Elmhurst, previously called Newtown in the late 1800s, is in the heart of Queens. “You get that city vibe, the hustle and bustle of traffic and restaurants, but you still get tranquility with trees, birds and squirrels,” says Anthony Tamboni, a licensed real estate broker with Weichert Realtors TMT Group who has over 25 years of experience. “It’s a great mix of both worlds, where other areas in Queens just have birds and trees. And you’re not in Manhattan, which is great.” Locals have endless restaurant options to try with cuisines from a range of cultures. The largest mall in Queens sits on the eastern edge, and nearby trains and subway stations make it easy to commute into Manhattan.
Many houses in Elmhurst have large driveways to fit two cars.
Sweet Yummy House is one of the most popular Sichuan restaurants in New York City.

Parades and Little Thailand
The neighborhood has plenty of holidays to celebrate. Northern Boulevard and 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights shut down multiple times throughout the year for parades. July has the Festival De Las Flores Parade, Colombian Day Parade and International Peruvian Parade. The Bolivian Day Parade and Halloween Parade happen in October.
Shopping and dining in Elmhurst
Queens Place has big box stores like Target and Best Buy. Queens Center Mall is the largest shopping mall in Queens, with four stories filled with stores and kiosks. Residents don’t have to visit the busy mall to find popular eateries. Places like the Georgia Diner see crowds for classic American dishes to Greek specialties. Patacon Pisao, a Venezuelan sandwich shop, began as a food truck in Manhattan and now has a popular shop in Elmhurst. Spicy Shallot is just one of the many busy Thai restaurants in the Little Thailand area. SkyFoods offers traditionally Asian ingredients, while Bravo Supermarkets has everyday items.

Condos from $200,000
“There’s really a mix of everything,” Tamboni says. “Lots of co-ops, lots of single-family houses. You have fully detached houses, semi-detached and row houses. The market for renters is really hot, and so are single-family houses. The market has been pretty lively for the past six or seven years.” A detached single-family home can cost anywhere from $1 million to almost $2 million. Row houses go for $950,000 to $1.5 million. Studio and one-bedroom co-ops and condos go for $200,000 to $400,000. Two-bedroom units can cost $400,000 to $750,000, depending on the building's amenities and location. A penthouse unit can sell for over $1 million. Roads near Queens Boulevard and 51st Avenue may flood during heavy rain.

Commuting from Elmhurst
Traversing around and out of Elmhurst is made possible by the nearby subway stations, MTA bus stops, highways and paved sidewalks. “Elmhurst is very close to highways and very close to the subway. And Queens Center Mall is literally steps away,” Tamboni says. The Grand Ave-Newtown and Woodhaven Boulevard subway stations connect to E, F, M and R trains, and they serve the southern half of the town. Four stations along Roosevelt Avenue connect to the 7 train line and serve the north half. MTA bus stops line major roadways, including Queens Boulevard, Grand Avenue and Broadway. Residents often hear planes overhead since LaGuardia airport is only 5 miles north of the neighborhood. NYC Health + Hospitals Elmhurst is also close by, making it easy to drive over for a doctor’s appointment.
A Queens borough neighborhood, multiple subway lines and buses run through Elmhurst.
Woodside locals rely on the Jackson-Roosevelt train station for getting around.

Health sciences at the International High School
Elmhurst is served by the New York City Geographic District No. 24, giving parents and students multiple schools to choose from. The B-rated P.S. 7- Louis F. Simeone School is close by and offers pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade classes. P.S. 102 – Bayview, in the south half of town, has the same courses but receives a B-minus from Niche. Both schools feed into Newtown High School, which gets a B-minus. The International High School for Health Sciences teaches kids who have immigrated from all over the world. The school aims to help students learn English and introduce them to specialized study areas such as medicine, nursing and health care. Private schools also sit in the neighborhood, including St. Bartholomew School and Saint Adalbert Catholic Academy.
P.S. 7 Louis F Simeone in Queens, New York boasts strong academics and personal development.
Newtown High School became a New York City Landmark in 2003 due to its architecture.

Elmhurst Park's playground and war memorial

The 6-acre space now has a playground and the Queens Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Frank D. O'Connor Playground and the Moore Homestead Playground have room to run around and jungle gym equipment.
