In 1925, The Real Good Construction Company started developing Rego Park by building high-rise buildings and setting up new stores. Today, the community thrives alongside an array of restaurants and the Rego Center. Residents can dine out and shop without leaving the neighborhood. When the time comes to head farther from home, though, subway stations and the Long Island Expressway are close by. Small parks create spaces to enjoy the outdoors, but major destinations like Flushing Meadows Corona Park and Forest Park are both less than 3 miles away. Rego Park mixes work and relaxation with its retail scene and housing options.

'Smorgasbord' of dining options
Rego Center is a compact mall with 25 stores, including Costco, Aldi and Marshalls. The mall also has a few restaurants, but most locals dine out at eateries around the neighborhood. "Rego Park is more of a smorgasbord of different types of dining. You can get Indian, Chinese, and a lot of other variations of food," says Angie Boudourakis, a licensed sales associate for Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty with over 20 years of experience. There’s Diner Bar, popular for its classic American fare served for brunch and dinner. Black Sea Fish & Grill offers Mediterranean dishes, while Marani Restaurant whips up kosher Georgian meals like lamb chops and borsch soup. The diverse range of restaurants continues with Grand Sichuan’s Chinese options and the Lime & Salt Restaurant Bar pairs Mexican dishes with its long list of cocktails. “Rego Park's nightlife is really like the city; even at midnight, you can go out," Zakinova says. Farther south in Forest Hills, Austin Street has even more bars and dining destinations. "Austin Street is like a strip of beautiful restaurants, stores, anything local that people can visit and enjoy," Zakinova says. Including Costco, locations like Netcost Market, Key Food Supermarket and Fresh Value Marketplace provide the area with grocery options.

Co-ops from $165,000; pricey peace and quiet in The Crescents
Cooperative living is very popular among Rego Park residents. Olga Zakinova, a licensed associate real estate broker with Douglas Elliman who has lived in Queens since 1993, says first-time homebuyers and downsizers are often drawn to it. “When it comes to a co-op, in many cases, everything is done for you, like building upkeep," she says. A one-bedroom co-op or condo unit can sell for $165,000 to $400,000, while two- or three-bedroom units can go for $400,000 to $800,000. Detached and semi-detached houses, popular in the southernmost point of the neighborhood, range from $750,000 to over $1 million.
Many of the neighborhood's single-family homes are in an area called The Crescents in the southern half of the neighborhood. Homes in this section, made up of five streets in a crescent-like shape, have small front yards and narrow driveways on shady streets lined with sidewalks."The Crescents are nice and quiet and more peaceful than where the cooperatives are. But be prepared because that peace and quiet will cost you. The price point for Crescent homes is in the millions," Zakinova says.

Student journalism at Forest Hills High
Kids living in The Crescents learn at P.S. 139 - Rego Park School for kindergarten through fifth grade. Those in the heart of the neighborhood attend P.S. 174 – William Sidney Mount for pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade classes. Both schools earn A-minus ratings from Niche. The A-rated J.H.S. 157 - Stephen A. Halsey teaches middle schoolers. Students later transition to Forest Hills High School, which also gets an A-minus. The school recently brought back its student-produced newspaper. Parents can also enroll their children in private schools, including the Jewish Institute of Queens and Resurrection Ascension Catholic Academy.

Handball at The Painters Playground
The Painters Playground in The Crescents area is known for being clean, spacious and fun. The park, with its handball court, splash pad and play equipment, neighbors P.S. 174 – William Sidney Mount School. In the north half of the neighborhood, locals hang out at the Horace Harding Playground or the Real Good Playground. Forest Park spans over 500 acres and contains the Forest Park Golf Course, miles of hiking trails through dense trees and Forest Park Carousel Amusement Village. For even more park space to explore, locals can travel 3 miles to Flushing Meadows Corona Park to visit the Queens Zoo, the Unisphere statue or the UTSA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

Night Market and 5Ks at Flushing Meadows Corona Park
Flushing Meadows Corona Park is the site for the weekly 5K run and Night Market, but visitors can also take their time to explore the Queens Zoo and nearly 900 acres of green space. Forest Hills Stadium holds The West Side Tennis Club, the site of the first official U.S. Open Tennis Championship in 1968 before the organization switched the stadium in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Tennis and music lovers often get tickets to see a match or show at Forest Hills Stadium. A few places of worship serve the area, such as the Our Lady of the Angelus Church, which holds services in English and Spanish. Rego Park Jewish Center has been in Rego Park since 1948, and the synagogue building is on the National Register of Historic Places.

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.

Malls are pretty close, commute is very easy as mass transportation is easily accessible. Its very civilized and everything is available here hospitals, schools, parks, gyms, shopping centre, restaurants and bars. The only problem is parking as to find a parking spot is like fighting a war. you will have to park either on the Main Street or couple of blocks down (if you are lucky to find the parking).

The general atmosphere is very calm and suburban, mostly houses with small lawns and backyards. There are people from all age ranges, and people generally are reserved and keep to themselves. There are several shopping streets that are conveniently located, and if I could do it all again, I think I would not mind living here. It is a comfortable and safe community, probably middle class or upper middle class compared to the rest of the country.
