One of the furthest east neighborhoods in Queens, Queens Village is a relaxed residential enclave near Nassau County. With a Long Island Railroad 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.”

I think that queens village is one of the most diverse and exciting neighborhoods there is in New York. There is so much culture and warmth to be shared with everyone around. Of course if you look at the negative aspect, there will only be negatives. However, I believe the positives definitely outlive the negative and we need to focus on positive energy. Being kind is the best thing you can do for yourself and everyone around you.

Queens Village is a relatively quiet place to live. There's a good amount of schools nearby, and an average amount of all kinds of businesses to frequent to, such as dining, clothing, and other kinds of stores. Alley Pond park is very close by and a great place to have fun outside. The commute to the city, however, is the main problem, with a long, average 1 hour commute time

As an 18 year old female, I feel pretty safe in Queens Village whenever I'm walking by myself to and form the bus stop. There's not much negative things I could say about the overall neighborhood.

The diversity is clear to see in the people, food and music. Most people are friendly and it is very likely that you will know a lot of the same people someone else knows.
