Kew Gardens is a unique Queens neighborhood that offers a sort of peaceful tranquility. This is really a quiet place not recommended for those ones looking a more wild lifestyle of New York city. The most striking or remarkable difference between this and other New York city neighborhoods is the plethora of green (during warmer months), a presence of grass you don´t normally see in the city.
This place is pretty cool great authentic cultural cuisine (amazing roast chicken on the Boulevard),people here are friendly, traffic is a bit bustling. The homes are very beautiful which make the area a nice environment. It´s a multicultural and Joyful experience living here. Adjacent to Forest Park, Kew Gardens is very interesting with lots of hills and curves, on which there are lovely Tudor and Colonial homes as well as pre-war buildings.
The population is increasingly diverse as more Asians and African Americans are moving here. This ethnic diversity is reflected in the food. One of the best parts of living in Kew Gardens is that you can enjoy easy access to Forest Park, where you can enjoy Swimming, tennis, golf, outdoor concerts and a myriad of other fun activities. Forest Park is 538-acre park with small hills, groves of trees, a carousel that is open during the summer months, walking paths, tennis courts and playgrounds.
In other words, Kew Gardens seems to be the city away from the city due to its atmosphere and lack of hustle and bustle. Comprised mostly of residential homes and clusters of apartments. Kew Gardens resembles a neighborhood more like that of westchester Country of Hoboken, NJ than New York city.
