Southeast of Astoria, Woodside is a snug Queens neighborhood known for its rich cultural texture. Historically Irish and Italian settlers found the area, followed by immigrants from Asia and South America, and their influences are evident in Woodside’s broad dining scene. The neighborhood appeals with its mix of low-rise coop buildings and brick multifamily homes and its proximity to Manhattan. “Woodside buts up against Sunnyside and also Jackson Heights, and it’s a good community to commute from,” says Janine McQueeney, a Queens native and licensed real estate salesperson with Douglas Elliman. “The 7 line runs right through it.”

Coops, contemporary condos, and brick family houses
Woodside’s quiet residential blocks with tree-lined streets give it a removed neighborhood feel, only a few stops from Manhattan. “You’re close to New York City, and there are a lot of coops and multi-families,” says McQueeney. Detached or semi-detached brick family homes cost between $1 million and $2.5 million. Coop buildings can be found, with proximity to the 7 train, and a two-bedroom will run between $399,000 and $538,000. The neighborhood has a few contemporary condo developments, including the seven-story Arcadia Woodside and the nine-story Queens Garden. A one-bedroom condo costs between $496,0000 to $842,000.

I love living in this neighborhood, it may improve if I get a car! Rent is cheaper here, lots of locals and people born and raised here - the only minus is that Woodside is far from everything and the food options aren't that stellar, but I can cook!
