Homes in Kew Gardens (11415)
Kew Gardens mixes detached Tudor and Arts-and-Crafts houses with prewar co-op and condo buildings around Lefferts Boulevard and Kew Gardens Road. Large older homes need higher dwelling limits and careful valuation, while apartment owners need an HO-6 policy that lines up with their building’s master policy.
What a Kew Gardens homeowners policy covers
A standard homeowners policy (HO-3) bundles several coverages into one. We walk you through each limit before you buy.
Dwelling
The structure of your home, including roof, walls, floors and built-in systems, against fire, wind, hail, theft and other covered causes.
Other structures
Detached garages, sheds and fences, usually up to 10% of your dwelling limit.
Personal property
Furniture, clothing, electronics and other belongings, at home or away.
Loss of use
Hotel, rent and extra living costs if your home can’t be lived in after a covered loss.
Personal liability
Legal and medical costs if someone is hurt on your property or you accidentally damage someone else’s property.
Medical payments
Small medical bills for guests injured at your home, regardless of fault.
Coverage to think about in Kew Gardens
Accurate valuation
Slate roofs, leaded glass and custom woodwork cost more to rebuild. We set dwelling coverage by rebuild cost, not tax value.
HO-6 for co-ops
Covers your improvements from the walls in, your belongings and your personal liability.
Loss assessment
If your building’s insurance falls short after a loss, the co-op can bill each owner. Loss assessment coverage helps pay that bill.
Leaks from above
Water from an upstairs unit is one of the most common apartment claims.
Broker tip: Co-op owners: ask your managing agent for the building’s master-policy summary. It tells us exactly what your HO-6 needs to cover.

Homeowners insurance questions from Kew Gardens
What does an HO-6 policy cover in a Kew Gardens co-op?
Your unit’s interior improvements (kitchen, floors, bathrooms), your belongings, extra living costs if you can’t stay in the unit, and personal liability. The building’s master policy covers the structure and common areas.
My co-op board requires insurance. How much do I need?
Boards usually set a minimum liability limit and sometimes require coverage for improvements. Send us the board’s requirement letter and we’ll match it.
How do you value a large older house?
We estimate replacement cost from the size, construction and features of the home, not its sale price or assessed value, so the policy can actually rebuild it.
What is loss assessment coverage?
If your building has a loss bigger than its insurance pays, the co-op may bill owners for their share. Loss assessment coverage on your HO-6 helps pay it.
How much is homeowners insurance in Kew Gardens?
It depends on the age and construction of the house, rebuild cost, number of families, the age of the roof and systems, claims history, flood and coastal exposure, and the deductible you choose. Because we compare several carriers, we can usually show you more than one price for the same coverage. Call (347) 817-7771 or use our home insurance form for an exact quote.
What’s the difference between an HO-3 and an HO-5 policy?
Both cover your house against all causes of loss except those the policy excludes. An HO-5 also covers your belongings that broadly, usually at replacement cost, so it’s wider coverage and costs more. Not every carrier offers HO-5 on every home.
Does homeowners insurance cover flooding?
No. Flood from surface water is excluded from standard homeowners policies. It’s a separate policy through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private flood carrier, and we can quote it alongside your home.
