College Point Blvd, Flushing

32nd avenue has a lot of flavor to it and what you find all depends on where on the large street you settle on. Cloe to the Van Wyck and Whitestone Expressway the area feels more commercial and industrialized, but as you move across the street into the more residential parts of Flushing it's lovely and tree-lined with small businesses and service oriented shops sitting next to well-kept homes. It's convenient as it's a major road but those who are considering living in the area will want to have a car as it's not the most convenient area in the borough but I would trade public transportation for the solice of a quiet street that still offers great shopping.
