Mopar don’t mope: Hunter elementary – Manhattan only; Hunter high school – any of the 5 boros.
“The best schools in NYC are in far northeastern Queens. Want to live there?”
Up on a hill in Douglas Manor overlooking Little Neck Bay? Hell yes if I had a few million dollars lying around.
Whoops, I meant coop prices in Jackson Heights seem like coop prices in PLG. Thanks, Heather.
Interesting about Windsor Terrace, Slick.
Forrest Hills is more expensive than Jackson Heights, and also quite a bit fancier. But not all of JH looks like the area under the elevated train — and not all the historic buildings are so far from the express stop – although the heart of the historic district (80th St.) is.
Heather, maybe they’ve changed the rules. I know someone who lived in JH in the 80s and went to Hunter — and then to Yale. If it did change, that would really suck since my entire geographical real estate life plan depends on Hunter. Oh well — maybe by the time that’s relevant, the Upper East Side will be really cheap.
forest hills is a very large neighborhood. the prime area is near the 71st/continental station which is a leisurely commute. The schools in forest hills are among the best in the city (like PS 101).
Jackson heights has some nice landmarked apt buildings, but even the closest among them are a bit of a hike to the Roosevelt stop on the E/F. The schools are very good but not in the top echelon of public schools.
Windsor Terrace is different. It’s an Italian neighborhood that was traditionally home to a lot of civil service workers like police and firefighters. It was never glamorous or overdeveloped. Even in the worst times for this city, it was still a safe and pleasant neighborhood. The best comparison is Bay Ridge.
I think you have to live in Manhattan (although I think Inwood and Washington Heights count) for the little genius to go to Hunter… NEST is city-wide.
Note: I am not at the elementary-school level yet of looking so I could be wrong about this.
Weird floor plan was in PLG. Kinda sorta. And the school district looked amazingly abysmal. But that apartment looked great.
continental avenue forest hills station is 5 minutes east of jackson hts express stop. and forest hills to me seems much nicer area.
Jackson Heights is 20 minutes from midtown on the E express. The elementary school is decent enough, and your little genius can test into Hunter and then go to Yale. Like everywhere else in New York, the area is safe as long as there are people around, and there usually are. They do like to steal plants, however. List prices are down 20 to 30 percent off peak. I haven’t checked actual sales prices. Of course, this has no relevance to anything. I’m just saying the prices seem comparable to — oops, not to Windsor Terrace. Where was that place yesterday with the weird floor plan?
“Jackson Heights is MUCH closer to Manhattan than Forest Hills, and MUCH MUCH closer than Kew Gardens.”
That is hyperbole.
Kew Gardens is the immediate neighborhood EAST of Forest Hills. They are separated by 1 subway stop (75th Street).
Mopar, suspected you were referring to those massive coops in the historic district. yeah, those are really nice and HUGE
