Forest Hills Real Estate & Forest Hills Homes for Sale

Forest Hills is just 15 minutes from Penn Station on the Long Island Railroad. This laidback, affluent neighborhood is considered one of the most desirable places to live in Queens.

In addition to service to Manhattan on the LIRR, Forest Hills offers easy city commutes on the E, F, M and R subway lines, as well as on 495 and Queens Boulevard. Two massive parks flank the neighborhood. To the south is Forest Park, and to the east is Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Between the two, every type of outdoor activity, from hiking and biking, athletic fields, equestrian activities, to boating and fishing is available nearby.

Real estate in Forest Hills is of a particularly high quality, and the options are diverse. In the center of the neighborhood, a planned community called Forest Hills Gardens features large, Victorian and tudor-style, single-family homes with big yards and old growth trees. The rest of Forest Hills offers a wonderfully diverse mix of residential real estate, including condos, pre-war co-ops, and smaller single-family homes, some historic and some new construction.

Austin Street, a main thoroughfare through the northern part of Forest Hills, is lined with historic brick storefronts, home to hundreds of independent boutiques, restaurants, bars and cafes. On the southern end of the neighborhood, Metropolitan Avenue is another commercial strip on a slightly busier street, which is home to theaters, big box stores and a higher density of chain stores and restaurants. Together, these two retail destinations offer everything residents need.
