City - Forest Hills

Forest Hills blends the urban and the suburban in the heart of Queens, from the gritty charm of bustling Austin Street to the tranquil beauty of residential Forest Hills Gardens. Forest Hills affords many residents quick commutes to Midtown Manhattan via the F train and the Long Island Rail Road in addition to scenic views along the tree-lined streets that comprise the area.

Sprawling green spaces like Flushing Meadows Corona Park and Forest Park provide ample opportunities to engage in outdoor recreation close to home. Forest Hills touts a strong legacy in tennis. The U.S. World Open was held at Forest Hills Stadium annually up until 1978. Today, Forest Hills Stadium serves as an open-air music venue, boasting world-class acts from numerous award-winning musicians and performers.

There is a broad range of housing options in Forest Hills, from prewar co-ops to Tudor-style mansions and everything in between.

Great space, awful coop

A beautiful front lawn and a spacious shared backyard are included. The building is well-maintained, and the neighbors are kind. However, compared to other coop buildings, the board is slower and less helpful here. They devalue this place.

Great location, nice back yard

The building is in great location, around the corner from the subway. It comes with a huge private back yard, the gym is well-equipped though I wish it were open 24-hour. The concierge staff are very friendly and remind you when you have packages. All in all, great apartment! ? ?
