One of three parks near us... great for younger kids. There is lots of space to swing, slide, and climb.
Our Home and Neighborhood...
We look forward to sharing our warm and loving home with a little one. We live in a large light-filled apartment in a family friendly neighborhood in Queens, NY. Our home is filled with books, musical instruments (1 keyboard & 8 guitars!), and lots of laughter. Our neighborhood is one of the most diverse in Queens and is safe, quiet and only a short 15 minute subway ride to the center of Manhattan. We are a 45 minute drive to the beaches of Long Island and an hours drive to the mountains. We moved here shortly before we were married with thoughts of raising a family in this welcoming community.
Parks... Our neighborhood is filled with large trees and has three parks within walking distance. There is plenty of room to cater to the many kids in the area with activities for all age groups. The parks are used year around. Kids (and their parents) love the hills for sledding and snowball fights in the winter.
Another park where older kids play baseball, basketball, & soccer.
There's also lots of space for running around and riding bikes.
Farmer's Market... a few years ago a year around Farmer's Market also came to the neighborhood. They have fresh fruit, vegetables, baked goods, and so much more. Every Saturday it's a community event complete with balloon twisters for the kids.
