Forest Hills
Forest Hills is the Queens compromise that actually works. Forest Hills Gardens gives you Tudor revival on private streets, Austin Street gives you a walkable spine of restaurants and bars, and the express stops on the E and F give you Midtown in twenty minutes. The Jewish community here is deep-rooted and visible, and the neighborhood reads as established rather than striving. The tradeoff is the price of all that: rents trend higher than the borough average and the Gardens itself is genteel to the point of hushed. If you want suburban calm without leaving the subway map, this is the address.
