Our Top Forest Hills Moving Tips
Nestled into central Queens, Forest Hills begins at 62nd Avenue to the north and ends at Jackie Robinson Parkway to the south. East to west, it stretches from Grand Central Parkway to a more jagged edge along 102nd Street, Selfridge Street and 67th Avenue. Nearby neighborhoods include Corona, Rego Park, Glendale, Forest Park, Kew Gardens, and Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.
Knowing what’s within and outside of it’s bounds is a start, but there’s a lot more to know about this part of the borough, including:
- Cost of housing and transit. If you’ve left the place you were living and are making your way to Forest Hills, finding a new abode is likely very high on your relocation list. The good news is that there’s a diverse offering of residential spaces, such as prewar and postwar apartments,Tudor-style townhomes, and homes of the single and two family variety. In the cases of purchasing or renting your new home, you’ll find some of the more affordable living spaces in NYC. Those ready to sign on the dotted line for a permanent place, you’ll be looking at a median listing price of about $420k (homes go for millions in nearby Manhattan). Rental prices are on par with some neighborhoods, averaging $3,246 a month for a one-bedroom in the area. It’s a little more expensive than the average rent of $2,780 overall in Queens. While you’ll find similar rents elsewhere in the city, you’re more likely to get a larger layout in your rental in Forest Hills. What else is pretty big in this neck of the urban jungle? The list of public transit options! Forest Hills is accessible by the M, R, E, and F Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) subway trains at the 71st Avenue Station. For the reasonable price of $2.75 per one-way ride, you can say that getting where you want to go is pretty economical in these parts. You can also get to and from the neighborhood by accessing the Long Island Railroad at Continental Avenue and Austin Street (just about as economical, though the cost depends on the final destination of your ride).
- Forest Hills are alive with music, shopping, and entertainment. If you like good music, you won’t have to venture far from your front door to enjoy it. You’re likely to catch your new favorite act at the historic Forest Hills Stadium. It’s seen the likes of The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan grace its stage. The stadium itself is located in The West Side Tennis Club. So whether you are a spectator or a player, you’ll be entertained by this raquetted sport. For those who seek out more sedentary forms of entertainment, look no further than a showing at Cinemart Cinemas. There you’ll find screens screening films of both the popular and art-house variety. Lastly, if you’d rather top off your day with a bit of retail bliss, options abound around the main commercial thoroughfare of Austin Street.
- Forest Hill Flavors. Those who like variety and also have a sweet tooth will be in foodie heaven in Forest Hills. Because we’re adults here, let’s choose dessert first. For a sweet treat that takes you back in time, pull up to the soda fountain bar at Eddie’s Sweet Shop for a Banana Royal or hot fudge sundae. Maybe you’re having your new neighbors coming over for dinner and need something for after your meal. Martha’s Country Bakery has baked goods for all from cookies, cakes, pies, and other pastries on the menu. Or, perhaps you’re on the hunt for a special little chocolate bite. Aigner Chocolate has what you need nearby in truffle, cluster, covered, and candy forms! But, if your taste buds lean more savory, or you just need a taste to balance out the sugary sweet, the flavor doesn’t stop at these confectioners. Grab your crew for Mexican food and margaritas at 5 Burro Cafe. Getting to the Greek cuisine is no sweat with a stop at Oba Mediterranean Gyro & Grill. There’s also a good mix of Asian restaurant offerings with a steaming bowl from Tamashii Ramen, thick pile of noodles from Xin Taste Lan Zhou Hand Pull Noodle, or several orders of dumplings from Memories of Shanghai. Beyond placing a food order, you could also grab a tasty libation from several of the local bars and gastropubs, including Station House.
- Forest green(space). Living in a major metropolitan area doesn’t mean you won’t be able to enjoy some peace and recreation in nature. This Queens neighborhood is home to several spots to find sanctuary. Outdoor recreation also can be found located within a block, such as Yellowstone Municipal Park. It’s a great place to bring Fido for some off-leash time at the dog run and your pals for some above-the-rim time with a pick up game of basketball on the courts there. Along the borders, you’ll find spots to scratch your physical activity itch as well. Just south of Jackie Robinson Parkway resides the 500+ acre Forest Park. There, you’ll find fun for the whole family — playgrounds, a carousel, bbq spots, dog runs, a nature center, hiking trails, and even a golf course and band shell! If you’re keen to be horseback, there’s a stable there. For even more hiking trails, make sure to take time to traverse the Willow Lake Trails at 72nd Road that’ll lead you into nearby Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.
