A Quiet, Community-Centric Enclave

Kew Gardens Hills is a sprawling residential neighborhood situated east of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. Unlike its neighbor Kew Gardens, this area is defined by its lower density, garden apartment complexes, and a very strong, observant Jewish community. It is a place of synagogues, schools, and family life.

Real Estate & Housing Market

The housing stock is practical and stable. You will find miles of two-story garden apartment co-ops, attached brick rowhouses, and detached single-family homes. The "garden" aspect is real—many developments are designed with green courtyards and open sky.

Lifestyle & Community

Life here revolves around faith and family. Main Street is the commercial spine, lined with kosher restaurants, bakeries, and Judaica shops. The pace is slower than in western Queens. It is a walkable community where neighbors see each other at services or the supermarket.

Transportation & Accessibility

While there is no direct subway station in the heart of the neighborhood, it is well-served by buses (Q20, Q44, Q46) that connect quickly to the E/F trains at Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike or the 7 train in Flushing. The proximity to the Van Wyck Expressway makes driving convenient.

Parks, Schools & Amenities

Residents have enviable access to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, one of the city's greatest parks. Queens College is located at the northern edge, bringing a student population and cultural events to the area. The local library is one of the busiest in the system.

Who This Neighborhood Is Best For

Kew Gardens Hills is ideal for those seeking a quiet, religiously active community, families looking for affordable 2-3 bedroom layouts, and Queens College students or staff.
