Queens Village
Neighborhood Reviews
Many colonial homes with private driveways
The majority of homes in Queens Village are colonials, many originally built in the 1920s and ‘30s, though a few Cape Cods can be found. On larger lots, some colonials have been converted into mini-mansions. Most homes have private driveways, and there is street parking as well. A single-family detached colonial can cost between $600,000 and $890,000. Larger brick and stucco homes or renovated colonials can run between $900,000 to $1.4 million. In the northern section of the neighborhood, a few coop buildings can be found along Hillside Avenue. A two-bedroom in a brick coop building might cost between $225,000 and $269,000.

Dining options, plus Key Foods and CTown
Restaurants can be found along Jamaica Avenue, offering a variety of cuisines, including Haitian and Caribbean food. Hibiscus Bar and Restaurant delivers a fusion of West Indian Guyanese and Chinese fare and Spice on a Slice specializes in Indian-style pizza. On Hempstead Avenue, Cookerz Blend serves Jamaican specialties. More dining options, including Stella Ristorante, are located in nearby Floral Park. Groceries can be found at Key Foods on Jamaica Avenue and CTown on Hempstead Avenue, as well as at Foodtown of Hollis in the Franhill Plaza shopping area.

A playground at Wayanda Park, plus Cunningham Park nearby
Near the center of the neighborhood, Wayanda Park offers 2.5 acres of green space, with handball courts, volleyball courts and a playground, which is shared by PS 34 John Harvard elementary school. Nearby, the expansive Cunningham Park, which has hiking and biking trails, bocce and basketball courts, and football and cricket fields, occupies over 350 acres north of Grand Central Parkway.

Concerts and events at nearby UBS Arena
During hockey season, New York Islanders games take place at nearby UBS Arena, which also hosts concerts and live events year-round. In June, Belmont Park typically hosts the Belmont Stakes, the final horse race in the triple crown, however the racecourse is currently undergoing renovations.
/
LIRR and buses, though many people drive
Queens Village tends to be car-dependent. There are no subway stops, however, the Long Island Railroad Queens Village stop connects to Penn Station in Manhattan and Atlantic Terminal in Downtown Brooklyn. Buses also run throughout the area. The Nassau Inter-County Express bus runs between Queens Village and Nassau County. JFK International Airport is less than eight miles away.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
