If you’re thinking of moving to a new neighborhood, give Forest Hills, Queens, a chance! Whether you’re looking for more space for a growing family, a great food and culture scene, or maybe even catching a few tennis matches, Forest Hills is the place to be. Let’s take a look at some of the features of this beautiful neighborhood!

The first and perhaps most appealing feature of Forest Hills is the space! If you’re moving from a denser part of the city like Manhattan or the Bronx, Forest Hills will be a breath of fresh air. Described as “city life in a suburban setting” by the New York Times, Forest Hills is ready to welcome you home if you're looking for more space in a chronically crowded city. 

In addition to space, Forest Hills stays true to its Queens history with its thriving cultural scene. Museums such as the Queens Museum (which houses a full to-scale model of the five boroughs!), the New York Hall of Science, and the Queen Botanical Gardens all call Forest Hills home. If you’re looking for a great neighborhood to raise your family, these features might just entice you even more than the space! Even more, if you’re a tennis enthusiast, you can enjoy the luxurious Westside Tennis Club, and during the winter, non-members can rent court-time. 

And what’s more Queens than a great food scene? True to form, Forest Hills does not disappoint when it comes to more gastro-centric activities. Some neighborhood favorites include Queens Bully (BBQ), Tamashii Ramen, and Pahal Zan (Middle Eastern), to name a few. No matter what your taste, you’re sure to find your new favorite take-out spot in no time!

With all this plus plenty more to enjoy, find out why everybody’s raving about Forest Hills!
