I actually hated living in Queens at the time, over 20 years ago. But hindsight is 20/20 and after living in Florida, I would rather be in Queens handsdown.

Get off the main roads sometime. You might learn something.
My husband grew up on 72nd Place in Maspeth. Name the closest main road and don't google it.

When we first married we lived on Seabury St. in Elmhurst. Name the closest main road and don't google it.

We bought our first house on Goldington Court in Middle Village. Name the closest main road and don't google it.

Get off the main roads YOU5RSELF. I lived in Queens for 15 years and my husband was born, raised, and live in Queens for over 35 years.

TRY AGAIN.

And the point of this bitter little diatribe? I don't claim to know ANY of these areas of Queens. We were talking about THE BRONX.

Get a clue and actually read the thread you are responding to.

What a pathetic comeback. I have never claimed to know all about NYC,
but I obviously know more about the neighborhood being discussed in THE BRONX - not Queens - than either you or Racheal do. Stick to what you know.

Oh, and just so you AND your daughter know, we can all tell which one of you is using your account at which time. Your writing, insult and denial styles are entirely different from each other.

Actually I think Johnatl is correct, the areas of The Bronx along the Pelham Pkwy is pretty nice. Its not Riverdale but its not bad either.

KONY, I disagree with you about The Bronx having the most diverse housing stock. Don't forget that Brooklyn and especially Queens, are much bigger than The Bronx and so will more housing stock in general.

In Queens for example, there are huge Victorian areas in Richmond Hill & North Flushing, Dutch Colonials in Queens Village and Hollis, Tudors in Jamaica Estates and Holliswood and even a small section of Florida style houses in Laurelton.
