The Royal Blue Brings Luxury Rental Living to Mineola, Long Island
by ELLIMAN INSIDER TEAM
May 2025
An exclusive new residential community on Long Island promises to bring a decidedly elevated approach to apartment living in the town of Mineola.
The Royal Blue, a high-end rental building from local developer Blue Communities, offers 54 condo-style residences, ranging from studio to three-bedroom layouts, and a suite of amenities, including a top-of-the-line fitness center, pet spa, garage parking, and Long Island’s first rooftop pickleball court.
Douglas Elliman agent Julia Krispeal, who represents the property, says the arrival of The Royal Blue is a testament to “the strong demand for high-quality rentals in centrally located, commuter-friendly areas."
“Mineola is no longer just a pass-through town—it’s become a hub,” Krispeal said. “With Long Island Railroad access, proximity to top hospitals and downtown areas, and a growing food and retail scene, it’s an ideal spot for renters who want to stay connected to both city and suburb life.”
Noting that every unit offers the kind of space, layout, and features that renters perennially struggle to find—from large kitchens with islands and full-size appliances to ample storage and natural light—Krispeal points to the amenities as a key differentiator.
“They really help to create the feel of a boutique hotel,” she said, highlighting the infrared sauna, steam room, business center, and golf simulator. “It’s rental living with comfort and luxury built in.”
The project has been especially gratifying for the agent, as it draws on her particular experience with luxury, lifestyle, new development, and Long Island real estate.
“I understand what clients want and how to position a building like this to stand out in a competitive market,” she said. “Being part of this from pre-launch through leasing has allowed me to bring strategy, visibility, and energy to the rollout.”
She also credits Blue Communities for taking a “thoughtful, future-forward approach” to “creating livable spaces with long-term value” rather than adding another “cookie-cutter rental” building to the region.
“This isn’t just another rental building—it’s a new standard for what’s possible on Long Island,” she said. “The Royal Blue is raising the bar for what modern suburban living can look like.”
