Murray Hill

Murray Hill is next to Flushing. You will find a mixture of Irish and Italian immigrants. You will also find a bunch of Korean and Salvadoran immigrants have moved here recently. With such an influx of cultures, it also makes for a very unsafe neighborhood. The Salvadorans bring their guns and drugs to the area. The Koreans and Irish have formed gangs to see who has greater control of the area.

It is one area I would not consider living at nor would I suggest anyone to move here.

I went there a few months ago, and was scared when I saw a few bad apples hanging at the corner. I took off and never went back.

This neighborhood is in the greater neighborhood of Flushing, Queens – one of the larger neighborhoods in the borough. This neighborhood within a neighborhood is a residential spot where Irish and Italian immigrants have moved in, and where Korean and Salvadoran immigrants are now relocating – making it an interestingly diverse place. However, it is not exactly a safe neighborhood, as there is a huge problem with gang violence there. If you somehow can get around this fact, or perhaps you never leave your home past 6 pm anyway, then you will find plenty of high rise apartment buildings to house your belongings.

Murray Hill is a neighborhood in Queens that is surrounded by Flushing, Auburnadale, and Clearview. Murray Hill is a part of Flushing, beyond the end of the number 7 subway line, where mid-rise brick buildings apartment buildings give way to close-set homes, and a crowded urban feel becomes a calmer and quieter suburban one.

Murray Hill has remained a slow and sleepy area even today. Once home to Irish and Italian immigrants, now an increasingly Korean enclave exists. The immigrants moving into the area have brought with them commercial vitality. However, the area does suffer from illegally crowded houses, as with other areas in Queens.

Murray Hill is about a mile east of a main commercial hub, Main Street in Flushing, with easy bus access. There is also the Long Island Rail Road, whose Murray Hill Station is little more than a forlorn plaza with a pay phone and a bus stop. No parking is available for commuters except on the street. Transportation is very good and you could live in the area and never have to drive anywhere.

Murray Hill Plaza, a small shopping hub with a big parking lot, sits on Northern Boulevard near 155th Street. Northern Boulevard itself, a busy artery, holds a mix of Korean restaurants, carwashes and bridal boutiques. There is also Seoul Plaza, a high-end mini shopping mall with valet parking.
