Really nice, young, up-and-coming part of New York City! The area is undergoing a lot of new developments, particularly on the water. Most residents are young professionals or families and the neighborhood is quite safe. Hunters Point park has a beautiful view of the New York skyline and usually has events in the summer. You can get just about any type of cuisine you'd like on Vernon Boulevard, and the neighborhood is one subway stop away from Manhattan. Only downside is that gyms are expensive in the area.
Great neighborhood for young families and prospective families. Excellent parks, good transit access, many housing options.
Great accessibility to transportation throughout the city: trains to Manhattan and Brooklyn, short distance from highways and bridges to the Bronx and Long Island. Lots of housing options. Knocked off one star for the lack of things to do such as restaurants and bars. They exist but the neighborhood doesn't feel like one where you'd casually hang out in. It very much feels like a residential extension of Midtown Manhattan.
