"Bayside, one of the nicer, more expensive neighborhoods in Queens"

Bayside is one of the better neighborhoods in Queens, New York. With a diverse population and nice housing offerings, this neighborhood is a wonderful place for people of all walks of life and a wonderful oasis from the concrete which punctuates the landscape. A great place to live and retire.

This neighborhood, today middle class, is one of the most popular and elite neighborhoods in the city due to its prime waterfront location. Today, the neighborhood is mainly inhabited by middle class residents, but is still, nonetheless, one of Queen’s most notable neighborhoods. Sites of interest include Lawrence Cemetery, All Saints Episcopal Church, and the Straitiron-Storm Cigar Factory.

The neighborhood is filled with good schools, libraries, and parks, making it a wonderful place for families with children to reside. There are also six parks in the neighborhood, making this one of the most green neighborhoods in the city.

Housing costs in the neighborhood range according to real estate options, which are mainly single family homes and multiple family apartment buildings. Bayside is considered one of the most expensive places to live in the city, with four bedroom homes selling for more than $2 million, on average. These spacious estates which once brought New York City’s elite to this borough still maintain their charm, making this one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Queens.

Transportation in the neighborhood is convenient with Bayside's major highways include the Long Island Expressway, Clearview Expressway, and the Cross Island Parkway. Bayside is also connected to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan and Long Island by the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington Branch at the Bayside station.

"Nice residential spot"

Though it may bear the same name as the high school that Zack Morris attended, this neighborhood is way way out there – certainly no place that any living tourist has ever ventured (save those going to the city to visit grandmothers who live out here). The neighborhood is therefore super residential, though it does (obviously) have some waterfront property. If you like the fact that it is so far from the city while still actually being a part of the city, then take extra comfort in the fact that this is one of the safest neighborhoods in Queens – indeed, the numbers concerning crime are pretty impressive.
