Neighborhood/ Community in Queens
Queens Village is as diverse as the city of New York. Most of the residents are immigrants hence it is indeed a true reflection of the diversity of the village. There are several neighborhoods like Astoria, Jamaica estates, Long Island City, Sunnyside, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Bayside, Bellerose, The Rockaways, and Glendale. Most young Manhattan professionals prefer to stay in Astoria because of its affordable rates and closeness to New York City CBD. For instance, the rent charges are between 1000 USD to 2000 USD per month. Condos in the neighborhood go for an estimated amount of between 300,000 USD to 500,000 USD.
