If someone is looking for a historic house but don't care about living in Brooklyn Woodhaven< Richmond Hill, and Ozone Park is a great choice. What people don't realize is that under all that ugly vinyl siding are victorians, Wood Frames and Brick historic houses, tons of historic housing stock in a shell. These neighborhoods even have a ton of blocks with beautiful row houses.
I think once these hipsters/yuppies/New Natives start having more and bigger families they will start looking into these neighborhoods. It makes total sense since these are the last few neighborhoods where you can have the best off both worlds, they are urban enough where you have access to trains (Manhattan & Brooklyn) but give you enough of a suburban feel where you have a yard and driveways, front lawns and nature. It's the same reason the middle class originally moved into these neighborhoods.
When you want but can't afford one of those Victorians in Ditmas Park people will start justifying that commute to Richmond Hill, Here's a victorian a few blocks from the J:
