Queens Overview

The eastern tier borough of New York City, Queens represents some of the Big Apple's finest living. Offering easy access not only to Brooklyn but also much of Long Island, apartments in Queens are an ideal place to get a true feel for one of the world's most amazing big city destinations.

What is the history of Queens?

Like much of New York City, Queens is steeped in history, becoming an official borough in 1897. With the establishment of the Long Island Railroad in 1908 and the completion of the Queensboro Bridge one year later, Queens experienced a flood of growth and new residents, with the city previously only available via the ferry or smaller, distant bridges. The population of Queens roughly doubled in the 1920's, thanks in part to the expansion of the legendary NYC subway system as well as the construction of the Steinway Tunnel. Queens acted as home to the New York World's Fair a number of times through the 1960's, and industrial plants continue to act as a draw for business to this day.

How is the weather in Queens?

Just a stone's throw from the Atlantic Ocean, Queens experiences a subtropic climate that yields plenty of rainfall and occasionally humid summers. Heavy snow is uncommon but not unheard of, especially compared to the rest of New York State, while the mild and brisk spring and fall tend to be the most comfortable and thus popular seasons.

How do I get around town?

Those living in Queens apartments will have no shortage of transportation options. The borough is home to two of the world's busiest airports JFK and La Guardia, and the NY Subway system connects to over eighty (!) lines to and from Queens. The Long Island Railroad also offers service into Manhattan and beyond, making it one of the busiest hubs in the nation. Taxis and walking are of course always popular options for those residing in apartments in Queens, although the bus system is expansive as well.

What is the Queens commute like?

While a majority of residents rely on public transportation to get around, Queens also has its fair share of car owners. A trio of primary highways including the Long Island Expressway traverse the city, and traffic can be exceptionally high during peak rush hours or in the seemingly-endless construction zones. The Belt Parkway extends into Queens as well, although the numerous tolls in and out of the city again make public transportation seem that much more appealing.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Queens Courier' remains one of the most popular weekly print publications in the city, and 'The Tribune' highlights nightlife and arts events. An abundance of radio formats take to the Queens airwaves, from hip-hop to classic rock, talk radio to sports. Queens Public Television offers a truly diverse assortment of programming, including regional news and locally-produced entertainment variety shows.

Why live in Queens, NY?

New York City remains one of the top locations in the entire world with good cause - the nightlife, the restaurants, the opportunities are all second-to-none. Queens offers a lifestyle that screams New York while still maintaining a communal neighborhood appeal that can sometimes in get lost in the bright lights of Manhattan or Brooklyn. Apartments in Queens also tend to be more affordable that some of the other boroughs, making it an attractive option for students, families and young working professionals.

What Queens landmarks should I see?

Queens is brimming with exciting hot spots, from historic districts such as Fort Totten and Hunters Point to individual structures such as The Louis Armstrong House and the Astoria Pool. The Cornell Graveyard is a place of quiet reflection, while the architectural marvel of the Poppenhusen House must be seen to be believed. Art fans take note - Queens is home to a wide-reaching assortment of galleries and museums, including the Museums of the Moving Image, Sculpture Center and the Nogushi Museum. The Hindu Temple Society is also a fascinating peek into a peaceful world.

What is there to do around Queens?

Queens has always been an important nucleus for jazz, and a large number of clubs catering to the genre continue to this day. The Black Spectrum Theater plays host to a wide range of performers, with hip-hop legends such as Nas and Run-DMC cutting their teeth on Queens' stages. The New York Hall of Science is a fantastic way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon with the kids, or take in a ballgame and a few hotdogs with the Mets. Foodies will find much to celebrate in the area's abundance of exotic eateries, ranging from traditional Greek fare to that ultimate New York staple - the corner sandwich deli.

Any annual festivals or Queens events to know?

Queens has become a hot spot throughout NY for festivals, with the Queens Film Festival gradually rising to prominence in the world of cinema. The New York Comedy Festival stretches the laughs into the borough, and a large number of neighborhood street fairs can be seen in action almost every month of the summer. Live music, parades and authentic NYC cuisine can be seen in full effect at these events, as well as plenty of that notorious New York pride.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

For those Queens apartment residents looking to get away while still staying close to home, NYC has a multitude of options at your fingertips. Take a train into Manhattan for a Broadway show under the lights of 42nd Street, or take the Ramones' advice and hit the water of Rockaway Beach for an afternoon of fun in the sun. Upstate New York remains a popular weekend excursion option, with the beautiful peaks of New Paltz a hotspot for rock climbing. Visit historic Hyde Park for a picnic at one of the area's many bed and breakfast lodges, or spend a few days strolling Harvard and the museums of Boston.

Where is the best place to move in Queens?

Queens is known for having a large number of distinct neighborhoods, with Flushing being the largest and most popular. Astoria is an ideal spot for professionals yearning to have easy access to the job market of Manhattan, while Corona Heights is a popular draw among growing families. Regardless of where you end up, one thing is for certain - Queens living is truly remarkable!
