Live like royalty in the borough that has some of the best cuisine, entertainment, and attractions in the city. Queens is a sprawling New York City borough, covering 109 square miles — the most land of all the city’s boroughs.
If you’re looking for a borough where you can get a little more bang for your buck, Queens has a much lower cost of living compared to Manhattan — by more than 56 percent. Groceries, entertainment, and even transportation costs are lower in Queens, making it an attractive borough for those who want to enjoy everything New York City has to offer, but at a lower price tag.
Like most of NYC, getting around Queens is a breeze. There are more than 80 rail stations, and the borough is extremely walkable and bike-friendly. It’s also home to John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport. For those with cars, Queens provides easy access to I-678, I-495, and I-295.
When you live in Queens, you aren’t in a concrete jungle.
