Southeast of Astoria, Woodside is a snug Queens neighborhood. 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.”
Woodside
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.
International dining options, plus Home Depot
Woodside is the place for Filipino fare, Burmese cuisine, many Thai restaurants, and other delicious options. Along Roosevelt Avenue, Filipino-owned businesses can be found, including Ihawan, an eatery known for its barbeque chicken and pork, near 70th Street. One block down, Momo Crave dishes up Nepalese dumplings. Himalayan-style dumplings can be found at the tiny Zhego, which offers Bhutanese specialties. Locals convene for drinks at Donovan’s Pub to grab a Guinness or savor a shepherd’s pie. Grocery stores and markets can be found throughout the neighborhood, including at Key Food near Queens Boulevard. Home Depot can be found on Northern Boulevard and Target is also nearby on 82nd Street.
Well-rated schools with extracurricular courses
PS 11 Kathryn Phelan serves pre-K through sixth grade and has an A minus rating from Niche. Middle school IS 010 Horace Greeley has a B plus rating from Niche. William Cullen Bryant High School offers Saturday Academy courses, as well as Saturday English classes for parents and has a B rating from Niche, with an A rating for diversity.
Basketball courts and a pool at Lawrence Virgilio Playground
On Woodside Avenue near 54th Street, the three-acre Lawrence Virgilio Playground connects to Doughboy Plaza. The playground occupies an elevated area near basketball courts and a walking path. During the summer months, locals can use the outdoor pool. Beneath shady trees, Doughboy Plaza offers benches along a stone path facing the historic Woodside Doughboy statue, which commemorates World War I veterans.
Cultural events, including St. Pat’s for All
Each March, the St. Pat’s for All parade celebrates Irish heritage and LGBTQ+ pride with a procession through the streets of Woodside and Sunnyside, with local businesses and elected officials participating in the event. In August, an annual Burmese Food Festival features outdoor food stalls along Woodside Avenue.
The 7, M and R trains, plus LIRR
The 7 train runs through Woodside, along Roosevelt Avenue, and the M and R trains stop along Broadway, giving routes to Midtown Manhattan and Queens. The Long Island Railroad’s Woodside stop offers access to multiple train lines, providing service to Penn Station, Far Rockaway, Great Neck and beyond. Buses also run through the area and stop on Woodside Avenue. LaGuardia Airport is less than four miles away.
Caution along Queens Boulevard
Queens Boulevard has been a notably dangerous road for both pedestrians and drivers, and plans have been in the works to address safety concerns. Construction of new medians, protected bike lines, and a pedestrian plaza is expected to take place and run until 2027.
