Green oasis in Queens
Douglaston is a community filled with trees and spacious lawns on the Queens and Long Island border. “Douglaston is unique because of the amount of land around each home. It’s more rustic than the rest of Queens because of all the trees and foliage,” says Sean Walsh, president of the Douglaston Civic Association and local resident since 1982. “There’s also a very good school district. Some people stay here all their lives.” While primarily residential, the neighborhood is surrounded by Alley Pond Park to the west and dining and shopping to the east. “It’s like you’re living in Queens, but you have a similar environment to Long Island,” says David Tair, an owner and broker at RE/MAX 1st Choice who has been helping people find homes in the area for over 32 years. “But you have lower taxes than in Nassau County.”
There's plenty of shady spots in Douglaston's Alley Pond Park to picinc with friends and family.
Lush trees line many streets in Douglaston creating a homey feeling.

Mix of single-family and multifamily homes
Tudor, Dutch Colonial and Federal-inspired homes make up most of Douglaston, with multifamily options like townhouses and semi-detached condos nearby. “Douglaston is zoned for single-family homes, but there are garden apartments. So, it’s a good mix of both,” Walsh says. A five-bedroom home that’s seen renovations can land in the $1 million to over $3 million range. Some townhouses hit the market for $600,000 to $975,000, while condos surrounding Douglaston Golf Course can sell for $275,000 to $545,000.

Acres of greenery and adventure
Alley Pond Park runs almost the entire length of Douglaston and features 635 acres of green space with hiking trails, a golf course and playground equipment. The Alley Pond Adventure Course’s rope and obstacle course creates a space for team building and seeing the world from a new angle on the zip line. The Alley Pond Environmental Center gives visitors an up-close look at recovering wildlife, and the Green Meadows Petting Farm organizes fun events like their Memorial Day celebration with bouncy houses, hayrides and pony rides. Louis Pasteur Park is a quieter option for those who want a park closer to home. The 1866 Douglaston Manor mansion overlooks the 18-hole Douglaston Golf Course and is a popular place for hosting weddings and grand events. The Queens Public Library at Douglaston/Little Neck keeps a full calendar of community groups and programs, such as the Canasta Club and summer reading activities. The CAP Index gives Douglaston a 1 out of 10 crime score, with 1 being the lowest.

Out of town dining
Food Bazaar and Jmart provide the community with groceries. “There’s Queens Crossing in Queens, but most people here go to Long Island for clothes shopping at Roosevelt Field or Miracle Mile,” Walsh says. Walsh also recommends Marbella, a restaurant that serves traditional Spanish and Italian dishes while a harpist plays live every Friday through Sunday. Il Tascano’s Italian menu brings in hungry customers for lunch and dinner.
Since 1970, Marabella has been the go to place for amazing Spanish style food in nearby Bayside.
Many special occasions are celebrated at Il Toscano in Douglaston.
