Blissville is a small Queens neighborhood with city skyline views
Blissville is a small neighborhood in Queens between Interstates 495 and 278. It sits across the Newtown Creek from Greenpoint, and looking westward, residents can admire the Manhattan skyline. “It’s zoned industrial,” says Michael Bethoney, a broker with Nest Seekers International, who specializes in luxury new developments across New York. Much of the neighborhood is taken up by industrial buildings and Calvary Cemetery, with just a few blocks of residential buildings in between. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they started building more around there," says Silvette Julian, a real estate advisor at Compass with over 15 years of experience in the New York metro area. "Whether it’s close to the cemetery… you build, they buy. Brooklyn has been a little unaffordable, so people go to Queens for similar proximity to work.”
Calvary Cemetery occupies most of the Blissville neighborhood.
Blissville sits close to the East River shoreline at WNYC Transmitter Park.

Emergency care at Tisch Hospital about 3 miles away and LaGuardia Airport is about 5 miles away. Neighborhood streets are busy with trucks on the road, so it can be hazardous to walk and bike.
