Hey there - my husband and I are looking to move from the loud, noisy Bronx to a nicer area. We're looking at either Queens or Long Island - still don't know which would be better... I'm wondering what your opinions are on living in College Point, Bayside, and/or Douglaston? We don't have children yet, but still want to near good schools, quiet neighborhood and not too far from public transportation. Ideas?
My cousins live in Bayside. It's a pretty nice area actually. Most of the population there are Orientals and Indians. It's a quaint neighborhood and is quiet. There's a park nearby also.
All three are very nice- though College Point seems a little "isolated" to me (it seems ridiculous to say that about any part of Queens, just my observation) Bayside and Douglaston are very nice, as is Whitetone (where I lived for a long time)
Ummm Bayside is mostly Italian or Korean. I don't know where you get off saying most of the people are Oriental or Indian.

Actually, Bayside is all mixed..there are jews there, too...it's a nice area, in addition to whitestone and douglaston..i don't think i would rush over to college point, however..are you looking for a house or apt.? A house anywhere in Queens is NEVER going for $425, unless it's a knock-down..good luck!

There are hardly any Indians there.
Lots of Indians in Fresh Meadows and Floral Park by Little Neck Parkway however.
i'm guessing bayside is our best option? what about the schools there?
