One of the furthest east neighborhoods in Queens, Queens Village is a relaxed residential enclave near Nassau County. With a Long Island Rail Road stop and proximity to the Cross Island Parkway, the area offers accessibility to Manhattan and Long Island and many people drive. “There’s a little more space for you to live, the schools are pretty good, everything’s convenient, and the fact of the matter is anybody can live here,” says Jeffrey Langer, who’s worked in Queens Village for 40 years and is a licensed real estate broker with Weichert Realtors Langer Homes, along with his son Matthew. “Queens is the melting pot of the world. And Queens Village is a big part of that too.”

crime isn't a problem in this area. Usually if a problem arises the people just talk about it and the cops don't get involved, its not always something that needs police involvement
