Top 5 Neighborhoods in Queens
Home Hunting in Queens Made Easy
It would be a shame to miss the real and unique experiences of Queens, NY. Living in New York is often synonymous with prestige, and most people imagine themselves walking down the busy streets of Manhattan like a boss. That in itself isn't a bad thing, but there is so much more to explore than Central Park and Broadway. For anyone wondering what it's like to live in Queens, New York, here are our top 5 neighborhoods (in no particular order) that are too interesting to miss.
Woodhaven
If you're looking for a cute, middle-class neighborhood with lots of charm and greenery, then Woodhaven is the place for you. Filled with both high and low-density residential areas, in Woodhaven, it's easy to find an apartment or house for rent in this neighborhood. Formerly known as Woodville, this neighborhood is the greenest out of all the areas in Queens. This is partly due to its proximity to the hiking trails of Forest Park, and a great mix of urban and suburban scenery. Woodhaven borders Brooklyn's Cyprus Hills and Queens' Richmond Hills, Ozone Park, Atlantic Avenue, and of course Forest Park. Woodhaven features a very diverse community, and a very affordable lifestyle. Stores, gas stations, utilities, and other household needs are low-cost. Going to Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens' center is effortless with the J train and takes between 5-15 minutes. It's a beautiful neighborhood that's perfect for families and working people looking for peace and quiet.
Astoria
Moving on further to another warm and welcoming community, Astoria has everything you need for a comfortable life. This is also a very diverse area filled with people from all around the world, but the more significant portion being Greeks. You can notice that by just walking around the neighborhood and seeing a plethora of Greek restaurants, shops and bakeries. On top of everything, Astoria has been named one of the top 10 Coolest Neighborhoods by Timeout Magazine, and for an excellent reason. The city life is not prominent there, but it's relatively close by with a train ride. However, the choice of restaurants, beautiful parks, and green areas, cafes, and venues makes this place literal heaven on earth. It is a very safe neighborhood for families, children can play outside freely and there is not much traffic. There's enough space for everyone to park, partly due to a lot of Astorians merely walking, biking around, or taking the train or cab to other destinations.
