"great schools for middle income families"

on this street you can find special need schools ranging from early child hood to adolescent. queens general city hospital is right across the streeet from the facility. going the rest of the way south is all residencial and going towards jamaica is not so good but not bad either. the intersecting street /union turnpike is a great strip for college bars and grocery shopping. St johns university is several blocks away so you do see the young crowds.

"nice street for the large park lovers"

this street is quiet hidden and a low volume entrance to forest park. this street is hindered from a runned down auto mechanic business in the corner yet the owner/renter would feel at peace and secure with their environment. school districts get bad to worse though so i do not recomend for children.. the zoning takes to to the other end of glendale/ridgewood that is horrible. the I.S. school is primarily cacausan and doesnt seem to take a liking to minoritys. franklin K lane is the zoned HS and it is primarely african american. this school has the feel as though you were lost in the bad part of BK or bushwick. great for singles and retirees though

"visited friends on this street."

on these apt buildings youre definietly going to find drugs, hustlers and adults trying to hook up with the younger crowd as it happened to me several times. i've seen kids grow up here to become solid ppl but a majority seem to care less about the community and more about themselves. these building arent the worse but keep your kids close and monitor them if you choose to live here

"lived on the street next to this one"

growing up there was a adolescent age gang here that thought they were getting somewhere by staying out late and drinking, stealing and beating ppl up. theyre probably still around as adults. not a good street to raise kids although the PS school 14 is very good. You can do better for this price range. look into streets in elmhurst, its much better and around the same price.

"commerical st that has it all"

This street has so much to offer... nysc, barnes and noble, irish pub, boston market, lucielle roberts. A FAVORITE RESTURANT- marti gras (try the voodoo chicken) theres a police dept on the end, some boutques, and major banks. Try billards as well but you need an id after 9 to get in. great place to spend the afternoon and explore. overall neighborhood is upperclass

"Noisy, young familes and disrespectful people"

i grew up on this street and find the families that use to live here to have low values. growing up i knew of many gang affiliated people as well as hustlers trying to sell or flip items. the street is residencial and has 3 family homes. although it has a descent P.s. school there I.S. school isnt so great and their HS zoning is worse. you can do better at this price range... stay away from penrod

ShannonLGilstad I'd unfortunately have to agree. While living there I saw numerous people slashed and beaten, even one shot.

"lived here. its just ok w/o factoring commerical distance"

there is a park across the bridge that goes over the lie. from this street its a 20 min walk to the commercial areas. this street is fairly quiet and hs a great view of manhattan by the edge of the highway. the neighborhood spirit is unknown as i rarely see ppl hanging out. its a nice quiet place to live overall but theres no parking

"i worked on this street"

This street is technally residencial and theyve recently build town houses around creedmoor psychiatric center. the area is NOT recommended at all for raising a family as the neighborhood has many community places psychiatric patients/out patients. the school district is also horrible. HS kids go to van buren which is a low rated school. Kids twice before coming here if you have kids. its a nightmare. the only plus side to the street is the retail you can find on hillside or jamaica ave intersecting streets

"Quiet And close to it All... A hidden spot for silence and massive retail"

its a 15 minute walk from queens center mall. this street is completely away from high volume of traffic caused by the mall and has quick access to the subway system into manhattan. the ride is appx 45 mins. take out includes pizza hut, hong kong chinese food on elliot ave and mannys colombian food on woodhaven blvd. the only issue we had was a resent arsonist around the summer which was completely out of the norm and can happen anywhere but overall peaceful but pricey.
