Single-family homes and warehouses meet above Flushing
Directly across the Flushing Bay from LaGuardia Airport is College Point, a neighborhood that holds onto its industrial past even as its residential presence has grown. A pair of luxury condo buildings with waterfront views lives around the corner from the Pepsi bottling plant, and tree-lined streets with single-family homes on one block can become warehouses on the next block. “The majority of development in Queens is haphazard, so you could have a block of townhouses, a block of Cape Cods. There’s a mix of everything,” says Wayne Rose, who has been living and selling real estate in College Point for the past 30 years. That mix has also created opportunities to live just outside the hustle bustle of Flushing. “We’re not as congested as the areas to the west of us and we’re definitely more affordable than the areas to the east,” Rose says.

Waterfront condo communities and simple NYC colonials
Most of College Point’s single-family homes are on the neighborhood’s north side, built in brick or vinyl-sided colonial styles. Prices begin at $700,000 and can go up to $1.3 million for houses with extensive renovations or estate-style properties. Multifamily homes are priced between $1 million and $1.5 million. Several gated condominium communities along the northern waterfront include amenities like parking lots, swimming pools and private boat slips. Most units are priced between $400,000 and $750,000, with a few units in the luxury Allura buildings going for $1.2 million. “I applaud the investment that new homeowners are making,” Rose says. “In the past, no one has invested as much money in the homes being built here.”

Shopping mall conveniences and a growing Chinese food scene
Thanks to the College Point Center mall, residents have a Target, ShopRite, BJ’s Wholesale Club and T.J. Maxx in their backyard. College Point Boulevard, running lengthwise through the neighborhood, has a mix of dining, delis and grocery stores — including Empire Market, a German butcher that opened in 1921, and Chinese restaurants that have spilled over from Flushing. For a night out, Akiyama has top-notch sushi, and the KTV karaoke lounge is open until 4:00 a.m.

Celebrating on College Point Boulevard
Several annual parades and street fairs let College Point residents stay in touch with their community and meet local business owners. The College Point Boulevard Street Fair sets up food vendors and free kids’ amusement rides, and both the Memorial Day and Halloween parades bring out crowds on that same thoroughfare.
More top-of-the-class schools on the way
Local students in kindergarten through fifth grade can attend P.S. 129, which has an A-minus grade from Niche. M.S. 379 College Point Collaborative teaches grades sixth through eighth and has a B grade from Niche. In 2026, a new public high school will open at the site of the former St. Agnes High School, and for now students can attend neighboring Flushing High School, which has a B-minus grade.
College Point Collaborative has a student-teacher ratio of 12 to 1.
PS 129 Patricia Larkin is ranked #248 in New York Elementary Schools.

East River boating and robust recreation options
Along the northern edge, MacNeil Park has paths with waterfront views, as well as a playground, handball court and a kayak launch. Next door, the College Point Yacht Club helps residents make the most of the water, which Rose recommends. “I had a boat and loved going down the East River and the Harlem River,” he says. South in the neighborhood, Frank Golden Park and College Point Fields have athletic areas for soccer, baseball and roller hockey.

Bus transfers and direct expressway access
While there is no subway service in College Point, multiple buses take residents into Flushing where they can transfer to the 7 train to reach Manhattan. The I-678 expressway, on the neighborhood’s east side, will provide even better access to southern Queens and the Bronx once the Linden Place Extension Project is completed.

Airplane noise and land development issues
College Point’s location and history carry some concerns for residents and developers. On the southwest side, closest to LaGuardia Airport, plane noises can be as high as 69 dBA, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. According to First Street, a nonprofit organization that gathers climate data, over 25% of College Point properties are at risk of flooding. Finally, a 12-acre wetland that was once part of Flushing Airport has been undeveloped because of high levels of herbicide found in the soil and weak ground. “I believe it’s prehistoric swamp land, so I think that’s what’s held it back from anything happening,” Rose says.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Very dirty, isolated, and poor. But do not let that trick you into thinking that this is a bad town. The people are humble and hard working, the food is cheap and good, there are lots of busses nearby.

College Point is a working-middle-class neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens. It is bounded to the south by Whitestone Expressway and Flushing; to the east by 138th Street and Malba/Whitestone; to the north by the East River; and to the west by Flushing Bay. The road condition is not good. Traffic is busy, especially at 8 am on weekdays.

The cops are more likely to fine you for double parking that protect you from a criminal.
