"Bayside: Beautiful, Clean and Full of Things to Do!"

Living in Bayside, NY my entire life has been great. The area is full of beautiful homes, nice parks and is clean and safe. If you are interested in schools the area has a two great elementary schools in PS 31 which is located on Bell Boulevard and PS 169 also located off Bell Boulevard in Bay Terrace.

Bell Boulevard is sort of the central hub of activity in Bayside. It is very well known for its restaurants, shops and nightlife. There is literally something for anyone on Bell. If Italian food is your thing head over the Vesuvios for tremendous pasta. If pizza is your thing hit up VI Pizza which has been a staple of Bayside life for over 40 years. Want some Thai food? Erawan provides great Thai food at affordable prices with a lovely atmosphere. If nightlife is more your scene then you can hit up one of Bell's many many bars including First Edition, where you can catch virtually any game on TV, or Sullivans located right by the Long Island RailRoad.

That's another feature of Bayside that makes it highly convenient. Right on Bell Boulevard is a Long Island RailRoad stop. If you're looking to do something in Manhattan, such as a Rangers or Knicks game or to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, you can hop on the LIRR and be there in twenty minutes.

If shopping is more your area of interest then you can head down to Bay Terrace. Bay Terrace is located just off Little Neck Bay and hosts a variety of stores from small shops to major chain retailers to restaurants. Just a few of the stores located there include Applebees, Barnes & Noble, Duane Reade, Gap and Gamestop. You can pretty much find anything you're looking for in Bay Terrace.

Bayside is also a beautiful place for a family. The crime rate is low and the streets are clean. It also provides some beautiful scenery during the Fall and Winter months, particularly when it snows. Croucheron Park is simply lovely during the Fall as the leaves begin to change colors and fall from the trees.

In short if you're looking for a great place to live in NYC then check out Bayside in Queens. You will not be disappointed.
