East Elmhurst is a quiet, suburban-style neighborhood in northern Queens bordering La Guardia Airport. The New York Times once labeled this community the city’s most stable neighborhood – much of the landscape has been virtually unchanged for decades, and it’s quite common to have neighbors who have lived in the same home for forty years or more.
Mainly a residential area filled with historic apartments and single-family homes, east Elmhurst features a busy commercial district along Astoria Boulevard (featuring landmarks like the Fair Theatre and the Buccaneer Diner), with the thriving shopping and dining scene of Jackson Heights just a few blocks to the south.
Major local attractions like Citi Field and Flushing Meadows Corona Park are within walking distance to the southeast, among many smaller parks inside the neighborhood and nearby.
