There are people I know who live in Kew Gardens and don't own a car. If you live within walking of Union Turnpike where you get the E,F, that's even better. Plus there's an LIRR stop in K.G. also. The area has many beautiful homes, buildings, etc., and is a lot quieter than some parts of Forest Hills. You also have lovely Forest Park for you and your family. Rents, etc., are a little cheaper too than in Forest Hills
It's a pretty safe area and I'd recommend it without hesitation for you, but look around first as even the best part of any area can have a few sketchy blocks.
