With a wide range of affordable housing, low property taxes, top-rated schools, and a mix of
good public transportation and convenient highway access, it's easy to see why the
communities of Northeast Queens are an attractive location for families seeking suburban
living within the borders of New York City.
Our tree-lined neighborhoods, including Floral Park, Bellerose, Little Neck, and Glen Oaks,
offer a variety of recreational and cultural activities and an active Jewish community and are
close to Nassau County and only a 30-minute railroad ride from Manhattan.
Highlights of the area include
The Bellerose Jewish Center is located on Union Turnpike at 254 Street. To reach the BJC
by car, exit the Grand Central Parkway or the Long Island Expressway at Little Neck
Parkway and travel south on Little Neck Parkway to Union Turnpike. Make a left and the
BJC is one block on the right. You can also exit the Cross Island Parkway at Union
Turnpike, travel east on Union Turnpike and continue until you reach 254 Street.
