I moved into Whitestone almost two years ago from South Flushing. As of now, it has been a really nice experience living in Whitestone. There isn’t a constant worry of having your tires stolen or not having a parking space on the way home. The MTA buses, the Q15 and Q16, can be very unpredictable on weekends but are very reliable early in the morning. The zone middle schools in this area are much better than IS237 in Flushing. As of now, there isn’t much that I can complain about living here, except that sometimes there aren’t buses going from East to West, but I guess that is sort of expected with almost everyone owning a car in this neighborhood.
I've lived in Whitestone for about 11 years now and life has been great. The neighbors are very chill and sweet. For example during New Years, one of our neighbors would launch huge amounts of fireworks and everyone would come out of their house to come and watch. Its quite quiet at some times and thats nice.
I used to love living in Whitestone as a kid, but as the times changed so did the neighborhood. I find that I do not know the neighbors like I used to and that it doesn't seem as safe to be out alone anymore. The blocks are congested and parking is a nightmare now because of all of the new multi-family houses that are popping up all over the place. I miss the way Whitestone used to be.
