I have everything in my neighborhood. With three malls, many supermarkets, restaurants and a park, I never have to go out of my neighborhood in need of something. I feel very safe to go out and in my 17 years of living, never heard of any occurrence of a crime. I’m near every mode of transportation, so whenever I want to go to Manhattan, it’s only 30 minutes away by train. The greenery is so beautiful here, there’s flowers and trees everywhere. There is a slight problem with homeless people living under the bridge and making a mess, but besides that, I don’t plan on moving.
Rego Park is a very diverse, safe and clean place. Many stores and transportation is near here, making it easier to get to places or just cure your boredom. The people are nice and are from many different places, which made me help understand culture better. However, it is a very old place, meaning that the apartments/ houses would be rusty and out - dated. Not many job opportunities too. Besides that, it is an 11/ 10 place to live.
I enjoy Rego Park's proximity to old Forest Hills, which features architecture dating back to the 1920s. The racial, ethnic and religious diversity of the area provides a great cultural and culinary experience!
