All week long, we've been offering up our best tips for first-time buyers, including nine neighborhoods that might be good places to start a property hunt. Near to the top of our list was Forest Hills, a lush neighborhood in Queens that's known for its houses but also has a large cache of co-ops with starter apartments for the taking. (Forest Hills had 64 studios and one-bedrooms under $400,000, tied only with Riverdale for the top spot.) This weekend, you'll find plenty of both apartments and single-families hosting open houses—here's a sampling:

66-34 108th Street, Apartment 3G. Sitting well below the upper-end cutoff (under $400,000) for our best-neighborhoods-for-first-time-buyers measure, this 725-square-foot one-bedroom, one-bath is in a pet-friendly building. Asking price: $243,000. Open house: Sunday, April 9, 1 pm to 4 pm.
