Toward the northwestern part of Queens, Maspeth is notable for its appealing residential streets which give the area a small-town quality. East of Newtown Creek and south of Sunnyside, the neighborhood’s location offers proximity to Manhattan with a reprieve from the city’s hustle and bustle. “There’s a very suburban feel, but it’s still very close to the city,” says Debi Lucas, a real estate salesperson with the Debi Lucas Team with Compass, who has been selling in the neighborhood for 10 years. Maspeth has an industrial western side, storefronts and businesses along Flushing Avenue, and many two-family homes. “If you’re looking for a quieter residential area, that’s the other environment that it offers,” says Lucas.

Many of Maspeth's streets are lined with trees providing shade for street-parked cars.

Maspeth is a welcoming place. Living in Maspeth is beautiful due the environment around being clean as well as the people in Maspeth being so kind. People around here are always willing to help and they are very understanding. Although Maspeth would be so much better if the rent and houses were cheaper but it's worth the cost everything is around the corner or reachable.

As a child, Maspeth was a fun place to live. Children played outside, rode bikes, and let the sun rays hit our skin. Maspeth was a clean and safe place to live. Nowadays, Maspeth is dirtier than I've ever seen it. The many homeless sit along the parks begging for money which if you don't give them they scream and yell at you. The sidewalks have garbage everywhere and so do the streets. People stopped caring about the quality of life in Maspeth, people just stopped caring about everything.
