Flushing isn't just a neighborhood; it is a major commercial and residential powerhouse in Northern Queens. Famous for having one of the largest and most vibrant Chinatowns in the world, the area offers an urban intensity that rivals Manhattan.
The energy is palpable around the intersection of Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue—the third busiest intersection in New York City—where shopping centers, street vendors, and commuters converge. Yet, just blocks away in areas like Murray Hill or Broadway-Flushing, the atmosphere shifts to quiet, tree-lined streets with spacious single-family homes.
For those working in Midtown, Flushing is one of the most strategic places to live in Queens. It serves as a major terminal for both the subway and the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR).
Flushing's real estate market is remarkably diverse, catering to various budgets and lifestyles. You will generally find three distinct categories of inventory:
Inventory moves fast here. The demand for luxury condos near the 7 train has skyrocketed, but look toward the Auburndale border for more space at a better price point.
To say Flushing is a "foodie paradise" is an understatement. It is arguably the best destination for Asian cuisine on the East Coast. The dining scene is split between bustling food courts, high-end banquet halls, and street stalls.
Residents have access to Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the site of two World's Fairs. It is larger than Central Park and houses the Queens Museum, the New York Hall of Science, and the Queens Zoo.
Sports fans are right next door to Citi Field (home of the Mets) and the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, which hosts the US Open every summer, bringing global energy to the neighborhood.
