With about 5,000 rental apartments, mainly in Queens, Zara Realty does more than just rent homes. This family-run business pairs good housing with strong community ties, setting them apart from other NYC landlords.
What You’ll Get:
• Great Location: Minutes from JFK/LaGuardia airports, subways, schools, and shopping
• Fresh Design: Open floor plans and lots of natural light
• Green Space: Walk to Queens’ beautiful parks
What makes Zara different is how much they care about their neighborhoods. Started by folks who came from South America, the team knows what it means to build a new life in New York. They show this through their work – putting in solar panels, keeping buildings up-to-date, and making sure homes stay affordable and well-kept.
Through their giving arm, the Zara Charitable Foundation, they’re helping build better futures. In April 2025, they gave a new computer lab to the Government Technical Institute, adding to their earlier $200 million gift that built the Ken Subraj-Zara Technical Center. They’ve also stepped up for local health care, giving big to Jamaica Hospital Center and pledging $1 million to Northwell Health for medical research and care.
These gifts show how Zara thinks about the bigger picture – good homes matter, but so do schools and health care. They’re not just renting apartments; they’re helping build stronger neighborhoods.
