No. Rego Park has the R and M, and Briarwood the E and F. So the Queens Blvd line, which in my opinion are better neighborhoods than those on the 7 line. Would still be easily under an hour commute, with better schools and parks.
Awesome! Thank you so much!!

This area, with those 4 neighborhood, leaves a person central to everything, and still find a 3 bedroom for $2200 a month.
I definitely have JH and Sunnyside on the list!! Thank you so much!! I still have to get used to this whole 2/1 apartment or 3/2 apartments..lol..gonna miss my 2/2 apartments here in Atlanta.
Astoria would be great. Used to live there and there were always kids running around, playing. Not sure about schools, but you can get a solid place for your price range.
Are Rego Park and Briarwood near the 7? Lol. I know I am obsessed with the 7, but I just want to make my commute easy and under an hour.
Okay. Thanks for the info on Flushing!
Is your workplace right next to a 7 train stop and not near any other trains? I hope you do realize that there are other trains that service Long Island City. For example, the E,M, G and 7 all stop at Court Square. Also the N, W and 7 all stop at Queensboro Plaza and the E, M and R all stop at Queens Plaza.
Can you post the intersection, or at least the general area, where your workplace is?
If you could get off in LIC at Court Square, then a commute from an E train stop (like Forest Hills) could make quite a bit of sense.
Job literally starts on Monday. Trying to find a way to break lease and do a bunch of other stuff, but the opportunity arose so I need to make it happen. I have been questioning if I can survive on a six figure salary(100-120 range) in NYC, but everyone says that I can, so I guess I'll try it. Job is in Long Island City. Not sure where I will live though right now. Staying in Airbnb for a couple weeks until I can secure place. Any ideas?
I am very familiar with the Bronx and Washington Heights, but I don't know anything about Queens honestly. I have family in the Bronx and WH, but they keep a certain lifestyle that I have to try to stay away from so I haven't even informed them that I'll be local now...hence my coming to Internet for questions.
Insight on best places to live in Queens would be helpful...best elementary schools...and if my salary will be ok to survive on considering I am very comfortable on less in Atlanta.
With six fighres you can find something nice in astoria. Its right next to long island city.
Ignore everyone else in this thread. Folks from Atlanta will fit in perfectly in Southeast Queens. It is the most Americanized portion of NYC. Springfield Gardens, Queens Village, Hollis, Laurelton, Rochdale, Saint Albans and Cambria Heights (it is flat) are the places for you.

For some reason I imagine the residential neighborhoods in Atlanta to look vaguely like a less dense version of Southeast Queens
Also I don't think that's a very good suggestion given the location of her job and the fact that the neighborhoods along Queens Blvd are way more interesting.
Looking for Atlanta in Queens...how novel an idea.
