Few neighborhoods in Queens NY inspire as much interest and curiosity as Malba. A subsection of the elite Whitestone community, Malba is a small, distinctive enclave of large homes located along the shores of Powell Cove. Malba's unusual name is an amalgam of the first initial of the last names of the five wealthy developers who originally developed the area. When they began planning the construction of homes on the land, they intended to fill the neighborhood with high density developments, building small houses on 20-foot wide lots. Instead, the neighborhood was divided into very large lots, and expensive, spacious homes were built by the wealthy families of the time. Today, the real estate and homes for sale in Malba are highly sought after. It's rare for more than a dozen or so homes to be on the market in the community at the same time. The housing stock is made up of proud Colonials, spacious English Tudor inspired homes, updated Italianate mansions, and many custom designed, architecturally unique residences. The one certain statement that can be made about all of the real estate and homes for sale in Malba is that each home is truly special. Malba offers its lucky residents a mixture of two of the best qualities of life to be had in Queens NY: a convenient location and a peaceful and beautiful environment. The neighborhood features scenic waterside walkways with views of the Bronx-Whitestone bridge, which traverses the East River and was once one of the longest bridges in the world. And local residents also simultaneously enjoy an easy, 30-minute car commute to Midtown Manhattan via the nearby Whitestone Expressway.
