Hi, One of the examples of how diverse the city of New York is with its architecture (not only in the face of New York Skyscrapers, but also in the face of many other styles, types of New York architecture), culture, characters of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and other parts of this city. I went " Forest Hills Gardens" in the Queens, years ago, because of my job those times. I called this place little Netherland, because of the architecture of the houses, in the place with the church, which also reminded me of the historical fact that at the beginning the Dutch appeared here and for a short time this city was called New Amsterdam before the appearance of the British, the British, respectively, the city changed with name New York. Also, despite all these social and other problems in this city ( wich also means that New York City is so expensive to live for most, ordinary people), after we lived 24 years in this city, New York will always be part of our life with its pros and cons, with its diverse characters, diverse beautiful architecture, cultures of different places of Manhattan, Brooklyn and other parts of New York. One of my favorite places of New York City are im Manhattan: " Gramercy Park" area, Upper West and East Sides, Greenwich Village and others, in Brooklyn: Greenpoint, Brooklyn Heights and others... Sincerely, Alex

I grew up in Elmhurst but went to school in Kew Gardens. My school bus used to drive through Forest Hills and (just like Tim) I grew up dreaming of living in one of these houses. Hanging out in Forest Hills on the weekend was always such a treat. I’m based in Asia now and it’s been years since I last walked down these streets and I’m amazed how everything is just as pretty as I remember it (maybe even moreso).

My family lived in this part of Forest Hills, outside the boundary of Forest Hills Gardens. The stadium also hosted US Open Tennis before it moved to Flushing. Before I came along, my parents and sister heard the Beatles, in 1964, play at the stadium and were brought in by helicopter. They opened the windows of our home all the way to hear the concert. After I came along and before moving to another part of Queens, our parents would take us to the stadium to watch some tennis. In 1960, my Mom a new immigrant to the USA, saw JFK campaigning for the 1960 presidential election in the Forest Hills Plaza.

i grew up in Forest Hills Gardens. great memories. the smell of leaves in autumn. winter nights. summer walks. you should also see the beautiful elementary school: PS 101. And the Community House, which has a pool. One more thing: parks. It has beautiful parks. Some you can see -- some are literally hidden and only truly accessible to the houses that surround them! Those were perhaps the most amazing thing. Finally, the celebrities: the nurse in Rear Window, Jimmy Breslin, Geraldine Ferraro, Dale Carnegie, Helen Keller -- and more.

There is a magnificent Art Deco building I think was called the Leslie, and a small Carolingian style church in the Gardens I sometimes went to. Leaving the busy commercial Austin street & entering under the archways, is like stepping back in time. Jon thanks for the video...well done.

I've known about Forest Hills for decades, but I never read up on it, so I always had an image in my head of something similar to a wealthy Fairfield County, forested town. Now that I've seen it for the first time in this video, the image in my head hasn't been too far off. The homes are a bit closer together than I imagined though, which means I envisioned that it looked LESS like NYC than it actually does.

Can’t disagree. I accidentally walked and discovered this area when I was searching in forest hills for a condo in 2005. The gardens were way over my humble budget. Due to the co-op rules in forest hills,I decided to move to a small condo in the best neighborhood in queens. Best decision I ever made.

@GariusMarius 2 жыл бұрын
You are on point. There are pros and cons of a strict co-op board. If managed appropriately, the outcome is a clean environment, with tenants that view the building as a community rather than a free-for-all mentality. I lived in a co-op across from shopping areas, overlooking beautiful blossom trees. This was in the neighborhood of Rego Park (bordering Forest Hills) in Queens. It's one of the many well-kept "secret" family oriented neighborhoods where apartment prices are still within reach. The strict co-op rules also result in tenant safety by not allowing unvetted renters or airbnb visitors. Having 24/7 doorman is a luxury as well and we never had any our packages stolen unlike other buildings that we had lived in with constant package thieves. Anyone interested in buying a co-op where a single family home is outside of their budget should look within the Rego Park area, bordering Forest Hills. I am not an RE agent. :)

It's the standard at all outdoor concerts, actually. This is due to city outdoor noise ordinances. On that note, I actually enjoy seeing shows there, but I don't like that the majority of seating are no-back bleachers. Can't get what you want all the time, I guess.

Richmond Hill is nice, but no comparison to Forest Hills Gardens. I know Richmond Hill very well, having grown up in Woodhaven.

Jon I loved this, I am watching from London 🇬🇧 UK. This area looks and feels like England. I do not think its going to be quiet as the tourists are going to love this.
