Toward the northwestern part of Queens, Maspeth is notable for its appealing residential streets which give the area a small-town quality. East of Newtown Creek and south of Sunnyside, the neighborhood’s location offers proximity to Manhattan with a reprieve from the city’s hustle and bustle. “There’s a very suburban feel, but it’s still very close to the city,” says Debi Lucas, a real estate salesperson with the Debi Lucas Team with Compass, who has been selling in the neighborhood for 10 years. Maspeth has an industrial western side, storefronts and businesses along Flushing Avenue, and many two-family homes. “If you’re looking for a quieter residential area, that’s the other environment that it offers,” says Lucas.
Many of Maspeth's streets are lined with trees providing shade for street-parked cars.
There are many businesses along Flushing Avenue in the Maspeth community.

I currently moved to Maspeth and I absolutely love it. The people in these town are very welcoming and very friendly. It is also a very quite place which I love because I used to live in Yonkers and people were very noisy.

Difficult area if you don't drive, no trains close by, buses run well or really bad so not consistently. Nice and quiet especially if you have a family and stuff is close by if you want to walk or if you drive. Nothing is far out of the way, just if you commute for work or school its draining after a while if you need to take multiple trains and buses back and forth day after day back and forth especially if you're waiting for 30 minutes to an hour for a bus then they're packed or you don't fit to get on

Woodside is not your average neighborhood. It has the feel and look of a small town. Yet, the constant noise from the 7 train reminds you that you are not that far away from times square. Over the years, the neighborhood has expanded in a way that accommodates the needs of everyone, regardless or religion or ethnicity. The schools in the neighborhood provide an excellent environment for children to learn. Although the rent is going up in this area, it is great place to raise a family.
