"Fantastic Block to live on"

Burden Crescent is a great block in the heart of Briarwood, Queens. The street is one block long and kind of hidden. You have to look for it to find it. This makes the block quiet and well kept, no traffic a park for some of the cooperative apartment buildings. Burden Crescent is a short walk to the E and F train stop and the shops on Queens Blvd. I lived on this block for 7 years - a great place to live.
Pros
  • safe
  • kind people

"Great Housing, tree lined streets and family neighborhood"

Briarwood has single family, multi family and large cooperatives and rental properties. There is easy access to public transportation - the E and F train, buses including express buses to the city as well as access to many highways since it sits near the Kew Gardens Interchange. Coop and housing prices are reasonable - similar housing in Kew Gardens or Forest Hills is more expensive. Briarwood has its own branch of the Queens Public library and a great large playground for children in the community. There are supermarkets in walking distance from almost any part of Briarwood and access to other essential stores like pharmacies. The neighborhood is diverse and neighbors are friendly.
Pros
  • A lot of transportation options
  • Highly diverse population
  • safe
  • kind neighbors
