I have relatives in the area and one reason they pick the area because they don't want the subway.
Subway brings noise, traffic, and crime etc. Not everyone in NYC wants to live near a subway train.
Bayside which has no subway has one of the highest property values.
I wish we had subway access here in bayside .....the LIRR cost a fortune ..the express bus trip is hit and miss to the city , it can take very long at times..it also stinks that our line has no direct connection to head out east on the LIRR without wasting so much time heading in the opposite direction to switch...
My wife does not drive so before we were married she found getting around via public transportation a real pain . She is in bay terrace 40 years. , I am here 19
Why do your posts seldom have anything to do with the topic? It's like you don't even know what's being asked.
The OP asked for any information which sheds light on College Point and the poster you are addressing shared that the city government has or may have decided to place one or more homeless shelters there. How is that not relevant to revealing something of impact or consequence about life in the College Point neighborhood? So a prospective resident of said neighborhood wouldn't want to know that the neighborhood is or may be becoming a haven or dumping ground for the homeless???
It appears that it is YOU who is somewhat not tuned in and confused here.
It's an upper middle class to owning class area that is considered part of Flushing. Rents are 3000 dollars and the modal resident is probably a doctor or lawyer. The majority of towns in Queens that are spread out like that are very expensive and basically a suburb for immigrants.
It's the first area that the bus passes through when I go from the Bronx to Flushing. The main cultures are Chinese, Korean and Jewish.

Quite wrong .. in fact it is almost 1/3 workers with no degrees . Only 6% have a masters ....median Household income is 70k with the average at 52k ....one bedrooms run 1800 or so a month , pretty much what they are in many other areas ... you can get a two bedroom two bath apartment in bay terrace which is a better area for under 2500 a month and a one bedroom for less , a studio is even cheaper.
It is 37% Hispanic , 32% Asian , 22% white and the rest assorted.
Google can be your friend and a wealth of actual data instead of shooting from the hip with what you think
One of the older working class hoods in queens. Still has long time residents of the Italian kind.
On the way there sucks. Passing through an industrial zone along college point Blvd.
Very good view at the park or along the water. It's been a while, but from memory,does not suffer as much from developement.
