"Overcrowded and diverse"
East Flushing is a small and diverse community where residents can enjoy convenient public transportation links, diverse housing options, one of the best hospitals in Queens, access to the area's two major airports, and proximity to Queens College. The population is pretty diverse, with a good mix of Caucasians, Hispanics, Asians, Indians, and African Americans. The majority of the residents are Greek, Asian, and Hispanic. The school district is fairly good, and the town boasts an excellent public library with collections in several different languages, such as Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and Greek. While there are more seedy bars than restaurants, there are more options in neighboring Flushing. While it isn't the most dangerous area in New York, safety is still a concern - particularly with the large number of dive bars in the area. Still, this is a very residential area and it certainly isn't what one might expect of New York City, but it offers a fairly cheap option for people who want to live in Queens. The downside is that it can get boring and that this is hardly a very pretty area.
Pros
- Cheaper than Flushing
- Good library
- Diverse
Cons
- Overcrowded
- Not many good restaurants
- Too many bars

"Congested with lots of bars"
East Flushing is a different kind of area than its neighbor, Flushing, in Queens. East Flushing at first glance is much more congested and populated. There is a high density of bars in East Flushing, which makes me more concerned for the residents. Lots of locals frequent the bars on more than just the weekends. The pub-bars can get very busy with residents filling them up after work hours Monday-Friday.
The area is highly residential and most people who live in East Flushing work outside of the neighborhood. There are not a large number of restaurants in the neighborhood, but a few pizza joints are popular among locals. Daro’s is a place of choice for many.
Most people travel to nearby Flushing for shopping and schools, as choices are limited in East Flushing.

"Self -Sufficient Communtiy"
This is a highly populated area in Queens, at least when compared to the neighboring Flushing. This neighborhood is populated with pub-type bars, but these aren’t anything that anyone would travel out of their way to go to. This is mainly a residential neighborhood – for commuters, seeing as there isn’t much in the way of employment way out here. It’s one of those rare neighborhoods, though, where stand-alone houses can be found (as opposed to rowhouses and high rises). If for some reason you find yourself way out here, local favorite restaurants include Daro’s Pizza, Sheehan’s, and East Manor.
