Hip hop and Jamaican culture meet in a small urban neighborhood
Hollis is a mural-splashed urban landscape full of music-industry lore – and buzz around a neighborhood restaurant trending on social media. Those murals pay homage to Run-D.M.C., the pioneering rap trio that even has a street named for its members near Hollis Playground. Datz Deli, on the other hand, sells Jamaican beef patties that have gone viral on TikTok. It’s all an interesting claim to fame, since locals will describe Queens as a series of small villages, each with their own flavor. “You can track different varieties of culture, just moving from Kew Gardens on the far west end to Fresh Meadows,” says Michele Cheng, a real estate agent with Keller Williams who’s worked in the area for 20 years. The arc she describes is instructive: Kew Gardens is buffered by swaths of parkland, while Fresh Meadows sprawls just north of Hollis, filled with neat and nearly suburban Cape Cod properties. And so Hollis punctuates this trajectory of Queens, stretching only from 180th Street over to Francis Lewis Boulevard, capped to the north and south by Hillside and Hollis avenues. Contained in this small box is hip-hop culture, Jamaican culture and a dash of busyness from a large rail yard, anchored by Hollis Station.
Greek Revival-style homes close together, but also Victorians and colonials with yards
Having a single-owner home experience while not being fully removed from Manhattan is important to residents here, although it’s true that apartments make up a large percentage of this small neighborhood. With about 18 miles separating Hollis from Midtown, this is a commuter community. “There are a lot of city employees and people with good jobs in the area,” says Ronald Greene, founder of Ronald Greene Realty. A popular home style is a three- or four-bedroom home with colonial and Greek Revival elements – such as a single, sharp gable that accents an otherwise boxy frame. Side lots are practically nonexistent, and out front there may be a small square garden or simply steps leading to the sidewalk. Prices range from $750,000 to $925,000. Along the northern border of Hillside Avenue, larger properties featuring yards or even five-bedroom layouts pop into view. These are priced between $1 million and $1.5 million, and the homes tend to be traditional colonials or Victorians — architectural styles that can accommodate a larger footprint.
Large Victorian homes can be found in Hollis for around $1,000,000.
Colonial revivals with manicured front lawns are located along Hillside Avenue.

Datz Deli is a social media sensation
At the corner of 99th and Hollis avenues is Datz Deli. It’s an unusual location for a restaurant: spearheading a strip mall of salons and eateries, the narrow entrance nearly juts out into passing traffic. But this little establishment has racked up millions of views on social media for its Jamaican beef patties, which are stuffed with macaroni and cheese, then topped with oxtail gravy. West Indian food, Mexican cuisine and even a French bakery line Jamaica Avenue just a couple blocks north. Foodtown of Hollis, placed on Hillside Avenue, is the neighborhood’s big traditional supermarket with meats, produce, dairy and prepared foods.

Hollis Playground is a small retreat near a library
Though it’s primarily an urban landscape, Hollis is dotted by small parks from end to end, primarily focused on sports and active recreation. Hollis Playground sits on the east side, offering colorful playground equipment as well as basketball and handball courts. This acre-sized retreat faces the South Hollis branch of Queens Public Library. Haggerty Park, just four blocks north, has the same amenities, as well as baseball facilities, owing to its larger size. Peters Field on the west side has handball courts, baseball fields and a playground.
Alley Pond Park offers over 600 acres of natural serenity just outside of the city.
The Bellaire Playground is a favorite spot to play for residents.

Hollis station is served by the Long Island Rail Road
Overall, Hollis is a commuter-friendly neighborhood on top of being walkable. Perhaps the biggest transportation boon for Hollis residents, and a standout feature of the neighborhood overall, is the Long Island Rail Road station near Datz Deli. “The convenience of having the Long Island Rail Road is going to be a big draw if it’s in your Queens neighborhood,” says Cheng. Plus, next door to the west is Jamaica Center, one of the most bustling transit hubs in greater New York. Over half a million people pass through there daily. Residents can ride over on the LIRR and pick up the MTA or even the Air Train to John F. Kennedy Airport. Jamaica Avenue is the central thoroughfare, which splits into Hollis Avenue and Farmers Boulevard, which are all important pathways for drivers getting around the neighborhood. For exploring outside the community, drivers will typically take Hillside Avenue on the north end, also known as Route 25. Buses serve all of these corridors as well.
Long Island Rail Road offers commuter rail service to an already commuter-friendly neighborhood.
Hollis locals travel via LIRR to easily go to downtown.
