Queens is beautiful with a diverse society. There is ease of access to transportation, shopping, and healthcare! There are many museums, libraries and fun things to do as a single person, couple, group of friends or family. Safety is usually paramount any place and New York is relatively a safe place. There are many people living here, so there are always activities happening.
Queens is an extremely diverse neighborhood, a fact on which we pride ourselves upon. Queens is a huge borough and thus certain parts of it are better than others. For example, Forest Hills is a really nice town within Queens but the houses can be very pricey. Parts of Jamaica, however, aren't as nice. It all depends on where you are! In general, I have grown up in Queens and have had a very good experience going to school here and meeting kind people.
I’ve lived in Queens, NY all my life and I love it! It really makes life easier - trains and bus stops are almost everywhere, as well as delis/convenient stores on almost every other block! Queens is not fast or slow, but just the right amount. I will continue to live here for as long as I can!
