One problem with Bayside.
It’s in Queens.
Thrust of yet another thread: Everyone wants to live in Park Slope
RE: Bay Ridge commute
There seems to be a strong movement towards bring back the ferry from the 69th Street pier. I know that will only help folks who work on Wall St, but it might certainly helpa good number of you.
Just wondering: is anyone planning on going to any of these open houses tomorrow?
Hi 5:29, the issue for us was what do you do after K-5? There are good K-5 schools, sure, but middle school is tough and everyone we know ended up choosing private schools at that point anyway. Also the concerns about large classes at places like PS 321 are legit. We’d rather not have classes that are 25, 30, 35 kids per room. We’re both creatives and if our kid is as spacey as we can be, a big class distracting the teacher wouldn’t be good. We both thrived under more focused, personal attention, ourselves.
Hey 6:36pm from Bay Ridge, have you checked out the prewar apartments in Windsor Terrace? A friend of mine got one recently so I’ve seen them. They’re spacious, lots of closets, and in the price range you mention. Of course the only subway option there is the F. I don’t know the express bus options in WT.
Ay por Dios, 7:20. Bayside and Douglaston can suck each other’s balls.
6:44 had to comment once again since now you are stigimatizing an entire neighborhood as a “racist shithole” without anything more than personal anecdotes.
As I stated, I lived in Bayside (70’s and 80’s), I have also lived in East New York, Brooklyn, went to school in Clinton Hill and Harlem. I work in Bushwick and Canarsie, own property in Bushwick, Bed-Stuy and the Rockaways. Those are my New Yorker credentials, and yes I was born here.
To dismiss Bayside as you have is both insulting and ridiculous. Growing up in Bayside my neighbors included: in no particular order: Chinese, Jews, Irish, Koreans, Indians, Puerto Ricans and Italians. Funny, I don’t seem to recall any sort of racial flare-ups a la Bensonhurst and Crown Heights (nothing against those neighborhoods). You may have had your share of racial bigotry, who hasn’t? This is New York after all, and we all know how cruel kids can be. So leave that in the past and stop denigrating an area because you see yourself as that most cliched of character: the wide-eyed ingenue seeking the open-minded mecca that is Manhattan. In case you missed it: many of those nice buildings on 5th Avenue were restricted and still are in many ways. By the way, I’m Hispanic myself. Oye como va?
Bayside, Douglaston, Little Neck all border Nassau County. They’d much rather BE in Nassau than in Queens anyway. It’s always been that way.
Seriously, 3:13. I think you are romanticizing Bayside a bit too much. Spare me your multicultural condescending lecture. Bayside was a racist shithole when I lived there. I have no desire to revisit that area and am entitled to my opinion, as you are to yours. It’s also barely within city limits anyway. Enjoy the neighborhood.
