Other places in Queens don't have parks. Rego Park has no park. Woodside, LIC, Maspeth. Even vast majority of Forest Hills is not close to any parks, unless you cross the wretched Union Tpke.
Yes, Your 100% correct. That's why I compiled the list that was my opinion. FH, Far from Forrest Park? LIC, is getting all the new money into Queens. That's the reason their are numerous NY Met's living there.
Not great amenities? What CAN'T you find in JH?...lol.
My vote goes to JH, best value in NYC IMO... near many trains, safe, big apt's, many non chain restaurants, and some higher end places have been coming in.
Sunnyside and FH are good options as well.
Astoria as well though it's become a bit expensive and there isn't much housing stock in terms of apt/s.
Crossing into the Forest Park is not the easiest. It is not fronted to Forest Hills like Astoria Park is in Astoria or Kissena Park into Fresh Meadows (Booth Memorial).
Even if you lived in the Gardens, or South of Metropolitan around Continental (71st) Ave., it's not easy to cross. You also need to hike up, cross the railroad, around the towers on Union Tpke, cross again into the playgrounds. Horseback riders used to cross at Continental and Union Tpke, back then when the horse stables were next to the pool complex.
Nowadays, you basically have to drive up the hill on Woodhaven Blvd, past Trader Joe's / Home Depot.
Still have to get to 74th st and 82nd st for the Iron Horse. Unless your taking a magic carpet ride, which is easy to purchase in JH
A ten minute walk. Perfect for me. Then 20 minutes into Grand Central. Worked upstairs in the MetLife building. Couldn't have asked for a better commute.
Roosevelt doesn't bother me at all. I've never had any problems there at any hour of the day.
Who needs parks when you have a beautiful, private garden/courtyard?
