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.

I have been living here for over 20 years and I love it. The atmosphere is great and I feel safe. The only thing I would change is for some of the potholes to be fixed.

Central...enough, plenty of buses, basically no train. Schools are average-slightly above average. The type of people you'll find here are a mixed bag. The neighborhood has a lot of immigrant groups which makes for a better sense of community.
