Southeast of Astoria, Woodside is a snug Queens neighborhood known for its rich cultural texture. Historically Irish and Italian settlers found the area, followed by immigrants from Asia and South America, and their influences are evident in Woodside’s broad dining scene. The neighborhood appeals with its mix of low-rise coop buildings and brick multifamily homes and its proximity to Manhattan. “Woodside buts up against Sunnyside and also Jackson Heights, and it’s a good community to commute from,” says Janine McQueeney, a Queens native and licensed real estate salesperson with Douglas Elliman. “The 7 line runs right through it.”

Coops, contemporary condos, and brick family houses
Woodside’s quiet residential blocks with tree-lined streets give it a removed neighborhood feel, only a few stops from Manhattan. “You’re close to New York City, and there are a lot of coops and multi-families,” says McQueeney. Detached or semi-detached brick family homes cost between $1 million and $2.5 million. Coop buildings can be found, with proximity to the 7 train, and a two-bedroom will run between $399,000 and $538,000. The neighborhood has a few contemporary condo developments, including the seven-story Arcadia Woodside and the nine-story Queens Garden. A one-bedroom condo costs between $496,0000 to $842,000.

One block down, Momo Crave dishes up Nepalese dumplings. Himalayan-style dumplings can be found at the tiny Zhego, which offers Bhutanese specialties. Locals convene for drinks at Donovan’s Pub to grab a Guinness or savor a shepherd’s pie. Grocery stores and markets can be found throughout the neighborhood, including at Key Food near Queens Boulevard. Home Depot can be found on Northern Boulevard and Target is also nearby on 82nd Street.

The area I lived in was very woodsy, lots of trees and lots of fresh air. Extremely large puddles when it rains, and lots of snow due to the open spaces. Feels very homey, lots of stores in convenient, easy to walk to places. Quiet and clean. Neighborhood is very friendly if you are a part of the community.
