Middle Village, NY

Middle Village is a charming neighborhood in central Queens, straddling the line between city and suburb. Primarily a residential community, the landscape ranges from rows of townhouses and apartment buildings to tree-lined streets of single-family, stand-alone homes. The neighborhood is anchored by Juniper Valley Park, a large community recreation area and greenspace filled with lush greenery, sports fields, playgrounds, and a network of footpaths. Just off the northeast corner of the neighborhood, the Queens Center forms the centerpiece of a popular shopping and dining district where Queens Boulevard meets the Long Island Expressway. Austin Street in neighboring Forest Hills provides another great area to find unique restaurants and storefront boutiques, plus a thriving nightlife scene.
