Our top moving tips when moving to Queens
Coming in at 178 square miles, Queens is the biggest borough in NYC. It’s the home of both major airports in the city, LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International. So, if you have to leave, you’ll be able to get where you’re going easily.
If it’s sand and ocean views you’re seeking though, you won’t have to look very far. Queens boasts a number of islands and fantastic beaches, including Jacob Riis Park and Rockaway Beach.
Just like the your neighbors in Queens (2 million of them), you’ll soon find out that there’s even more to brag about when it comes to this part of the city, including:
- All that jazz. This borough has a musical history that’ll have you tapping your feet. The Queens neighborhood of Corona was home to Louis Armstrong, and you can step back into time when visiting his home. It’s now a historical site and archive of his brand of music. Jazz greats, including Count Basie, “Fats” Waller, and Milt Hinter have called Addisleigh Park their home, now a historical landmark district of the St. Albans neighborhood. To further celebrate this borough’s “home of jazz” status in the present day, you can check out the Queens Jazz Trail map and frequent Flushing Town Hall or clubs like Terraza 7 or Jackson Room to enjoy some performances of this musical genre.
- Multicultural & multilingual. Get ready to listen and learn from those speaking from a different tongue. Queens is second to none when it comes to being ethnically diverse and is considered the language capital of the world. You might overhear tones of Turkish, Tagalog, Tajik, Tuscan, Tzotzil and more; it’s home to people who speak over 160 different languages. What’s more: the population of Queens’ Chinatown has surpassed that of Manhattan’s Chinatown. So, you may be in for a special treat in your own part of the city when it comes to Asian markets and dim sum!
- Cost of living. The cost of riding the buses and subways may be the same ($2.75 per ride) and the sales tax is the same for all five boroughs (8.875%), but the difference in affordable housing prices from Manhattan to Queens is pretty different. Rent in Queens is about 30% cheaper on average than Manhattan — and that can make a big difference to your metropolitan budget. The average rent cost of a 1 bedroom in Manhattan may cost around $3,100, whereas in Queens, you’ll pay closer to $2,200. The median cost of those who are paying a mortgage in Queens is around $2,600 per month. Some additional good news here: if you still have Manhattan or the other boroughs on your mind, you can easily visit or even commute to work from Queens as your home base.
- History and the Arts. In addition to the vast cultural diversity and musical history, you won’t tire of what additional delights this borough contains. You can visit the Museum of Modern Art’s PS1 location and celebrate the history of cinema and film in Astoria’s Museum of the Moving Image. If you find yourself in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, you can check out the Unisphere, a globe-shaped structure commissioned for the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. You can also take a tour of the Ganesh Temple of Queens, erected in the 1970s for the growing Hindu population in the borough. There’s a basement canteen with reportedly tasty South Indian Dosas to make the visit extra tasty. If you’ve got reverence for famed escape artists, you can also pay your respects to Harry Houdini’s final resting place in Machpelah Cemetery in Glendale, Queens.
- Play ball! Hey there, sports fans! Living in Queens puts you in the middle of all the action, or should we say sporting arenas. Get ready to root for your home team at Citi Field for the New York Mets. If hoops are more your style, grab your foam finger and cheer on the NBA G-League team, the Long Island Nets. Or, watch a winning goal with the New York Cosmos soccer team. You might also find yourself Falling in Love in Flushing Meadows at the National Tennis Center — home of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships.
