North Queens Edition

Northern Queens: Home of Queens College, the Queens Botanical Garden and Flushing Meadow Park, Northern Queens includes established, historic villages on Flushing Bay, as well as inland residential communities such as the Utopia district of the town of Flushing. Whitestone and College Point offer waterview and waterfront homes, marinas, parks and shopping areas with New England charm. Victorian mansions, well-kept private homes, condominiums and luxury hi-rise apartments keep real estate values high.

Downtown Flushing is a modern ethnic enclave featuring exciting Korean and Indian restaurants and colorful bazaar-style arcades. The area also claims the Freedom Mile, a series of landmark historic buildings: Quaker Meeting House, Bowne House, Kingsland Mansion and Flushing Town Hall, all of which present dramatic public programs. Motor parkways and the Whitestone and Throgsneck Bridges connect Northern Queens with upstate New York, and subways and buses connect with other Boroughs of New York City.
