the way they carry themselves. They treat the property like it's their own, which is so wonderful. The customer service and hospitality here is way beyond anything the competition has to offer. It’s no secret, I shopped around once I got my renewal offer and truth be told found that I had been too spoiled by my experience here to make the switch. I give them a well deserved 5 star. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new place to live. They wont disappoint. If there are any issues, Zara is always there to help. Thanks.

I got a very nice and well-decorated apartment, above my expectations. My experience so far has been really good. I have been so impressed with the level of service I have received. The staff is amazing here. Leasing staff were nothing short of awesome as well. The neighbors are so friendly and the community is great. You literally have everything you could ever want, and then some. I liked the location as it is close to my office where I work. It's just a walk away. I looked at a lot of other places before finally settling on this 7 months ago and let me tell you, good customer service is extremely rare in this industry and frankly I deserve it. I deserve to be treated well and thats the reason I’m renting here instead of anywhere else. Peace of mind is priceless and hard to come by. I am so happy I moved in here.

Beautiful apartments and quality service! They were easy to work with. They are detailed and transparent in their work. Rent no hidden fees. The family is actively involved in managing their several properties on a day-to-day basis. This is dedication and these are the kind of people who need to run these buildings. Otherwise, it gets run down. Moving to Zara was the best decision I ever made as I truly enjoy living here. Thank You!

First let me say thank you for the masks. Came in very very handy. Zara was incredibly helpful in assisting with my apartment as I found it very confusing to do so on my own, especially in New York. The NYC real estate market is a big thing and getting the best apartment is a tough job. However, with their help it was possible. Everything was as per my budget and needs. Really like the look of the building from the front and the garden. Really love my apartment and its beautiful hardwood floors and beautiful kitchen. Absolutely love the staff and their helpfulness. Really appreciate the super and his always being there for us. So I just want to extend my gratitude to the amazing staff here. I have lived in many places but I have never felt so welcomed and treated so well as I have been at Zara. I would like to acknowledge the people who run this place for their dedication to serve this community. They have been extremely helpful with my family. Thank you for that. I highly recommend Zara for others who come to NYC in search of the best apartments.

I am so happy that I selected the New Haven Luxury Apartment in Hempstead for my new home! I have been living here for 3 years and it has lived up to me expectations. The cleanliness and the professionalism of the staff is extraordinary.. Ang it is so reassuring to know that saftey is maintained with great security. Also, no smoking! No pets is a plus!

Zara is awesome and their team is really great at dealing with requests and replying to them. I told them about my must-haves and other needs and they showed me 5 apartments that all suited me well. Long story short - I’m a really happy customer. I basically love everything about my life here and wouldn't change a thing. My life is significantly better from living here at Zara. I don’t say that lightly! Recommend to anyone looking for an apartment out here! **Update** Ever since this covid thing happened, they have been regularly scrubbing and sanitizing everything. HAVE TO RESPECT THAT! kudos and keep up the good work.

I always feel at ease with them as they always guide us in the right direction. This is actually the first real solid review I've ever written. Yeah I've written a few in the past but not like this. This is from the hearts and to be honest, the reason I’m writing it is mostly because of the staff here and their amazing work ethic and personalities. I have had very few issues with our apartments and that’s worth saying because it is very rare in the apartment rental issue. But basically every time I had an issue, it was fixed very quickly and professionally. Love you guys very much and I have to keep saying that of all my experiences at apartment buildings, you guys are on the top of my list. I’ve never really heard a complaint from other residents who live here either. And that’s another thing - all my neighbors are great people, friendly, respectful, and very hard working.

I am so thankful that I found these people. They are always easy to deal with and also patient and honest. And they handed out masks to every single tenant. How cool is that? Sorry but I don't see any other landlords doing this. Before the pandemic, they used to hold parties for us. Again no other landlords are doing these things. Im not sucking up to them but I do give credit where it’s due. I do have my minor issues with them sometimes but it’s always amicably resolved and always to my satisfaction. The maintenance guys are too great, but it’s not just the maintenance guys who are awesome at Zara. The whole entire team is very friendly and incredibly efficient at what they do. They know my name and mention me by my name and that’s pretty cool to me. Honestly, it really feels like you’re interacting with family members. I highly recommend Zara.

As far as reviews go I do not usually give a review based on a single experience with a company or individual. I also do not give a review immediately following an incident because the prevailing emotions at the time can influence the review negatively or positively. That would be a reaction and not a review. However, I am inclined to offer my review of Zara’s administration office as experienced through their representatives. Two individuals come to mind, Christina and Daniel, though one briefly and the other protracted. I have dealt with both recently. Christina was my initial point of contact and she was very cordial and professional. She was efficient and after taking all my details and reason for my call said someone will get back to me and someone did, Daniel. It was not my first time speaking with Daniel. I had occasion to speak with him intermittently over the past year. He is professional and knowledgeable of his process. Zara is in the real estate/rental business so naturally any conversation is invariably that of a landlord/tenant relationship. The expectation of a resolution in such a relationship is as acrimonious as a that of a taxpayer and the IRS. But in my case Daniel proved me wrong. Daniel handled my case with the sensitivity of a seasoned professional, responded within the promised time frame and the immediate result of the conversation was seen the day after. I must say that I was impressed. It was not a one-time occurrence either, for when I had reason to call again for a different issue the result was the same. Poignant, professional and punctual. Under stress or faced with cause of uncertainty Daniel is a voice you want to hear. Pleasant, grounded, thoughtful and confident. In my recent interaction with Daniel I was pleasantly surprised when the result of my inquiry resulted in an amicable resolution with a better than expected outcome. Though if the result was otherwise I would not be willing to say it was a fault of his. For this reason I was motivated to write this review. I wish this young man continued success in his endeavors wherever they may take him.

It is always a pleasure working with them. When I first found this place, I knew it was exactly the type of apartment I've been searching for. The location is perfect. And the look of the building is fantastic. Staff is very sweet and they are very patient and kind from the very beginning. They always answer all our questions without hesitation. The building is very well maintained and the area is pretty safe. I never feel unsafe walking around at nights, which is something I couldn’t have said for my previous neighborhood. I haven’t really had any bad experiences here to be honest and I would recommend anybody to check these people out if you’re looking for somewhere to live around here.

They are nice to deal with when it comes to finding a perfect apartment. They are very professional, communicative, and helped us throughout the process of renting, as well as, answering all of our questions and inquiries in a way that we could understand. I so much appreciated everything they did of helping us in finding a perfect apartment to live. We are so happy and satisfied, great environment, friendly neighbors, and service are always willing to help you when you are in need or concerns. Also, very prompt in accommodating maintenance requests. I'll recommend them to anyone I know who is looking for a good apartment to live in the Jamaica, NY area.

Been living at zara for over 3 years and I absolutely love it. Yes it is not free from problems, but which apartment building is? Have you seen the other apartment buildings around here? This is as close to perfect as you can possibly want. I live in a studio which is perfect for me ..The building is beautiful inside and out and the guys are always cleaning and beautifying the place. Proud to call it my home. This is a great place to live. Highly recommend! whenever I call them for small maintenance work. Every-time they showed up promptly. I always see them working hard for their customers. Everything is well maintained from apartments to parking lots. 10 stars!

When I was looking for a place, they showed me about ten apartments . The guys were patient with me from the day we visited the first apartment to the day I made my final selection. It took time but I am now living in my dream apartment. I offer my sincere gratitude for their co-operation and support. Update: I MUST post a positive review about the office staff at Zara. They are the absolute best!! I don’t know how to say it except to say that they have impeccable hospitality service. They treat all of my guests with the utmost respect and anytime I need anything they are so happy to help. Thank you guys! I appreciate their hard work, compassion and efficiency with which they work. They bring exceptional value to this company. Thanks for always being there for me guys! I mean it! You always make zara feel like home when we return from our busy days and I can't thank you enough for that! If you are looking for a place that feels luxurious, safe and friendly, zara is where you want to live!

I heard of them when I was in some problems.. lucky to have found them. I visited two or three apartments and decided to rent because the beauty of the apartments was breath-taking. The process was easy and the staff was co-operative. They helped me a lot. Never will forget their service. The staff here has absolutely made me feel so at home. They provided such a warm welcome, I felt comfortable immediately. Since this was my first apartment after moving from Texas, it was so calming to be welcomed in this way. The building is great. I feel safe here, and part of a small community. That is what really matters when you are far away from your family and friends. Plus there are lots of great restaurants around the area. Really love it here!

Exceptional! My apartment is perfect for me and was under my budget, tbh. They were never pushy, and showed me nice apartments according to my requirements. I appreciate their understanding and help. It never felt frustrating at any step of the way …everything was clear and laid back. that was then..now I have been living at zara for several months and I am happy to say that it's been a great experience so far. I particularly would like to acknowledge all the staff who have gone above and beyond from the moment I stepped foot into this place. The staff is not only super helpful but they are also very sweet and friendly.. I love talking the the office staff because their positive attitude literally brightens my day every time I speak to them. Thank you guys for all your hard work and dedication…

I think they are the best in every aspect including price and variety. Unforgettable experience living here. If zara did just one thing right, outside of the nice apartments, views, and clean lobby, it would be the people they hire to ensure our everyday experience is met with ease! From the super to his team of helpers. These are the behind the scenes people who are the first good morning greeting and smiles I get every day. I like them because they are quick to know and predict the needs of the tenants, and often go above and beyond to try and make our days better, even with the simplest smile, or question of how our day is going. These guys are the real gems of this building. They really are amazing, good hearted human beings. For me personally, that is greater than anything else you get at zara! Thank you so much for your amazing employees

When we first started here, They compiled a list of all beautiful apartments based on our specific requirements. We visited each one of them and selected the one that fitted our budget. All the apartments were so beautiful, well maintained and organized.We were ecstatic to have such an incredible apartment secured. So yeah now we rent here. To put it in a nutshell, they are always fair, attentive to our maintenance requests, and very courteous. We recommend them. Our rent is beyond fair and competitive for the area. We actually had a few normal maintenance requests during our stay there and the response was always really really prompt. Also, it's worth mentioning that that the maintenance people were awesome, fast, competent, and friendly. No bad experiences at all. Lastly, it's worth noting that it's a family-run business that has been in the neighborhood for years. The family is actively involved in managing their several properties on a day-to-day basis. This is dedication and these are the kind of people who need to run these buildings. Otherwise, it gets run down. I would happily refer them to all who are searching for an apartment in this area for an affordable price.

As you can imagine, finding a new home in NYC in general can be an overwhelming and stressful process. We came across Zara on Google after being frustrated working with a handful of brokers, and we were intrigued by the apartments that Zara had to offer their clients. We decided to give them a try and had a great introduction call with a zara representative, who talked us through the process and asked thoughtful questions about what we were looking for in a new home etc.. Once we agreed to move forward and reviewed our requirements, she quickly scheduled a tour. They were diligent in bringing us to various locations on the first day and showed us a range of options. After a long day of looking, we found a place that that fit our needs. They were amazingly helpful and truly went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable with our decision. The business with the leasing office was smooth and painless. They are really really good at working with people and anyone would be lucky to work with them! Overall, we are really happy with the process and highly recommend Zara for anyone looking to move to NYC. We absolutely love our new apartment! So yes, our interaction with them was positive. They answered all our queries and explained their terms and policies transparently. They were straight forward in their pricing and kept nothing hidden. Everything went smooth from start to finish. We trust them fully. Highly recommend!

They are good at what they do! No-stress and no-worries. Everything is superb. Heard about Zara through a friend who lived with them as I was staying with another landlord. During my last weekend before having to decide on a place, I reached out to Zara, and was immediately speaking with an agent. I got put in touch with whole team and that was the best move I made ever. They explained to me how the entire process works and answered all my questions in detail. I even used the time to pick their brain about Queens in general, and they happily obliged. After letting them know which place I wanted to move forward with, they even helped me handle all of the necessary paperwork on my end and made sure I was taken care of before I had to leave the city. Thank you so much for a stress-free, honest and candid experience apartment hunting, and for finding me my first place in Queens! You guys are truly remarkable and I will recommend you to everyone I know. Thank you for everything!

I have nothing but good things to share about their apartments and my living experience. I have been living with them approximately one and half year and within the time-span I never had any issue with them. I get their assistance promptly when I call them for help. We continue to love our experience at Zara. We recently had a few minor kitchen maintenance needs and the maintenance team was incredibly quick with their response. They contacted me to schedule a time, arrived on time, and took care of the issues in minutes. Love it. Special shout out to those guys for their wonderful help first and foremost - much appreciated! They are fantastic guys whom you will find ready to do anything for their tenant’s comfort. Recommend with no reservations whatsoever.

Beautiful apartments and quality service. I get their support on every issue - small and big. We moved here about 9 months ago and toured a number of different buildings around the area. Truth be told, we were immediately blown away by Zara to the point that we immediately filled out an application to secure the unit we were considering. No exaggeration.. one of the best decisions we've ever made. Everyone from the office staff to the front desk, to maintenance, supers, etc. are all truly wonderful. It is absolutely clear that the people who work here care a great deal about the experience of living in this amazing building. Thanks again to the great staff! Love you guys and highly recommend here!

Yes i live here. They were easy to work with. They are detailed and transparent in their work. Rent is fair. There are no hidden fees. I would recommend them to my near and dear ones because of their trustworthiness …that is hard to come by today and I’m not one to write reviews, especially for apartment buildings but I love living in this building. Everything from the inside of my apartment to the lobby and hallway are beautifully done and always clean. The staff is very friendly and polite. From the office people to the front desk to the guys who clean the place, i just want to say thank YOU for everything you do! It doesn't go unnoticed. After a hard day of work there is something to be said when I arrive and walk in to the lobby and it smells as fresh and clean as it always does. Thanks zara for making this my home!

A co worker of mine recommended Zara realty as he knew I was on the hunt for an apartment and my oh my I’m glad I gave them a try. One of the main things I needed was to be close to public transportation. My apartment is conveniently located to all public transportation such as trains and buses. Being a single mother I needed security also and they delivered on that too. I love the double doors in my building and the fact that my apartment keys cannot be duplicated. Even though I’ve only been living here a few months I love it. I love it so much that I recommend zara realty to my my sister who live right next door to me now in one of their buildings and my son who lives two blocks away. We are all pleased with the apartments and the level of security and service provided.

I would definitely recommend Zara Realty. The staff were great with showing us multiple places, replied quickly to inquiries and wanted to make sure we find the right one. I am new to New York so it could have been a real pain but they made it effortless. So often dealing with agents can involve hidden fees and general game playing but this company was really straightforward and we got it signed and done with no stress or hassle. Thank you so much!

In my quest to find an apartment I came across a listing for Zara. I met with an agent who gave me the grand tour. I like the fact that he sat down and asked me to what my needs were before proceeding. I was able to find my ideal apartment after only viewing two. Imagine the amount of time I saved. I was able to fill out the paper work and by the end of the week I was holding the keys to my place. The staff at Zara is professional and efficient. All my questions were answers and I was at ease throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Zara to anyone looking for a great place to call home. Keep up the outstanding work guys!!!

I feel like a long time listener, first time caller. I’ve read the reviews before and I can confirm that my experiences with the customer service team has been fantastic. I've been living at Zara for 5 years, and when I decided I wanted an upgrade to a bigger apartment I went in and saw Amanda. She did all the heavy lifting and made my transition as seamless as possible. There are not enough superlatives to describe how fantastic of a job she did. She took into consideration previously overlooked issues, and was willing to go the extra mile to ensure the process was completely transparent. She placed herself in the tenant's shoe and negotiated/masterminded the best deal for both parties. To new tenants and existing tenants alike, whenever there is a problem, I recommend that you make it your priority to go see/ask for Amanda. If it can be done, it will be done and if it can't, she’ll still give it a go. Thank you for your effort Amanda, it is much appreciated.

Big thank you to the team at Zara realty. They are quick in responding to complaints and any issues at you may have. I had a minor leak and I dropped a note for the super. He called me within the hour to schedule access so that the job could get completed. He was very accommodating with the time as I explained that I work full time and have limited days to take off. Thank you again Zara team. Keep up the good work!!

Living in my apartment was everything I expected. It was newly refurbished, clean, comfortable and came with new appliances. I felt very safe now matter when time I left or arrived home. There are alot of cameras and friendly faces. I was blown away that my building also had an easily accessible laundry room and trash shoot. My Super is very respectful and hard working; I see him all the time. Shivanie was very helpful, she always went above and beyond to assure me that I was making the right decision when it came to my living situation. My daughter loves our apartment and enjoy spending time with me. I plan on recommending my friends to her so they can get the same living experience as myself. I am more than satisfied!

Nice and amazing apartments. I only have positive things to share about Zara Realty Holding Corp. I am living in their apartment for the last two years, the building is brand new and well taken care of by their staff. Every staff member is very responsible, do their work with diligence, and pay their heed to my questions and concerns if I had. They are the best people to contact if someone is looking to rent a nice apartment at an affordable price. The truth is I’ve never encountered a more dedicated and professional team of workers than the office staff and maintenance crew at Zara. From the front desk lady to the building managers to the superintendents to the workers. Everyone says hi or good morning etc and offer warm smiles when they see you. Yes, it’s part of their job, but still. It’s really a luxury these days to see employees who love their jobs. If you think about it, everyone is so unmannerly these days from the high school kids to grownups that it’s really nice when you finally meet people who actually love their job and treat their clients with the basic decency and respect every human being deserves. Thank you guys for all that you do. Have always recommended and will continue to recommend you guys.living in my new apartment and was very happy with the location.

Provide lavish residential space. I love Zara for its affordable price for these nice looking apartments. I rented an apartment 3 months ago. Seriously I have no complaints with them. I contacted them two times to resolve my issues and both times got quick resolutions to my concerns. Their customer support is great and I have no words to praise their property managers. Overall fantastic experience.

It is really important to me that the apartment that i live in is nice and comfortable and to my liking because I spend allot of time at home since I tele-commute. With that in mind, about 6 months ago, I decided to look for an apartment. I came across zara online and gave them a call. A tour was set up quickly and I was impressed by what I saw. I had a million questions which I think is pretty normal for such a big move. They answered everything to my satisfaction and so I made the move and signed the lease. Like I said, it’s been six months so I thought I’d come on here and leave a review. This is great place to live. The neighborhood is amazing and the office staff is extremely helpful to us. They bend over backward to get you the help that you need. Thats what I like about them the most. They also try to accommodate your suggestions and resolve your issues as quickly as they possible can. Definitely recommend!

The building is awesome and is truly luxurious. Its very clean and well kept and offers great views of the area with open floor plans and stainless steel appliances. I moved from another luxury place and I was worried that zara wouldn’t be able to keep up or compare with my previous building but to my surprise, they beat my previous landlord in every category you can think of, plus the rent is cheaper. Really can't beat that. Once you take a tour, you’ll understand why they say these apartments sell themselves. The amenities are absolute stunning, the unit is gorgeous and all the people who work here are incredible. I have never felt more welcome!! This place is absolutely a one of a kind incredible find. We must have decided on our apartment only about 3 hours after given a tour. Love the high ceilings and huge windows. I’m still amazed as though it’s the first time I’m looking at it. Usually, it takes me a really long time to settle in to a new spot but it took me less than a month to feel very very comfortable here, which speaks volumes about the kind of place this is. If you qualify to live here, hurry up and go for it. Will be worth your time and effort.

I have been living here for a while now and we just signed and renewed our lease and we never want to leave. When we first moved in, we requested a few minor things be done. I can report that the guys who came did everything to our satisfaction within just a few hours. This building is is all we ever wanted and more. We always wanted to live in a quiet, serene area that would keep out the noise from traffic or neighbors etc. That has been made a reality for us by moving in here. Thanks guys. I have to give credit where it’s due.. and credit is due to the maintenance guys. Amazing amazing service that definitely sets them apart from other apartment buildings. These guys are extremely polite and professional and they do really really good work. They even explained the work they were doing as they were doing it. Really incredible service! The management and maintenance team take a lot of pride in this building. You can quickly tell especially when you wake up early in the morning and realize those guys are already up taking care of their duties. Really admire their work ethic. Recommend them 500%. Keep up the good work guys!

If you're looking for an apartment in this area, I absolutely recommend Zara 100%. After years of living at buildings with horrible landlords it was a breath of fresh air to work with the team at Zara. Right from the beginning of my apartment search until the end of my lease, they were outstanding. Always Always Always prompt with their responses and try their utmost best to resolve issues as quickly as possible. The building is beautiful. The lobby is amazing. And their decoration last Christmas was just perfect..These people are great at what they do and you can tell from the way the building looks and is maintained. The staff does an amazing job taking care of the building. Honestly, if I wasn’t leaving this area to move to NJ, I would have re-signed my lease in a heartbeat. Thank you guys for treating me so good over the years. Will always remember it. Take care of yourselves! Will visit when I’m in the area!

She was very helpful. Thank Rosanna for taking the time to resolve my aunt concerns. It show you care. Keep up the good work. Thanks Zara for employees like Rosanna.

I have been renting here for awhile. The neighborhood is good , the building is newly renovated. The apartment is huge nice views. The rent is fairly priced and everyone is so friendly. I’m not just talking about the residents but the staff. Repairs are done fast and prompt. I have no regrets moving here. And I would recommend Zara to everyone I know.

Lived here for 3 years and still loved it. The location and amenities are brilliant. Apartments are quiet, and mine had a great view. I haven’t had any issue with my co-renters because they as well were super friendly. so happy to have been under Zara since then, I was not disappointed, not a bit.

Convenient location. Their apartments are extremely beautiful. The rooms are big with a beautiful outside view. We recently moved to the property with our whole family including my mom and dad. The place is suitable for elderly persons and children as well plus it is nearby my office location. Zara came into my life at the right time. After I signed my lease I felt at ease. I m happy with what I saw and I am comfortable knowing I m in good hands. I had moved from another state and so this wasn’t easy for me. I wasn't sure how easy or difficult it would be to get an apartment here. But honestly the whole application and lease signing process took way less time than I thought it would. I’m genuinely impressed. The agents who helped me were really nice and seemed extremely knowledgeable and seemed to know the process like the back of their hand. That put me at ease. My main thing was space and yeah my apartment is super spacious with brand spanking new stainless steel appliances so I’m ecstatic about that.

I've been with Zara Realty for 3 years now, I've never had a complaint since living here. The office is great and efficient. I ABSOLUTELY love calling and speaking with Mr. Daniel DeCastro, very helpful, compassionate and understanding. He is willing to assist me.with any issues or concerns that I may have. Overall great experience since I've been with Zara.

I am GRATEFUL to have their on-time support. They showed me some convenient and stunning options when I was looking for apartments at the beginning. I approached them one month ago. The agents were patient and polite. They answered all my queries. I know for sure that I got a very good deal with them. Thanks for being so supportive… I haven’t been living here for as long as most other tenants but so far I have to say I’m really impressed. Besides the beautiful appliances and shiny nice floors, the attitude and personalities of the landlord and the team that represents them on a daily basis adds another layer of luxury to the experience. I really appreciate that.

Everyone who works here is really nice and friendly. So right off the bat, thumbs up for that. Maintenance crew works fast and they’re VERY VERY respectful. Thumbs up there also. I LOVEE my apartment. Big and spacious. Like lots and lots of room. Well it’s just me who live here so that helps also. Love the new appliances in the kitchen too. They come in handy when I’m experimenting in the kitchen with cooking :) Last summer, they held resident parties where they handed out free food and drinks and had music and face painting and the whole works. They also held a Halloween event and Christmas parties. I went to all of them. Was awesome. Loads of fun. The people who live here, Im happy to say are nice decent family people. They’re kind and respectful and I have no problems with any of them. Would def. give this place a shot if you’re looking for an apartment.

stumbled on it through a quick google search for apartments in my area…Everyone was so welcoming when I came for a tour…and from the beginning, I was sold after looking at a few apartments. I filled out the application right away. And soon after that I moved in. Once I moved in, I was a happy man. The location of Zara is also really good because there are so many cool restaurants nearby and there are grocery stores right around the bend. I have walked around the neighborhood too and I have to say that it feels really safe and friendly. The building is truly amazing and very well kept. And our apartment itself is gorgeous and the staff is super friendly. Recommend it 100%!

I really really love living here. The neighborhood is perfect and what an amazingly beautiful building this is. Aside from the fact that my apartment is huge and has really nice views, the hardwood floor makes you drool as they just have the perfect glossy finish. I am very impressed and my guests, when they come over are also very impressed, so thanks for that!! For the price that I pay to live here, it’s definitely a steal…. Everyone is so friendly. I’m not just talking about the residents. I’m talking about the office staff to the people who do repair work. It’s like a community of its own. Everyone makes conversation with you and it’s just a warm and friendly feeling being in this building. Btw, it also feels super secure. And that’s a good feeling to have about the place you live, especially these times. absolutely love it here..yes, would recommend.

Fabulous living space and locations. Beautiful apartments and quality customer support. Living at their apartment for the past 2 years and enjoying it here. Thanks to them for being highly dependable. They are extremely friendly and fast. There was one time i was going through some issues, really personal stuff .cant really mention the details here…and I vented to the staff and they had my back and everyone offered such encouraging words. This once staff member even bought me a card to show her support. These are the things I’ll always remember. They took a lot of my stress away. I feel like they genuinely cared about my well-being and personal growth. Love them. They are angels and it just adds to the reasons why i love living here and why I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for an apartment. You guys are awesome!

Zara Realty didn’t give me a headache from the moment I tried getting in touch with them to look for an apartment for me to live. They were accommodating and open for suggestions that I make while choosing one for me. They granted almost everything that I wanted and made sure that I am pleased with the home they gave me. it was a great service provided!

As someone who does business with this company, I have to say that they are nothing short of exceptional at the services they offer. They understand that in order to run a successful business, you have to first be able to nurture your most precious resource – the human resource. In that vein, I have observed that they have mastered every aspect of the people equation. They are phenomenal with business to business relationships. That I know. They treat their employees well (a close friend of mine works there). And finally, the landlord/tenant relationships are great because I actually have family members who live there and I’ve been to their apartments and the apartments are gorgeous. Zara’s tenants are actually their best advertisers because they go on and on about how great of an experience they have living at Zara. This is why I say they understand the value of the human resource in all aspects of their business and how it helps them to grow. For these reasons, I recommend them without hesitation. I hope to rent with them one day. 5 Stars all the way!

The building is so well maintain that things rarely get broken and the few times we have had to contact maintenance, they were on it immediately. It’s surreal the way they take care of business. If their customer service could be spread to all other apartment buildings in Queens, life for all renters would be so much easier. haha. The building is impeccable in its appearance. Gorgeous on the outside and even more so on the inside. The guys work around the clock to make sure this building is well taken care of and they are simply the best at what they do! They never forget to say hi to you when they see you. Always puts a smile on my face. They are really really good at what they do and it shows. Props to them for that! They are a pleasure to talk to. We have had a great relationship over the years. They are always friendly, polite and nice. Whenever I hear anyone’s looking for an apartment, I always recommend Zara. I highly recommend them without any reservations whatsoever.

What an awesome experience this was. I talked to many real estate agents to rent an apartment for my daughter but I didn’t find transparency in their procedures and the properties and units were not as per my requirements. Finally, I came across these guys they explained everything in detail and kept nothing hidden. I checked out 3-4 apartments and finally selected one. It was quick. Their agent was so helpful and helped me a lot in choosing first the right location for me, and then the right apartment for me. Thanks

Our company does insulation work for Zara and I have to say I am quite impressed with the level of service and professionalism that we’ve received over the years from these guys. It’s uncommon to find good, decent people these days, especially in the world of business. But companies like Zara give me hope that there are still authentic, honest people out there. I have been communicating personally with Rishaad over the past few weeks, and he always goes above and beyond in his efforts to find me some sort of resolution to my issues. In cases where he is unable to help, he directs me to the appropriate people who can help and that means a lot to me. We’ve done some maintenance work at their Flushing and Elmhurst locations and we can vouch for the excellent condition of the buildings. I personally know at least 2 of the tenants and I’ve personally asked them their opinion about zara and they always say “no complaints.” No complaints in the apartment rental business is a huge win for Zara. While I’m not going to embellish their words, I’m not going to downplay them either. “No complaints” says a lot to me about the character of this business. This, coupled with my personal experience with the staff, leaves me in a solid position to recommend zara both as a company to rent from and a company with which to do business. They are trustworthy and no-nonsense kind of people and that’s a positive in my eyes.

We’re a company that does boiler work for Zara. We have been doing work for them for as long as I can remember. As such, we’re in a unique position to judge their character and integrity as a company. We can proudly say that Zara has been absolutely phenomenal in their business relationship with us over the years. When we have any issues regarding bills, we reach out to Rishaad and he takes care of it. We have never walked away from a project with a sour taste in our mouth. They really have a way of making you feel at home and I know that this translates into their landlord/tenant relationships as well. They just can’t help it. It’s the way they are. If you live in Queens, it’s almost certain that somebody you know is a resident at Zara. This is the case for us. Many of our friends and even family members in some cases, live at a Zara building and we can vouch firsthand for the cleanliness of the buildings. Their resident community is of the highest caliber and rents are reasonable. We recommend Zara wholeheartedly!

I have been living here for a while now and we just signed and renewed our lease and we never want to leave. When we first moved in, we requested a few minor things be done. I can report that the guys who came did everything to our satisfaction within just a few hours. This building is is all we ever wanted and more. We always wanted to live in a quiet, serene area that would keep out the noise from traffic or neighbors etc. That has been made a reality for us by moving in here. Thanks guys. I have to give credit where it’s due.. and credit is due to the maintenance guys. Amazing amazing service that definitely sets them apart from other apartment buildings. These guys are extremely polite and professional and they do really really good work. They even explained the work they were doing as they were doing it. Really incredible service! The management and maintenance team take a lot of pride in this building. You can quickly tell especially when you wake up early in the morning and realize those guys are already up taking care of their duties. Really admire their work ethic. Recommend them 500%. Keep up the good work guys!

I recently approached them for an apartment. Their response was marked by quickness and courtesy. Their agent was knowledgeable and friendly. He showed me some amazing apartments according to my needs. Big, medium sized, cozy. Loved them all. The apartments I most want tend to be big, spacious and beautifully constructed. And that’s what I went for and that’s what I ended up choosing. So now currently, I am living in their apartment and enjoying every single bit of time I have spent so far at the place. All thing considered I cannot say enough good things about living here. The move in process was super smooth and super easy and they kept making sure I was well informed about everything that was happening. Also, it’s so clean here. It’s comfortable. It has spacious parking. The office staff is an incredibly hardworking group of individuals. I feel very safe.

Thank you so much Zara Realty! It really makes continually renting from you an easy decision. The apartments that they suggested to me are up-to-date, well-kept and clean, and the landlord is very helpful and quick to respond if there are ever any questions or something that needs to be addressed. Aside from comfortable living, this realty even helped me look for an affordable apartment that would fit my budget. Highly recommended!

I had a great experience with Zara. My agent went out of his way to help me find an apartment according to my need. Really appreciate his efforts. Thanks!!! I know they’ll take good care of me. I have family members who live here who speak about how nice these people are so I’m really not worried about that. So far it’s been excellent. We finally moved in about a month ago, and I had some personal requests that I thought would be a burden to the staff but to my surprise they took care of it and made sure they did whatever they had to do to make me feel at home. All in all, I am really enjoying life here! 100% recommend them.

Our intention was to find a building that was centrally located with beautiful spacious apartments. That’s exactly what we found at Zara! The building, if you’ve never seen it, is really beautiful and took our breath away when we first laid eyes on it. It is really well taken care of. They must probably get up so early in the morning as I leave for work pretty early and they’re always already up cleaning and doing what they have to do to keep the building in great condition. They always look my way and greet me too. I feel like I’m in good hands and whenever I need help the building reps are easily accessible and friendly to deal with. This place is a slam dunk once you compare it to all the other apartment complexes around here. The reason is simple: The office staff is like family. They are truly responsible for me feeling the way I feel. I feel like this is my forever home and they look and sound like they will do anything possible to ensure I am happy and comfortable. I really appreciate that. The entire building is just an architectural marvel to look at. You can tell that a lot of thought has been put into the construction of this building. For the price you pay here, you will not find a better apartment in this area. Moving to Zara was the best decision I ever made as I truly enjoy living here.

Looking for an apartment in New York can be VERY stressful, you have to go from street to street to look for something cheaper but a nice place to live. But with the help of Zara Realty, everything went smoothly, even we had been in time pressure to move in for working reasons. Our apartment was beautiful, fully furnished, it was in a nice location and even when we needed to fix something – they still provided great assistance! I was more than happy with them at my back, they went above the standard I was expecting. Thank you so much!

I have read countless reviews about other apartment buildings when I was looking for an apartment and most of the negative reviews centered around bad neighbors. I’m happy to say I have yet to encounter any bad people who live in this building. If they exist, I am yet to meet them or hear of them. I have met zero obnoxious people and have not had to put up with noise or anything of that sort which I hear is a blessing in apartment buildings generally speaking. My apartment itself is really well constructed and beautiful. All of the finishes everywhere is gorgeous especially in the living room and kitchen and the shower is fantastic. Everything is brand new when you move in. What more can you ask for? All the nice restaurants are close by and the price for an apartment here is very reasonable in my opinion. 100% recommend..5 Stars!

Look - if this is in your price range and you are looking to live in Queens, do yourself a favor and move here immediately. I recommend this place 100%. YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER PLACE THAN THIS!! PERIOD! I’ve lived here for more than a year and I’ve been nothing short of blown away by their service. I’ll tell you this right now, if you’ve made up your mind about moving here, you better hurry because I see more and more people moving in every day. The staff is attentive, friendly and helpful. Any request for repairs, no matter how small, is handled promptly. I’ve had about 2 issues with repairs so far, which in my experience is really really good. The community here stays connected and there are many events throughout the year that they hold that I take my kids to and they love it. The building is located in a great neighborhood with hundreds of things to do, grocery stores and restaurants that make living here such a nice experience. The view from our window in our apartment is also really nice. It’s also quite something to see the building being taken care of by the maintenance people on a daily basis. They really do a great job in keeping this place spotless. I highly recommend living here.

This is an amazing company with AMAZING staff! I have worked with dozens of companies, trying to find an apartment that matched my needs but my efforts were all in vain. I was frustrated. So I started searching on the internet and found them. Their buildings were great and agents were friendly and patient. I just signed my lease and I’ve never felt better about renting an apartment in ny. Best experience I ever had.

Zara Realty is great! Fast response time, nice agents, and courteous employees. Management is good and they manage everything smartly and efficiently. I love my apartment and am thankful for their efforts. These guys are no doubt the biggest realty place in Queens NY and that’s probably for a reason. I thought Id be doing myself a disservice if im looking for an apartment and im not checking them out. Plain and simple. I owe that much to myself. I didn’t necessarily have to rent from them but i can't not check them out if im renting in Queens. Almost never came across them were it not for a close friend of mine who rents with them. The way he explained the place, the service, the people, I honestly thought he was exaggerating and that it was a case of confirmation bias. But yeah he wasn't exaggerating. I began renting with them exactly a week after I met with an agent. The only regret I have is not renting sooner. Recommend you check them out now if you’re looking to rent in Queens.

One day on my way home I passed by one of Zara’s building with a open house sign. I took the number and gave them a call the next day to set up a tour. It was one of the best rental decisions me and my husband made. After viewing the apartment did the paperwork and was approved the same day! This was a great start for us because we are both working people with little time to spare. Our move in process was smooth and we enjoy living here. Our super is great with repairs and works around our schedule. With our family extending it’s no surprise that we decided to get a two bedroom apartment with them. Best part it comes with TWO bathrooms. Ideal for be being pregnant and all and my family. We have lived with Zara for 5 years and we look forward to continue living with them.

fter checking out almost every apartment building in Queens, I came to the conclusion that I had to live at Zara and I do not regret it one bit. Few of the things that stood out to me was how nice all the buildings looked and how clean the lobbies are, but most of all was how nice the staff is. I had a few issues while moving in, but they were resolved in no time. Plus the maintenance crew is on point with everything. The office staff take their time on the phone with us and answer all our questions to our satisfaction. No complaints there. The building itself has been absolutely phenomenal so far. Being next to the subway makes it so convenient for us and we are very grateful for that fact. Commuting is a breeze for us now whereas before it was a hassle. I would definitely recommend looking into renting from them if you’re currently looking for an apartment.

I have friends who live here and I personally know some of the folks who work here. It is in this capacity that I leave this review. They are the kindest and friendliest people I know and their communication style is one marked by patience and openness. I have known them for many years and they have always been this way. They are very personable and approachable. All my friends who live here say the same thing – that they did their research and decided that Zara is the best place to live among all the other apartment buildings in the area. I recommend them 100% for all your apartment rental needs!

I don't do this often but I felt I needed to show my appreciation. I spoke to a young lady by the name of Jacinia or Jessenia (I'm sorry not sure the spelling). And she made me feel at ease and was very helpful in getting my situation solved. I've dealt with customer managers before and actually dread it. But Jacinia was very personable. I admittedly get nervous at times, but she calmed me down and eased me into solving my situation. Thank you very much Jacina and Zara Realty

Hi everyone. I work at 101 Plumbing and we’ve had a business relationship with Zara for a really long time. We’ve had our ups and downs over the years but in the end they always treated us fairly and have gone above and beyond on a few occasions to help us out. I personally work with Rishaad on a one to one basis and he has always been super helpful to us when we need help with anything check-related. They always treat us professionally and Rishaad is always very courteous on the phone or in emails to us. Today we disputed that few invoices were unpaid and he calmly and patiently explained that they were in fact paid and it turns out he was right. He did not take this opportunity to chastise us but as a result of this encounter, I feel that our business relationship is stronger. It’s a pleasure to work the businesses like this because in today’s world, there are countless rude and angry people. I deal with them everyday so I know this firsthand. Keep up the good work guys. I recommend Zara and can personally vouch for their professionalism and honesty.

I lived in their apartment 2 years ago when I was in Queens for my studies. Now I am here again because of my job. My last experience with them was memorable and I never thought, I would get a chance of living with them again. I rented one of their apartment again but in a different location. Nothing has changed they are dependable and reliable as they were. Kudos.

I’ve enjoyed my experience with Zara for the past few years. Complex is clean and well maintained. Also would like to commend Jacinia for her professionalism when I run into issues or questions. I’m not a patient person so I commend her for listening and helping whenever it’s needed. Would recommend Zara to anyone looking for apartments.

Exceptional services. Apartments from Zara are decent and affordable. I have been living here since 2017 and have no words to express my experience. I can safely vouch for the quality of service from them. They are like family to me now. When I first move in, this whole rental process and apartment building living experience was new to me. But now I can’t even think of living anywhere else and what that would be like. This place is my home and I love it here. My apartment is very nice and I didn’t have to do much decorating to make it look nice. It was nice from the beginning. The neighborhood is thriving. It wasn’t always this way. But now everyone is living here and the place is a cultural hub that everyone wants to be a part of. I say move now while the rents are still relatively affordable in this area. Their professional services are unbeatable and price is competent. They provide free maintenance which is really commendable. I intend to take my family here next year. Living here is just like living in my own home. Thanks guys for giving me this incredible experience.

Reliable services. This company is one of the best companies I have ever done business with. They are professionals and they treat me with respect. I have done business with them multiple times and I can vouch for their honesty and their professionalism. I don’t live with them myself but I have friends and family members who do and they all say the same thing. They say that these guys are good people and that the bad press they get is from a few disgruntled tenants who want their own way. I don’t know every detail of every situation but I believe my friends and family and like I said I have done business with them and they are the nicest people I can think of. Highly recommend and if I ever need an apartment, I will most definitely rent with them.

Excellent customer support. I finally got my dream apartment with these guys. Apartment is modern and extremely beautiful. Although it took a long time but I am happy with this place. I made a shift to the apartment last month and have no words to express my 30 day’s experience, that is memorable. All my neighbors are helpful. I am really thankful to these guys for providing me with such a beautiful facility. Honestly.

80-25 Parsons blvd is one of the best luxury and cleanest buildings Zara has to offer. Zara realty staff was always able to answer my phone calls and emails in a timely manner with great professionalism. Daniel Decastro provides some of the best tenant services and go to guy for any questions.

Memorable living experience! I feel lucky to have discovered Zara Realty. After searching for a nice place for long time, I was about to give up hope, when I just stumbled upon this place by accident. It was one of the best thing that has happened to me since I moved. The apartment is extremely beautiful, spacious, quiet and safe. The staff members are also very helpful and friendly. And, most importantly, I feel happy to coming home to my apartment. Overall a great place to live!

I used to live at 94-25 Elmhurst building and It was a pleasure living there, very good supers, building was always clean and the staff at the management office was very nice to me. Daniel from the office service to me was excellent, he went above and beyond to assist me in all my concerns, customer service 10/10.

Zara Realty Holding Corp. is a lifesaver!! I was new in the city and was in search of an apartment to live in. They proved to be a great help. The properties their agents showed to me was stunning from inside and outside plus surroundings were also great. My building is near everything I can possibly need and is easily accessible. Happy with my decision of choosing them. My time here so far is blessed. The community is quiet, tight knit and and very well kept. Amazing apartments for the price but like everyone else is saying, the thing most worthy of note is the office (and I’d add) maintenance staff. The property managers, are incredible. I just don’t have the words truth be told. Whenever I needed something they would get maintenance on it ASAP and they would have my issue resolved as quickly as possible. Love it.

We have been residing here in this building for 4 years now and we plan to continue living here for the foreseeable future. We abolsutely love the place and the staff for many many reasons. First off, the location is perfect. It is within walking distance of nearly everything…many popular restaurants and stores, many offices, including my own, hardware store, drug store, clothing stores, grocery stores, anything you can possible want is literally a block away. Love that about this neighborhood and other neighborhoods like this. Like i said, basically everything you need is right around the block - not the slightest exaggeration. The subway is also a block away. How can you beat that? You can’t! The management is also great. The sound proofing of the apartments is extremely good. We can't hear anything from our neighbors. How is that even possible? I don’t know but it is if you live here. That’s a good thing because noise nuisance can be a serious problem at apartment buildings. I know this from past experience. I honestly used to think that noise complaints, hearing your neighbors play bad music at odd hours and other noise related problems like those were inevitable annoyances of living in an apartment building, but Zara has shown me otherwise. Definitely something that people take for granted.

I have lived here for about seven years now and have had a great experience. What can i say? I am blessed. I moved into Zara after never seeing the apartment or even Queens NYC. I moved from Pennsylvania. I cannot begin to tell you enough how blessed I am to have sort of randomly chosen this place! I thought it might be too pricey, but after looking at surrounding apartments, this definitely is the nicest and has the greatest value for your money! The people I meet tell me they pay the same for their small apartment but don't have the space and quality of service that i get - beautiful floors, amazing staff and so on. The location is really good. Far enough to be quiet and pretty and charming, close enough to walk easily to al the good restaurants. I walk to the subway everyday to get to work. Nice grocery stores close by and several to choose from and the people in the neighborhood and in the building are really friendly people. All in all, I would highly recommend living here!

The best thing about them is that they really know the industry inside and out because they’ve been doing this for years. I'm not renting with them currently but I was a tenant up until last year, when I became a home owner. Incidentally, it’s probably due to the value that i got for my money from renting there that led to my home ownership but that’s another story for another time. My apartment was so spacious that i remember signing up so quickly after i had a tour because i knew if i didn’t seize the opportunity, i’d lose the deal to someone else. Honestly the biggest I've seen in all my years of renting, and boy did we rent a lot at the time. But yeah, we quickly sealed the deal and were happy tenants from there on. Before we moved to Zara, we moved from apartment building to apartment building. Like a previous reviewer said, it's the peace of mind that makes it all worth it. You get exactly what you want and they're pretty flexible with everything. They are just great people overall. Trust me you're not going to find better prices for those apartments. The value is real. We did our homework and looked for years. I definitely recommend

I have been renting from Zara for about a year. I am originally from Long Island and this is my first experience renting on Queens. Disclaimer: I also do business with these guys and I personally liaise with Rishaad on a regular basis and he is nothing short of professional in all his business dealing with me. But yeah when I first started renting here, I met with an agent and he showed me a couple of buildings and different apartments. I eventually ended up putting in an application on the same day. I ended up taking a studio 6 months ago and have no regrets. I was and still am highly impressed with Rishaad and Zara’s professionalism. This is the reason I ended up getting the apartment the same day to be honest. I enjoy the apartment nicely finished, the building upgraded , my neighbors are pleasant and the management team down to the porters are friendly and prompt.

Finding the right home in today’s murky market of popup realty entities can be such a dark maze. That’s what made my experience with Zara Realty so special. Talk about peace of mind, professionalism, and representatives that go above and beyond, this company embodies that. They were efficient in communication and addressing my preferences. They were reliable and on point with all appointments. They made me feel important and that they had a personal stake in ensuring my happiness and satisfaction. Once I found my dream spot, the agent I was working with helped me out so much with all my questions etc. We had a good laugh because I told them handing out my money to strangers makes me nervous. I appreciate and respect them and they appreciate and respect me, and everything has been stupendous ever since. Enjoying my new apartment Thanks to Zara and their fantastic team!

Hi guys! i lived here for 5 years. I moved but the only reason I moved is because I transferred to my job’s Florida location. But i have to give them 5 stars because my experience there was one of the best experiences living at an apartment building i have ever had. For the first week or two I moved here, I had the feeling like I was the only person in the building. I never heard a sound from a single neighbor no exaggeration, and occasionally would hear a loud laughs from my other neighbor but i barely heard that.. That's it. You could hear hallway noise somewhat easily from the kitchen/living room, but hardly ever, plus that was hardly ever an issue since the hallway didn't get a ton of foot traffic, truth be told. One other thing is that they were very quick with their replies to maintenance requests. The guys were always in uniform and smartly dressed. they always were 100% professional. The value you get for your money here is exceptional. I paid a reasonable amount of money for a top floor, recently renovated apartment. Much better value, in my opinion, than any of those newly built apartments in Queens. Trust me. I priced quite a few other places before i moved to Zara. The management here actually care. Besides promptly taking care of maintenance issues, they don't give you the run around. I recommend them without hesitation!

We have been a customer of Zara Realty for quite some time now. We are a plumbing supply company that sells plumbing supplies to them. We continue to do business with them because we see all the great things they do for their tenants and we have a long history of being treated well and fairly by them. I personally deal with Rishaad. I recently had a few hiccups that I needed to sort out and as always he was able to help us promptly and courteously. Zara also operates in the neighborhood in which we run our business and they have a really good reputation and standing among our customers. I am proud to recommend them to anyone for an apartment and I know we will continue to have a great relationship going forward.

Really love it here. The building is beautiful and well situated. Where it’s located is good because everything is so close. Where i lived before you kinda needed a car to move around and get the things you need in life but not here. Everything is walking distance. And that’s just awesome to me. Easily accessible from any subway or bus. So many beautiful local grocery stores and restaurants. The supermarkets here probably have the best and freshest produce selection in all of NYC. My apartment itself is really affordable and spacious. The floors are beautiful. Before I moved in it was redone with modern kitchen appliances installed etc. Sadly, I am leaving Zara after being here just over 4 years but boy I am so impressed that i had to leave this review. My time here has been nothing short of fantastic. The apartments are nice and rodent free, the people are all professionals. I mean the people who live here. Yes the management are all professional you’d expect that but the people who live here are quality really top notch friendly people. What else? Let me see….the appliances are brand new and shiny stainless steel and work really well. Like I said already, the floors are all polished and look amazing. The building is beautiful with the hallways and lobby and the outside of the building well taken care of daily. The staff is also very helpful and I will miss them dearly. Thank you guys for all that you did for me. Highly recommend Zara to everyone!

We have actually been living at Zara for almost ten years and honestly there is perhaps no one better, no better ambassador to represent the building than me! I lived in 2 separate units over the course of my time there - 1 one-bedroom unit with roommates, and 1 one-bedroom unit on my own. one of the things that I liked when i lived there was because of its age, the apartment was VERY sturdily constructed - you never heard your neighbors. I ended up moving out into a brand new condo that I bought, where I could hear literally everything my upstairs neighbors did. A rude awakening after 10 years at Zara! So yeah, all this to say that I took that for granted when i was living at Zara but now that i live elsewhere i really appreciate the value of the peace and quiet and privacy that i had when i was living here. 5 stars all the way!

Zara Realty is the best at what they do. Really amazing units with prices you'll find nowhere else in this area. We have been living here for a few years now and we have everything we need. All the best supermarkets and stores are nearby and that means a lot to us. Trains are a few blocks away and buses are everywhere. It is super convenient. We could not have chosen a better option, all things considered. Our apartment is very very beautiful and the floors are really really nice. The manager here is really nice to us and we really appreciate him from the bottom of our heart. The office staff is also really friendly, patient, and courteous. I have personally been recommending Zara to all my friends and family ever since we moved in!

I have been living at zara for 4 years now. It all started when our previous landlord was starting to become unbearable. We started looking for a new place and came across zara on the internet. We did our due diligence and by the next week we were touring apartments. We quickly settled on one of the apartments that caught out eye and transitioned into it within the next week. Our apartment is very quiet and cozy. The leasing folks, upper managements, the office employees, and even then maintenance guys are always very friendly, professional, and patient with us. The super is also very good and is excellent at his job. He is a staple in this neighborhood and everyone knows him :) Our neighbors are friendly and our kids and friends with heir kids. We’re just one big family here. We have never had a single issue or problem so far living here. Big shout out and thanks to the entire Zara team for always making us feel at ease and at home.

You are not going to get a better apartment complex in Queens for the price. I will tell you that right now. Beautiful lobby with impeccable hallways and nicely lit outside and nice garden in front. Love it. The neighborhood is incredibly vibrant. I was more than nervous about moving to Queens alone and i was scared over security but after seeing how brightly lit this place is and hearing all the positive reviews i feel safe. It means a lot to know that I have never, ever, felt uncomfortable inside the building or in the surrounding neighborhood. Cant really complain. I am really happy here at zara. I think the best things about living here are the people who live here the people who manage it and the customer service. Office staff are really down to earth and kind people. Love them for that. Front desk is delightful and always has a smile on their faces. Service requests are promptly responded to and the super is a simple man with a big heart. Really cool people.The building super is the best super I've ever had in my rental history. He is very patient, unbelievably kind, and makes everything a breeze when you need his help. Anything you need, he's there for you. Love that guy. The building itself is beautiful and has a certain charm to it. Not a single issue was wrong in my unit in the years I have been living here. Everyone is friendly and almost all my neighbors are really nice. All the people who live here are decent and quiet and completely understanding of other peoples religions etc. I cannot stress enough how perfect this place is. You can't beat the location and the price is right. Recommend highly.

Wish everyone was like Zara. No complaints whatsoever here. I live here and I love it here. I’m not sure if it is but if it’s the same management that runs all their buildings in queens, then I recommend all the other buildings too as I heard from friends that apartments there are also really nice and spacious.You will not get the value you get at zara or the price anywhere else. Mark my word. Do your own research obviously but you’ll see what I’m talking bout.Zara is surrounded by the best restaurants and bars in Queens because of where this building is located. Great places surround us including a pharmacy, library, nice restaurants and bars etc…Transportation is easy with the bus stop right outside the apartment which can take you all over the place. The subway is also close by, no more than a 5 minute walk away. These are very convenient things that when you take it all into consideration, makes living here even all the better. The apartment itself is beautiful with beautiful hardwood polished floors and nice closets. Plenty of space for a reasonable price, especially for this location. It’s as perfect as it gets and you don’t feel like you’ve made a bad decision living here. We’ve had a few minor maintenance issues over the 3 year span but overall, we are very happy here. 100% recommend.

My husband and I have a long history with this company. We can 100% attest to their professionalism and their industrious work ethic. Our relationship is one of mutual respect, courtesy, and efficiency. They say what they mean and mean what they say. It’s a real pleasure working with Rishaad on a month to month basis. I also happen to have friends who live at Zara buildings and the praise they all have for this company doesn’t surprise me. If i’m treated the way I am as a customer, i know for a fact that residents are treated the same, or even better. We really value them as a company and want to take this opportunity to recommend them to anyone looking for an apartment, whether it be in Queens or Long Island. Do yourself a solid and check them out. Thank me later!

They truly care about their tenants. They pay heed to our needs and requirements. At the beginning after I entered my apartment I needed to have some changes. They listened to me and fulfilled all my requirements. I am thankful to them for going above and beyond to resolve my concerns and giving me a comfortable living experience. Place looks super modern, my apartment has super large bedrooms and I’m just really proud to call this place home. Closet space is also ridiculously huge. I can probably go on and on about more stuff but this is basically a summary of my experience and I’m excited to be living here. For too long I’ve been deprived of a living experience like this.

My apartment is on the 4th floor and it is incredibly spacious with high ceilings, lots of windows, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a very spacious kitchen with new appliances. It's a great deal for this area which has become a cultural hub. I dont see anybody mentioning the park so I will! Call me old fashioned but I still love a good old walk in the park. Parks are literally right next door, and they are extremely beautiful. There are lots of joggers, soccer players, picnickers, and all kinds of great people enjoying the park and the pretty fountains during the day in the summer. And you just can't beat the location. Zara is close to all the good restaurants and grocery stores etc. Everything is a short 5 to 10 minute walk away. The office staff is always very clear and upfront about the fees, and they all make sense. Never had a problem with heating. If I ever had any maintenance problems, one quick call is made in the morning, and before you know it everything is fixed. I've lived in several apartment buildings in the Queens area, and nothing's better than Zara. It doesn't claim to be absolutely perfect, but it’s better than everything else I know. Highly highly recommend!!

at a time when I was down and out and no one else wanted to help me, not even family. I will always be grateful for what they did for me and I continue to praise them for everything they are doing for me now. Thank you guys so much. My apartment is perfect for me. It is very big. Not too big, but not too small either. Just the perfect size and the employees are angels who toil hours upon hours. I know this for a fact. I know one of the guys who work on one of the buildings and he’s one of the most honest people I know. We have been leasing this beautiful apartment from Zara for the last 3 years and have had a terrific living experience. The apartment is not only in a great location but has been carefully maintained. The level of care stayed consistent throughout our 3 years, whenever we had an issue they were very quick to resolve it. We are so thoroughly happy and would definitely live here for much longer. I recommend them if you are looking for an apartment in the area. You will not regret. Thank you

I just finished apartment hunting with Zara by having a beautiful apartment at a beautiful location. I got the apartment as per my desires. It has all the facilities, plus surrounding is so beautiful. I am living here with my husband and children. They like the place too. The best thing that everyone would like most probably is that it is located on the walking distance from the main subway line, plus the best grocery stores are nearby that enables to fetch grocery and other stuff easily. Highly recommended!!

Zara Realty has truly made my NY experience. I moved out to Jamaica from the Midwest and came across Zara, so I decided to reach out. After speaking with the leasing agent, I took a tour and moved in a few days later. Best decision I have ever made, as my place was spacious, close to the Subway and right near C-Town Supermarket (love their chocolate chip cookies). I would highly recommend Zara Realty for anyone moving to NY!

Zara Realty has an amazing employees which are a pleasure to work with. I personally work with Rishaad Ishmail accounts payable department which immediately took care of any unpaid invoices. As a vendor it is hard to come across management companies which are willing to be so helpful. They really do seem like a company that tries making sure everyone they work with is happy. I am sure this amazing work ethic shown by their accounts payable department translates over to all the departments in the company. I am personally very pleased with their services.

Jacinia Sanchez is the epitome of professionalism, dedication and responsiveness you would hope to find in someone helping you to figure out your next place to live; luckily I found her. Not only does she represent herself and Zara well but also is a valued member of the community she works in. I’m on my second lease with Zara because of working with people like Jancinia. Definitely a good person to contact should you need anything, if it’s not her department she’ll get you to the right people.

I moved here about 2 years ago because I was in a rush to find me a new apartment, but looking back it was the best thing I ever did and didn’t realize it at the time. I have had so many friends tell me about the bad experiences they have had with other landlords and when I compare it to mine, I live in paradise. MY place is so nice and huge and it has lots of windows unlike my last apartment. Lots of windows mean lots of light and I love lots of light, especially when I’m taking my selfies. It makes the pictures look professional. They communicate very clearly and professionally and are always there to help you when you need it the most at least that has been my experience thus far. They’re nothing short of amazing in my eyes and I have a lot of gratitude for all that they’ve done for me. They just went above and beyond to make sure the process was as smooth as possible and it honestly was.

Zara is currently the best place for a dream apartment we have come across after surveying numerous options. The reason why we choose Zara Realty, is due to the fact that they have always kept up to the expectations of customers without compromising on quality and commitments. That has been my personal experience and the experience of lots of people I spoke to about them. They are the brand we chose to trust and we are glad we did because now we have no second thoughts of recommending people renting from them. My apartment is spacious and well built and exactly what I was looking for.

Of all my years of living in Queens, Zara Realty ranks #1 on my list. Where do I begin? Right from the start you know you're dealing with professionals who know what they're doing and who have your best interest at heart. Everything is explained to you in detail and all your questions are answered with professorial skill. I thoroughly enjoyed the process and can't remember a time when looking for an apartment was this rewarding. Please do yourself a favor and call these guys if you're looking for an apartment. You're just wasting time calling anyone else. The level of professionalism is unmatched. There's no one else out here who's offering what these guys are offering and there's no one else out here who's handling business like these guys are. It's quite refreshing. If I could give them 6 stars I would.

I've been living here for almost a year now. The super Mahendra is the nicest person. He always responds as quickly as he can to any concerns we have. Can't complain about my apartment. Everything works as it should. Heat is sufficient. AC works like magic. I know that doesn't sound like much but if you've had bad landlords like I had in the past, you'll understand why that's a big deal. The location couldn't be better. I'm literally one minute away from the subway. And this place buzzes with life. Restaurants, supermarkets. There's a beautiful park behind our building. Now let's talk about safety. The front of the building is lit so brightly that it is visible from blocks away. Doors are super Heavy and reinforced. There's not a single time I've felt unsafe in this place. Thank you guys and keep up the good work.

They’re great company to rent for. So professional in every aspects and their teamwork was really great. Everybody is willing to help you; answering your questions and if there’s anything problem occurs they immediately fix it. One of the best decisions that I’ve rented from them, their customer service is consistently excellent.

I recently rented a new place from Zara Realty and I couldn’t ask for nothing more. I am very happy with my decision to move into one of their buildings, I first met with their broker Tushan who was very knowledgeable, friendly and helped me to get the perfect apartment in the short timeframe I had to move. The customer service is great and the entire staff at Zara always greets you with a smile and are very helpful to your needs. My apartment was newly renovated and the grounds and facilities are safe and kept clean every day by friendly courteous workers. It’s a great place to call "home". The best choice I ever made to live here, I don’t think I would feel safer anywhere else in Queens. Thanks Zara!!!

In all my years of living in NYC, I've never had my landlord hold a tenant appreciation day. First when I saw the sign in our lobby that said they'll be holding a party for us, I was a bit skeptical. The Super kept telling us to make sure we come out and celebrate every time he saw us. On the day of the event, I wasn't gonna go. But then the music started and I saw that the place was packed and I saw people I knew from my building with their kids. I took my kids and it was fun. I didn't feel pressured. I signed up for the raffle. The prizes were nice too. A toaster, a pot set, a vacuum cleaner and something else. Can't remember. I didn't win. But it was exciting. My neighbor won the pot set. I was happy for her. The food was amazing. There were guys doing fresh bbq, hot dogs etc. And they were also handing out free snacks and drinks for the kids. I didn't win the raffle but I walked away with free laundry bags, two coffee cups and a coloring book the kids. Next year I'll be coming out for sure again.

My kids loved the backpacks you guys recently gave away at your Hillside office. We got there early because we knew the lines would be long. You guys did a pretty good job moving that line along too btw. Anyway, I'm thankful for the backpacks because the money I would have spent on two school bags, I used for other essentials. The backpacks are really high quality too.

Hi, my boyfriend and I had to leave our previous apartment due to our previous landlord being a horrible person. One day as I was going to work I saw the Zara sign that said apartments for rent. I thank the Lord to this day for allowing me to call them. They have helped me in ways you cannot imagine. Most landlords do not have the compassion and the kindness of these people. If other landlords like them exist, I have yet to encounter them. These guys literally listened to my cries and helped me at a time when most would probably exploit my sorrow. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you guys for all you've done for me. It means the world to me. This is my payback to you. Everyone needs to know about who you guys truly are. Hope to keep the great relationship going.

Been a tenant for over 15 years. I read the few bad reviews here and I wonder what these people are talking about. Zara has shown my family and I nothing but the utmost respect ever since we got this apartment. So many of the tenants in my building say the greatest things about Zara but I don’t see them leaving reviews on here. Some tenants come here to this page only to vent because f the one issues they’re having and then they blow it out of proportion. They’re here to complain about the one bad day they had and forget about the million other fabulous days Zara has afforded them. I’m not one of those tenants. Yes you will hear from me when I have complaints. But I will do it the right way. Some tenants are mad because Zara operates by the book. They are principled and require you to follow the rules. This is what some tenants are complaining about, but this is what I love about them. It’s a symbiotic relationship whereby we hold each other accountable for our actions. My kids love it here. I don’t plan on moving from here in the foreseeable future. My apartment is exactly the way I want it. I wish more people would come on here not just when they want to complain but also to say all the great things Zara has done for them.

We had an amazing experience finding a home through Zara Realty. Very impressed with the service received, they were so helpful and friendly. The realtor would even go beyond and above to get us in last minute and help us with lease signing. The whole process was so smooth and prompt. We were very with the place we had now. Couldn't be more happier!

My apartment has beautiful, polished wooden floors. I can't get over how beautiful it is. The space is the perfect size for my family. All kitchen appliances are stainless steel. I love it here. Just moved in 3 months ago. Every day after work, I'm so excited to go back home, for the first time in a long time. Sad but true.

The experience at Zara has been nothing short of amazing. Glossy wooden floors. Impeccable stainless steel appliances. Humungous rooms. We have ZERO regrets about renting here. Our Super is a really nice guy. He responds to our concerns as quickly as he can. On certain occasions, I wish he would be quicker but I know that’s just us being a little unreasonable. I speak to friends who rent at other places and they say our Super’s response time is really fast so I’m not gonna complain about that. We’re up on the 11th floor and the view of Queens from up there is craaaaazzzzzzyyyyy. It’s Queens like you’ve never seen it before. Whenever we have visitors, it’s always fun to watch their reactions during sunset. Everyone is blown away. I guess we lucked out with this apartment.

ara is THE place to live. I've lived here for ten years. Before Zara took over the building, it was a complete mess. The previous landlord was unable to upkeep the building’s maintainence. But all of that has changed after it was taken over by Zara Realty, where the building has now become a safe haven to live. From the old to the new, I now have stainless steel appliances, polished wooden floors to walk on and best of all, a great building supervisor who is courteous and looks out for the residents. Thank you to the Zara Realty team for making my apartment the best and luxurious one to live in!

Zara Realty has really helpful employees. Got all my questions and requests answered right away. Their accounts payable team is the absolute best because they were able to help me resolved some issues with old invoices once it was brought to their attention. I can assure anyone 100% that if my concerns were brought up sooner, they would’ve been resolved just as quickly. Having such helpful employees as part of their team is what every business needs to be successful. 👏🏼👍🏼

We just started renting with Zara Realty a few weeks ago. The real estate agents are super super friendly and the process was way smoother than we expected. Everything and I mean everything is laid out to you in detail and never did we feel like we were being sold something. We were in charge of the process the entire time. They weren't like other agents we've met who try to force their vision of a perfect apartment on you. These people plainly told us what they have to offer and let us decide for ourselves the entire time. Plus they were there when we needed guidance or had questions about the apartments or prices etc. Look, the truth is that there are hundreds of realty places around, especially in the Queens NY area. So you can go anywhere you like. But we're glad we chose here because of the peace of mind we now enjoy. Our apartment is exactly what we wanted and is the most beautiful apartment we've seen since we've been looking for an apartment.

My name is Empress I am the Community Sales Specialist with Spectrum for all Zara locations. I work closely with Zara every weekend in the summer, hosting tenant appreciation day. I enjoyed every minute while hosting these events. The staff and superintendents at Zara are very pleasant and helpful. They always make me feel like I am part of their family. I also admire how willingly and selflessly Zara’s staff and the management team embrace their teants and community. Zara includes local vendors to participate in their events and provide giveaways to their tenants. Zara management team and superintendents has demonstrated to me that their properties are one of the most happiest, peaceful and well kept places to call home.

The Staff & R.E. Agents at Zara Realty are extremely helpful, and super knowledgeable on ALL aspects of Real Estate, and especially on the Rules & Regulations relating to Renting an Apartment in Queens, and with them! Their Customer Service & Legal Council teams make it super easy to understand what you're getting into, and actively try to accommodate your needs as best as they can. I would definitely recommend finding your new home through them!! I know I am!!

I absolutely love my apartment and would highly recommend to anyone looking to live in the Queens NY area. I have lived here for a really long time and I just happily renewed my lease. I have to mention that the building itself is gorgeous and they’re always upgrading which is appreciated highly. When you combine the beautiful building, the amazing staff and the diverse neighborhood, this place is unmatched. It can’t get any better than this. I’ll tell you that right now. You can do your own research but I assure you you will come to the same conclusion. Also, if you want, try living at other apartment buildings. Most people are not gonna say that. But I’m gonna say it. Live at other apartment buildings because only then you will come to appreciate how nice the people at zara are. Any issues you have are addressed promptly and professionally. I have lived in multiple other apartments before, including really high end ones. And the management there was nowhere as professional and compassionate as the folks at Zara are. The service and overall professionalism is impeccable and I really appreciate the Zara team. Keep doing what you do. Even though my rent went up a little recently, I did not mind because of the way we get treated here. I re-signed and renewed my lease without hesitation.

I have to be one of the very first people to live here once Zara took over this building and I have to say the experience since then has been nothing short of perfect. I have lived at other “luxury” apartments before and this is by far the best, most phenomenal, in terms of being well kept and having beautiful appliances and beautiful floors and large spacious living spaces. Even the hallways and other communal areas like the lobby is always spotlessly clean. Someone is always mopping the floors or cleaning the hallways or stairs and making sure the lobby smells beautifully and is shining. Love it love it love it. It’s definitely a refreshing feeling when you walk into the building and inhale the fresh, crisp scent of cleanliness. Thank you guys. But I’m far from done. On top of the cleanliness itself, all the apartments are built incredibly well and sturdy. When I was looking for an apartment and they showcased a few of their apartments, right there and then I knew I would be living here although at the time I had to show my pokerface as though I wasn’t really that impressed and as though I had seen apartments like that before. But the truth is I was floored (pun intended lol). I knew right there and then that this was it. We can’t hear our neighbors next door or upstairs. It’s pretty much sounds proof where we are even though we live near all the subways and restaurants and main roads. You can’t even hear the cars passing by unless you crack a window open a little. The management team has been heaven for us. And I’m not just saying that. If I say something, I can back it up 100%. IF they were sh*tty I’d say so too. Every single time I had an issue with something, which to be honest wasn’t often, they handled it right away and fixed it to the point where it never happened again.

Look, I have been renting apartments for over 20 years and no one beats Zara Realty. Straight up! I have lived here for a little over 4 years now and I have nothing but straight love for the management team, office staff and maintenance workers. Let’s start at the leasing staff. Amazing. They’re the most helpful and proactive individuals on the planet and they look out for what’s best for you as the tenant, on an individual basis, which is the way should be done as we are all different people with different wants and needs. Leasing is a buttery smooth process with them and so was my initial move in. Nothing but props for these people, ya heard? Once I moved in, to be honest, I rarely need maintenance or repairs as everything worked flawlessly. I have never really experienced that before. It’s been 4 years and everything just works as it should.

I am writing this review as someone who has lived at Zara Realty Holding Corporation since May of 2009. Yes, Ive been living here almost a full decade now. As such, I kind of feel compelled to write my honest review which I’m telling you right now is gonna be positive to offset the negative ones I’m seeing here because I think it’s unfair. Ive been living here for a decade and my words should have more weight and I definitely have no idea what these negative reviewers are talking about. LEt’s get the first thing out of the way - the building is flawless. Those that don’t see this are the kinds of people that find faults in a sunset. This is NYC and it’s very hard to please anybody. This has got to be one of the best buildings in Queens. There are ZERO flaws. I am the very first tenant to live in the unit that I live in and after all these years, this apartment is still in mint condition. Could it be that the reason other people are complaining is because they don’t take care of their stuff? Could it be that they hold parties all the time and give the place a good trashing? I’m not gonna say more. Take care of your place of abode. It’s not a dorm room. take care of it and it will take care of you. I have yet to see a single crack in any of my walls. I mention this because I’ve seen this happen at other people’s apartments in other buildings. The finishes are pretty neat too. Shiny and polished and everything just looks like a million bucks. Elevator always works. The building staff is beyond terrific, from the front desk to the maintenance folks to the building managers. They're all pretty good at their job and you can tell they love what they do. That kind of gives me confidence that they have my interest at heart. The front desk person is super super friendly, and it's always welcoming when I go in there. I feel as though I'm visiting family. Thank you for that. They have great personalities and they’ve all in all just been fantastic to me. The maintenance staff is very attentive and they know the in and outs of the business. You can tell they have a great deal of experience. I recently had a member of the maintenance crew in to fix some problems I was having in the bathroom, and I gotta tel you, the repair work was really really quick, not a bother or burden to me and was done by a super friendly and jovial guy who could not have been more courteous or more pleasant. The location is excellent and this area is really well known for its variety of food and culture, which i love. And in terms of safety and security, not once have I had a single incident walking to or from any of the nearby subway stations at any hour of the day or night. I’ve never had any problems with any of the neighbors. But others who have been here from the very inception say that the building and the management has a pretty good track record in resolving such issues anyway. Plus even if you have trouble with neighbors, how much can you blame the management for that? I love Zara and I'm very pleased with my decision to live here. Not once have I ever regretted my decision to move in.

Right from the very beginning of doing business with them, I knew that we would have a mutually beneficial and respectful business relationship.

I really enjoyed my year at Zara Realty. The only reason I left was due to graduate school in a different state. The building is maintained very well and very beautiful. Noise wise, I never heard anything from the neighbors next door or across the hall (there are quite a few units on each floor). The sound suppression between adjacent apartments seems top notch. I mean, I did hear the folks walking around upstairs regularly but it was not too bad. I used to clock my walk to the subway in about three to four minutes, if not less. You cannot beat that. The area seems to have changed a lot since I moved in in August 2016 with more restaurants, grocery store, coffee shops, etc opening. It is super safe and there are more folks moving into this area than ever before because of the cultural diversity that flourishes here. The restaurants around here are cream of the crop and I used to love dining out when I lived here. As the other reviewers have stated, the supers here are amazing. I remember our super very well. He was very welcoming when I first came to live here and we talked a little about life and family and stuff and he seemed pretty bummed when I was leaving. He also gave me a little gift before I left. It was a book - the prophet, by Khalil Gibran - the dude actually remembered that I mentioned this book during our introductory meeting and conversation about life and so on. I was soooo moved by this gesture. What a great guy! I really had no issues with the apartment over the course of the year. Lots of light, nice hardwood floors, and I loved that my unit faced the the back of a building. There were no cars on that side. Was always comfortable with heat and so on. I would definitely recommend this place man. In a heartbeat. My time at Zara was really nice. Take note that some of the most beautiful parks in this area are only about a five minute walk away. Cool spot to stroll through, meet people in your area, play chess outside, etc. Overall, I would stay here again!

I've been living at Zara for about 11 months now and have really enjoyed living here. This is the quietest apartment building I've lived in - I never hear my neighbors when I'm in my apartment, and even with a unit that overlooks Hillside ave. I don't find it gets too noisy to be honest. The view from up her is incredible. Probably one of the tallest apartment buildings in queens. Especially at sunset, it’s just absolutely gorgeous. The management of the building is great - everyone is super friendly and runs the building very efficiently. That, i can never complain about. I like how they do business and my only hope is that they keep running it the way they’ve been running it all along. Haven’t had a single major problem yet. While I’ve never really had a serious problem with anything in my unit, when my shower drain was clogged, they got someone up to fix it promptly. That kind of service I can appreciate. Regarding pests, I've never seen any bugs or mice around, so no complaints there. This is a great location, and even in one of the smaller studio units, I find I have a lot of storage and space. Life is good here! Zara Realty to the world ! haha Good luck in finding your next apartment, but i recommend living here.

I am blessed. I moved into Zara at the end of August last year, after never seeing the apartment or even Queens NYC. I moved from Pennsylvania. I cannot begin to tell you enough how blessed I am to have sort of randomly chosen this place! I am a math major so its easiest for me to give bullet points about my experience - I thought it might be too pricey, but after looking at surrounding apartments, this definitely is the nicest and has the greatest value for your money! The people I meet tell me they pay the same for their small apartment but don't have the space and quality of service that i get - beautiful floors, amazing staff, etc. - The neighborhood is incredibly vibrant. I was more than nervous, petrified really, about moving to Queens alone - I worry a lot about stupid things and i was obsessing over security but after seeing how brightly lit this place is and hearing all the positive reviews. It means a lot to know that I have never, ever, felt uncomfortable inside the building or in the surrounding neighborhood. - The location is really good. Far enough to be quiet and pretty and charming, close enough to walk easily to al the good restaurants. I walk to the subway everyday to get to work. Nice grocery stores close by and several to choose from and the people in the neighborhood and in the building are really friendly people. When I was checking reviews online I was very skeptical of the good ones because I always felt they were posted by leasing agents or something! But I can safely say that this place is good and I have little to no complaints. Please do your own research if you have questions about the building, staff, area, etc. (I remember how scary it was deciding on an apartment). It is a big decision so don’t take it lightly. Best wishes on your apartment hunt and i recommend zara 100%!

Sadly I am leaving Zara after being there just over a year but boy I am so impressed that i have to leave a review. This past year has been nothing short of fantastic. I can't hear my neighbors, the apartments are nice and bug/rodent free, the people are all professionals. I mean the people who live here. Yes the management are all professional you’d expect that but the people who live here are quality really top notch friendly people. So there is never any unruly drunks right out of college, you know what I mean? Go somewhere else if that’s what you’re looking for. The apartments themselves are built sturdy and really pretty too. The appliances are brand new and shiny stainless steel and work really well. The floors are all polished and look amazing. The building is beautiful with the hallways and lobby and the outside of the building well taken care of daily. The neighborhood is AMAZING, as others have noted. You are really right by everything. I moved here without researching the neighborhood too much (which is something you should always do guys. Always research the neighborhood! It’s not just the building you live in. IT’s also the neighborhood!) and so because i didn’t research the neighborhood too much, was kind of nervous about that. However, after just one week I realized how much I had lucked out. This is truly the best area in town. Best restaurants I have ever eaten at just 3 blocks away. Library, parks, gyms, grocery stores, hardware stores, 99 cent stores - everything is within walking distance. Plus the subway and buses are right there. The staff is also very helpful and I will miss them dearly. Thank you guys for all that you did for me. Highly recommend to everyone!

Zara is the pinnacle of living in Queens. It's clean, the services are best in class, and the location is superb. You're nestled between all the great restaurants and all the great supermarkets. Plus there’s the subway and buses right outside the buildings. I love it. When I reflect on my time living at Zara, I can't help to think back at the amazingness that I experienced. Zara has been a huge part of my life. Huge shout out to the staff. Over the years, some of them have become my closest friends. In fact, some of them will be at my wedding when I get married. I really do love these people. Thanks Zara. You've made my Queens journey worth living.

This was a great building to live in. I enjoyed my three years here. I just moved out and miss it already. The porters/supers are super helpful and fix whatever issue is going on immediately, which is not the case in most buildings in NYC. The facilities are clean and the front desk staff is nothing short of amazing. I loved the kitchen and the hardwood floors most of all. I will definitely miss the price of rent, very affordable but I had to move for other, personal reasons. I also love that the place stayed bug free even in the summer. The bathroom was beautiful and overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend the building. It’s definitely a good place to live in Queens.

I have lived at Zara for a little over a month now and have very much enjoyed the apartment community. Zara was one of those buildings that you really have to tour in-person to get a complete feel for it. My wife and I checked-out a number of buildings in the Jamaica area, but after touring Zara it was the clear choice for us! In the past, we have lived in a couple of full-service buildings in NYC, but never one quite like this. This place stand out because of the vibrant Jamaica community. Love it. Love all the restaurants and grocery stores. I particularly enjoy seeing all the different shades of people from every ethnicity and religion blend into one and live happily together in this community. Zara building is a microcosm of this phenomenon if you ask me. If you're apartment hunting, I definitely recommend Zara.

This right here is a special shout out to the maintenance staff at Zara. This group of men go out of their way to make sure everything stays up to date and anything you need they are there for you. I absolutely love these guys. We have made a couple service requests recently and they will bend over backwards to work with your schedule and make sure things are finished as soon as possible. They have even seen me struggling with large packages and have gone out of their way to help me with the elevator. They really make living here a beautiful thing. Well done guys! I highly recommend this place because of you! You guys are the real MVPS!!

Hi guys- After four years of living at Zara, I feel compelled to write a review of this fantastic building. I moved to Queens four years ago, and this being my first experience living in an apartment in the city, I can't say that I've ever had a better experience anywhere. And that’s me being real. Before I go on, let me make this clear: THIS IS NOT A PAID REVIEW AND I HAVE IN NO WAY BEEN COMPENSATED TO WRITE THIS!!! First off, the building is GORGEOUS. The interiors are modern, beautifully designed, and always kept impeccable (and it smells great - I want to know who provides the scents used in the lobby. I’ve been asking for years but the super always jokingly says, the “99 cents next door”). Repairs/requests have ALWAYS been addressed promptly. I’ve never experienced that level of quality service, anywhere. Period! I've seen some reviews here used as personal vendettas against the staff. Don't believe them. The staff is stellar. My building representatives are standouts, especially you know who! If you’re reading this, you know who you are!! I'll miss you most of all! You always greet me by name with a big smile, and can always recommend a great restaurant or night spot in the neighborhood to try out. Thank you so much for all your kindness over the years! As for the neighborhood. Well, it is beautiful. Jamaica is a cultural hub and I love it here, no matter what the critics say. I walk to my gym and other places without problem during the day. Everything is close by. Plus with all the buses and trains nearby, you can get anywhere in the area quickly. And finally, the rent. Yes, Zara is more expensive than the studio that you shared with your roommate in college. What did you expect? It's a LUXURY building, with LUXURY features. But with that in mind, the prices are affordable. In my case, very affordable. I'll miss you, Zara. Thanks for an incredible four years! Highly recommend.

We lived at Zara for 4 years and couldn't have been happier with the building, the staff and the services. A big thank you to all the staff that made our experience wonderful. The building is the easily the best-managed building I have ever lived in, hands down! When we moved to NYC, living at Zara made our transition here so much easier. We literally had nothing to worry about. If you do have a concern, someone will take care of it quickly. But yeah now we’re moving after four years and we just wanted to say thank you for everything!

Choosing to live at Zara was one of the best decisions I made and would highly recommend the building to all of my friends. The facilities are new and clean and the staff are all very pleasant and professional. As a member of the service industry, I know how important it is to have a good attitude when dealing with customers and I can tell that these people work really hard and yet keep a smile on their face and a pleasant attitude when dealing with customers any time of day. I really love that about them and is very inspiring to see. In my line of work, I see co-workers deal with customer rudely everyday. If you guys are reading this - keep it up. Very good work. I’ve learned a lot from you observing the way you treat your tenants. Thank you.

We particularly want to thank all the staff, for their attentive service, diligent work, and prompt response to our questions and concerns during the 5 years we stayed. You guys made our stay wonderful. And for this, we will recommend you to everyone! You embody the true customer service that a luxury service apartment stands for. We would highly recommend Zara if you're interested in renting in the Jamaica Queens area. 5 stars all the way!

My experiences have been consistent: fair rents, desirable neighborhoods, well-maintained apt, and a responsive and friendly property manager. They really make my life easier, it's nice to live a home which is walking distance from my work and market, and that needs minimum maintenance on my part.

I have been living here for two years now. Having a beautiful, spacious, affordable apartment to retire to at the end of a long day is tremendously comforting and I look forward to coming home from work (I’m a nurse) every single day. The apartments are beautiful, clean, and stylish with nice fixtures and good-quality appliances. I live in a "studio" but it’s really huge and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else. Trust me - if you saw it you agree with me. It has more than enough space for me and all my belongings. Even the closet space is hugeee. I have a hugeee amount of clothes to accommodate and the closet holds everything comfortably with space left over. Highly recommend.

can afford and finding people who would work with me based on my income and my work situation and too many things. I choose to apply to them because their properties are near to my workplace, so it's very convenient. The cost has got to be half than the other apartments I've rented before. Absolutely it's more space, very well kept, all excellent management. I would say to someone who wants to apply with them, absolutely go and apply, because you'll never find a supportive group in some ways it feels you really have that they are there for you. I am probably close to them for what they are doing which is building a community back-up. Thanks, Zara.

It’s very simple. Anyone who is looking for a place to live in Queens and wants that luxury feel, this is definitely the place for you. I will tell you this: be aware of other places that claim to be "luxury" buildings in the area. Don’t fall for it. My girlfriend lives in one of those so called “luxury” buildings and let’s just say she is not happy. haha..She’ll be moving here with me pretty soon though. In fact, she only realized her building wasn’t truly luxurious once she saw my apartment. …lol…ignorance is bliss i guess. Anyway my apartment is everything I could ever ask for. Really love it here and love the fact that they treat their tenants like royalty.

When I first moved to Queens, I was looking everywhere for apartments, spending about a complete week touring all the apartment buildings I can find. I had almost given up hope when I found this place on google. It was exactly what I was looking for. The prices are really affordable in my view. Especially for the peace of mind and the space that you get. I love that the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet and that everyone minds their own business, unless you reach out to people to try to be friends, then they’ll mind your business. Otherwise, they’ll keep to themselves. That’s a good thing in my eyes. I love that the building and apartments look beautiful and new and smell as clean and fresh as they do. Lots of space and lots of windows which I like. I love that the place is very brightly lit and never have I felt unsafe or anything like that. Plus people look out for each other here, even if you don’t live here. That’s pretty cool to me. I love that the staff is as friendly and as helpful as they are. They have learned the residents by their name and they always greet me when they see me. They really and truly make me feel at home and the maintenance staff too. Those guys are especially polite. I love the proximity to everything. The restaurants are close. The grocery stores are close. The bus stop is right outside the building. The subway is a block away. Can’t ask for better than that. If you’re looking for an apartment in this area, you should definitely at least give it a shot.

It’s easy to bash your landlords. Anyone can do that. But everything has two stories and everything has to be view through the proper perspective. I have been a resident at Zara for about 6 months now and I have nothing short of a great customer experience so far. The guys there are amazing, even the guys who take care of the day to day running of the place - the maintenance guys. Everything is perfect and is run buttery smooth. Every need is taken care of. The send emails and listen to complaints and give ample notice when anything needs to get done. I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

I enjoyed the rental tour. Going on a rental tour is a great way to check the apartment and learn a lot about the neighborhood. This proved to be a valuable thing, especially to someone who is looking for a great place to stay… like me! I did find an apartment to rent and I am truly grateful because of their help.

I found in our more than 2 years dealing with Zara Realty that they are very approachable, helpful, professional and sincere. In other words, they are great to deal with. They would always answer questions or deal with tenancy problems promptly. If we didn’t have to move, I would still be happy to remain as their tenants.

I’ve been living at New Haven Apartments for almost 4 years now. As a matter of fact, I just renewed my lease for another 2 years. I feel at peace living here. No matter what time I come home in the evenings, I do not have to look behind me. As a single person, security was one of my main concerns. This place is soooo secured with cameras all over. The office staff is very friendly and don’t talk about the maintenance crew. Every time I have a problem in the apartment and make a request, they are always on time to fix the problem. They take great pride in what they do. Yesterday (6/16/17) I had a friend visiting me from Florida and as soon as she came off the elevator, the first thing she said was, this place is soooo clean. I also took her in the mailroom and she was amazed to see how clean it was. I would highly recommend New Haven Apartments to all my friends and family. Just loveeee this place!!!!

In my search for an apartment i came over an listing for zara realty and was a bit hesitant to try because of the reviews but decided to give it a shot. I called in and was transferred to an agent who set up a viewing. She listened to my needs and showed me an apartment that i fell in love with the moment i walked it. It was close to the train station which is great for my long commutes to work. The building is clean and i feel safe being that i am single woman living alone. Its been 1 year since i moved in and no complaints yet
