Our Top Kew Gardens Moving Tips
Tucked into the intersection of several major roadways, Kew Gardens is bordered by Jackie Robinson Parkway and Union Turnpike to the north, and Van Wyck Expressway and 131st Street to the east. Its most southern point is at Hillside Avenue and snakes its way along Park Lane, Abingdon Road, and 118th Street in the west. Just beyond the bounds, you’ll find Forest Park, Forest Hills, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Richmond Hill, and Briarwood neighborhoods nearby.
Understanding what separates this area from other parts of Queens is one part of better knowing your new home, but there are some other details to familiarize yourself with, including:
- Cost of housing. You’ll find a glut of abodes for your choosing in this neighborhood. Single-family homes run the gamut of styles including Beaux-Arts and Dutch Colonial Revival. If you’re hoping to make one of them yours, the median listing price in Kew Gardens is $349.5k, which is pretty reasonable (relative to NYC prices). In terms of apartments and co-ops, there are a number of complexes that are medium- and large-sized. You may also get more space for your money per month on average. Speaking of averages, the average rent in Queens overall is about $2,780 a month. However, you’ll be delighted to know that in Kew Gardens, the average rent for a one-bedroom will run you about $1,800 per month.
- Transit options. You’ve got a few options to get into and out of the area on public transportation. The E and F trains from the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) subway station on Queens Boulevard will get you to Manhattan in about 30 minutes or less (depending on whether it’s rush hour or not). Local folks say you can regularly find a seat in the morning if you’re commuting beyond the neighborhood. If you need a quicker trip to Manhattan, you can also take the Long Island Railroad to Penn Station that averages about 17 minutes in duration. If you prefer to commute using your own vehicle, you’ll be on a major roadway in minutes now that you’re so close to Jackie Robinson Parkway, Union Turnpike, Cross Island Parkway, and Van Wyck Expressway. However, if you’re an employee (or frequent flier) of JFK International Airport, getting there will take you only about 10 minutes!
- Green spaces near the garden neighborhood. What would a garden be without some natural amenities to enjoy? In that realm, Kew Gardens doesn’t disappoint. One of the crown jewels of the neighborhood is Forest Park. Among the largest parks in all of NYC, it’s bursting with recreation opportunities, including horseback riding, a track, a golf course, and even the historic Forest Park Carousel (which is designated as a city landmark). Another potentially surprising community outdoor experience can be found at Maple Grove Cemetery. Sprawling out over 65 rolling acres, this green space includes not just burial sites, but a community center, a lake, and even a labyrinth. The Friends of Maple Grove regularly feature and support community gatherings from live performances, art, and other cultural events.
- Kew-ing up something good from day to night. Stroll among the tree-lined streets and you’ll of course find plenty of cozy spots. Lefferts Boulevard is the main shopping area in the neighborhood with a number of shops and places to dine that have that family-owned feel. Among the eateries in the area, you won’t want to miss Dani’s House of Pizza that boasts the sweetest sauce in all of Kew Gardens. For those who like to wash down brunch, lunch, or dinner, with a little frosty libation, Austin’s Ale House will likely fill the bill. If you’re entertaining guests, you may want to pick up a few German and other European delights such as potato salad and strudel to take home with you from Homestead Gourmet Shop. When you’re ready to digest and take a load off, take in a film at the Kew Gardens Cinemas. This neighborhood movie house, built in 1935, screens indie and blockbuster films within an Art Deco style building.
