Kew Gardens is one of my favorite neighborhoods in New York. It's located in Queens, between Jamaica and Forest Hills. Kew Gardens is a neighborhood with what one could call a "European Charm" to it. Here you will find single family homes as well as large apartment buildings, and many shops and restaurants. The rents here are moderate for the New York City area, and the neighborhood is home to a Long Island Railroad stop as well as access via the F and E trains from Manhattan.
The main shopping areas in Kew Gardens are Lefferts Boulevard, Metropolitan Avenue, and Queens Boulevard. Austin Street, which runs east-west into Forest Hills, is another nearby shopping area, which is home to many well known stores (Barnes & Noble, Gap, Loft, etc.) as well as some lesser known stores and health food shops. The LIRR stop in Kew Gardens is close to Lefferts Boulevard.
Kew Gardens, like Forest Hills, is a very green neighborhood. During the summer months, the streets are shadowed with magnificent trees above. One of New York City's largest parks, Forest Park, is located partially in Kew Gardens. This park boasts many hiking trails as well as a picnic area, small pond, a golf course, sports areas, a track, handball courts, an amphitheater and carousel (currently closed). Forest Park is a gorgeous park with pretty much something for everyone. There are a couple of stables that rent out horses here. For more information on Forest Park, see this link: Forest Park.
If you are looking for a high quality of life, you can not go wrong by choosing Kew Gardens.
A one bedroom apartment can be found in Kew Gardens for around $1,300. A studio for around $900-1,100. Two bedrooms can be found closer to $1,500, and three bedrooms are listed around $1,750. Of course, these prices may vary and often fluctuate. The best times to move are during the winter months, when college students from nearby St. John's University are not looking for apartments. However, even if you are thinking of moving during the summer months, finding an apartment in this neighborhood is not too hard. There are many options, with some apartment buildings located adjacent to Forest Park. Kew Gardens is close to the only Trader Joe's in Queens, and is a short subway ride from Target, Costco, and Rego Center. Grocery stores and restaurants here are plentiful.
