Queens is one of New York City’s most livable boroughs — a patchwork of vibrant neighborhoods (Astoria, Jackson Heights, Flushing) known for incredible, affordable international food, cultural institutions, green spaces like Flushing Meadows–Corona Park and beach access at the Rockaways; reliable transit and plentiful short-term housing make it easy and interesting to call home for multiple weeks.
You’re also a short subway or LIRR ride from Manhattan’s museums, theaters and job hubs and from Brooklyn’s nightlife and waterfront parks, so weekends never run out of options.
