Although it can be a very busy street with traffic whizzing by all day and all night, it is also a very middle class neighborhood that is convenient to other parts of Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island. Plus, you can find public transportation available to get you into Manhattan, if necessary. Regardless of what type of home you'd like to live in (single family, duplex or apartment building), you will find many choices on Lefferts Boulevard, since it is peppered with small to medium apartments, attached townhomes, single family homes, and duplexes. Rents are average to above average because it is a good area with lots of amenities. Service stations, restaurants, groceries, lawyer and doctor offices are all along Lefferts Boulevard, especially around the major cross intersections. It's a nice street, although kind of busy at times. You jut get used to it!
