Hi. Me and my family are thinking to move to Queens from Brooklyn. Its getting bad here and we want to move to Queens which will be closer to work. To be honest its okay if the neighborhood has lots of Hispanics like me and whites and Asians but not a lot of blacks. Just want to be honest okay. So please tell me some places like these. Thanks...

Coming from Brooklyn you'll find all of Queens to be just fine. Even the black neighborhoods, which are mostly just the southeastern section of the boro.

Any place with a lot of Korean restaurants and supermarkets will be incredibly safe.

lol...

I go to Queens quite often on the weekends and for me almost all neighborhoods in Queens are safe. Sunnyside, Woodside, Astoria, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Flushing, Forest Hills.. there you go.

I don't know how you feel about Jamaica and Far Rockaway . they are in Queens too but safety wise - so/so.

Before you dismiss living around blacks in Queens, you should know that black household income in Queens has surpassed whites since 2005..and no other county in the country with a population larger than 65,000 can make that claim.

I get it is all about preference, but the blacks you might be dealing with in Brooklyn are likely different than the ones you may encounter in Queens.

Lots of safe neighborhoods in Queens. You might want to narrow things down by saying what else is important to you. Do you need to be able to walk to the subway, or are you willing to take a bus to it? If the subway has to be within walking distance, your money might go further in Elmhurst than other subway neighborhoods like Forest Hills or Astoria.

The vast majority of Blacks in Queens live in the Southeast portion of the borough, outside of that the black population in the rest of Queens is very miniscule.

The only black area in Queens other than east of the van Wyck and south of hillside ave would be east Elmhurst. And even there, not sure that's still the case anymore.
