43rd Ave, Woodside

This area doesn't have all the fancy stores or close by malls, but it's a very nice and quiet area to live. The long island railroad is close by so is the #7 Train that takes you into Manhattan or Flushing,Queens. Parking here at night isn't bad either, most of the residents have parking drive ways so, they don't park on the street. There's a few apartment complex about 5 blocks area toward Roosevelt Ave. Across Queens Blvd there's office max and blockbuster video, getting on the express way is close as well. BQE which is 278 is about 2 blocks away. Everything is about 5 mins driving distance from car washes to food markets. This area is good for people that drive as well as those that don't. Rent is fare around this area compared to Elmhurst which is a few blocks away and a bit higher than Jackson Heights area but, I like this area as it feels much safer and much more quiet. Junior High school is about 6 blocks away for those that has kids.

43rd ave is hard to describe as much of it is just the same as any other run of the mill street in Queens. One can expect homes, shops, and maybe a park. However this street is unique in one major, at least for me anyway. I opractice Buddhism and there are few if any temples or monasteries around. True New York City has its fair share, but even here they are hard to find. The Fu Yen Buddha temple is just of 43 avenue. After a service or meditation you can go one more block to a great little coffee shop that I frequent. There is also public transportation at 43rd and 108th, travel well and enjoy Queens.
