Flushing Neighborhood

Flushing is in a north-central Queens. The historic neighborhood core is the largest urban center in the borough. Flushing is all of central Queens from Maspeth to Whitestone. But the neighborhood of Flushing is really between Flushing Meadows Park and Utopia Parkway (Auburndale). To the north the Whitestone Expressway and Bayside Avenue separate it from College Point and Whitestone. The LIE is the southern border (Kew Gardens Hills). East of Main Street is the more suburban enclaves of Murray Hill and Flushing-Broadway (north of Northern Blvd). Flushing is a 30-minute plus commute on the #7 subway to midtown Manhattan from the Main Street terminus. The LIRR also runs from Main Street to midtown—17 minutes. Flushing's Chinatown has grown to be the largest, wealthiest Chinatown in New York City. It's also a Korean center, and home to Indians, Italians, Afghans, Pakistanis, and many others. We can see many shop signs in English, Chinese, and Korean on a typical downtown Flushing street. Flushing real estate prices have climbed high since the late 1990s.

As my house location is the most convenient place near to Flushing Main Street. The real estates average price is $500k+ for the 1 family house, and two family houses are $700k+, it means many people like here, and it is a good opportunity to raise the economy distribution in my neighborhood. As my research, my neighborhood has different ethnical groups, such as White, Korean, Chinese, and Hispanic, etc. it is a neighborhood surround with the diversity. In Flushing, if you want to buy the Asian food, it is absolutely a good place to explore the traditional cuisine in here. Flushing is a generally safe neighborhood. The most recently problem and development project for Flushing is traffic, congestion, and overdevelopment for community to concern. Pollution cleanup and development of the Flushing River and Willets Point Iron Triangle are continually advanced. Flushing has many lovely parks, such as the Kissena Park, Flushing Meadow-Corona Park and Bowne Park. Also, the Queens Botanical Garden fulfills the goal of providing beautiful public gardens to the people of Queens and offering horticultural information and education to amateur gardeners.

So, welcome to Flushing, have fun in here!
