Is Queens safe? Yes! Queens, NY is a beautiful place to live, visit and work! It is a safe and wonderful mixture of cultures and foods. Queens, a borough of New York City, has more languages than any place in the world. It is a destination for tourists and immigrants from around the world. Even New Yorkers love to explore all the exciting food and attractions there. Here are five of Stride Movers’ favorite Queens neighborhoods.
Forest Hills
Median sale price: $329,000
Median rental price: $2,100/month
Forest Hills is a family-friendly neighborhood that might make you forget you’re in a city at all. Residences here range from apartment spacious apartment complexes to gigantic(!) Tudor-style single-family houses. The neighborhood feels alive with children and places to enjoy the outdoors. However, if you’re looking for hustle and bustle, Forest Hills may be too sleepy for you. For families, and people who want a quiet, spacious lifestyle, Forest Hills is certainly one of the safest neighborhoods in Queens.
Jackson Heights
Median sale price: $315,000
Median rental price: $1,800 / month
Long Island City (LIC)
Sunnyside
Median sale price: $761,000
Median rental price: $3,248 / month
Okay, it’s pricey – but there’s something about Sunnyside that is so glorious. Close to Manhattan? Check. Residential feel but urban enough? Check. Delicious restaurants from all over the world? Check! The reasonable rents used to be a draw, but now it seems to one of the priciest areas in the borough. However, if you can afford a little slice of Sunnyside, we strongly suggest you go for it! Or, if you are a tourist, you can come to Sunnyside and see a sweet area of the city where mostly locals go.
Astoria
Median sale price: $475,000
Median rental price: $2,167 / month
Known for it’s delicious Greek food, Astoria has certainly seen a renaissance in the past few years. Think affordable apartments, spacious streets, and quick commutes to Manhattan. Aside from Greek food, Astoria has a mix of every type of food you could want. Move to Astoria if you want a new pulse on an old-world vibe.
