"Lovely neighborhood with good shopping. "

What is lacks in businesses it makes up for in ambiance. The street is beautiful and offers a true suburban feel to it. The homes are nice, nothing over the top, but nice enough for a small family. While there isn't much going on in the way of business on the street it is close to Metropolitan Avenue which offers all the shopping convenience a resident could want. Tourists likely won't find anything to see on the street.

"On Olcott Street"

On Olcott Street, you won’t find much in the way of food or fun, but you will find a lot in the way of homes. This mainly residential street was beautiful and filled with trees. A good place for familes and more established people, this street was very much worth visiting... and envying! I wish I had a yard, but sadly, they don’t have those in walk-ups in Manhattan! If you would like to get to Olcott Street, you can use the 71st Avenue at Forest Hills Subway and access the E, F, V, and J trains. You can also use the M train at 75th Avenue. The rail at Forest Hills is also located at the intersection of 71st Avenue and Greenway Avenue.
