Queens community near the Long Island Expressway
Pomonok is named for the Algonquin Indian word used to describe the region. Today, this 2-square-mile neighborhood sits just south of the Long Island Expressway, sandwiched between two more affluent neighborhoods, Queensboro Hill and Kew Gardens Hills. But proximity means Pomonok residents may enjoy some of the amenities of these two neighborhoods while also enjoying the relatively lower prices of Pomonok. Chatter Singh, a local licensed real estate salesperson with Keller Williams Liberty says, “Each neighborhood in Queens impacts the next.”
Homeowners and renters in Pomonok are benefiting from the prime location.

It’s changed a lot in regards to development.” High-rise condominiums built within the last decade are offering two-bedroom, two-bath units for just over $600,000 with very low homeowners association fees. Plain postwar townhomes with four bedrooms can be found for under $1 million. There are also humble Cape Cods with cheerily painted siding on small lots. A two-bedroom was recently listed for $840,000. There is some lovely prewar architecture here.

Ten blocks from the subway
Bus is the most convenient form of public transportation here as the nearest subway lines are the 7 train in Flushing to the north or the E/F line in Jamaica to the south, both of which are at least a 10-block walk for Pomonok residents. Many people drive as street parking is easy and detached homes usually have driveways. The Long Island Expressway leads anywhere in the five boroughs or straight to the beaches of Long Island. Despite its lack of a subway, Pomonok is a hidden treasure in this fast-growing section of Queens.
