What are the best neighborhoods to live in in Queens, NY?|117109

My brother has to move to NYC from Philadelphia for a job. He_s looking at about two thousand a month for an apartment but isn_t sure which neighborhoods are the best and which ones to stay away from. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Forest Hills is okay, but Bayside is much nicer, cleaner, safer, classier people, etc. However, the commute from Bayside will be longer. Do not believe anything about Astoria - it_s a shithole. Sounds like maybe your brother is a professional with a good salary, well educated, etc. (in order for a company to want to move him).

The only other option is Hoboken, NJ. It_s right across the Hudson River - commute into Midtown Manhattan is about 20 minutes. He would definitely be able to find something for under $2000 per month. It_s super clean and quiet, mostly white, well educated 9 to 5 working types, some affluent people as well.

before i tell you any neighborhoods, i just want to tell you that there are always some good parts of queens/neighborhood and there are also bad, so don_t rely on what one person says.... i also wanted to tell you that he could possably look for apartment openings and come up to nyc to look at the neighborhood before he moves in.. well i just wanted to tell you that astoria is a good place to live in.. i live there.. people call it the__little greece__.. there are some good and bad places, i live in a part of astoria that your brother might not like, simply becuase its not the best.. but there are some very good places that are really quite and not much people.. astoria is near the trains and buses... and like i wrote before, your best bet is for him to come up here because he is the only one thats going to know whats comfortable for him and all the other details... i wish your brother best of luck

forest hills ,douglaston,bayside,woodside, try checking out bell blvd ,lots going on resturants clubs,etc..

Try Rego Park,Queens,NY-11374

I personally lived there for about 3 months.Kind of liked it.
Its well-connected to all trains to Manhattan,and the apartment buildings there are well-secured,with all 24-hour facilities.
Lots of stores and a big shopping mall around the corner.

When you have a higher rent area, bound to be nicer. Queens, Kew Gardens, even, Further east, LINY, really nice. Try Great Neck, close to city.

forest hills.

Forest Hills is a beautiful and safe neighborhood. There are tudor homes and apartments. The train station is walking distance (10 minutes to Manhattan), and some really great restaraunts and shopping (Austin St.). It_s pricey, but worth checking out.

Parts of Astoria are safe and affordable. We had a friend there who was female, lived alone in a 1 br and paid about 1100 for it. Forest Hills is nice, I lived there a year but its a little pricier. Kew Gardens is further out but its good there also and the subway/bus service is good. They have a lot of J4 apartments in larger complexes that are really nice and they won_t cost the whole 2k either.

none the whole city is a shithole frequented by assholes like U !!
