I live in Queens for many years. Flushing, Fresh Meadows, Bayside and Forest Hills have many Asians / Chinese people. If you will be heavily relying on the public transportation, Flushing and Forest Hills are good choices. If you want your kids to study in a good school district, then you may want to consider Bayside, Little Neck and part of Fresh Meadows areas. Hope that helps.
多謝你的幫助及提供議見,我想選擇Bayside, Little Neck ,part of Fresh Meadows areas and bayside.想請問這些地方的租金是否很貴及有邊間好的中小學呢? Forest Hills是否很多黑人呢?邊度多白人呢?有邊間Agent 好及可否給該Agent 的Website 比我?
I believe the rent is around $1200 and $1800 range for a 2 to 3 bedroom house in Bayside, Little Neck and Fresh Meadow (白人and Asians neighborhood). I personally don’t think Forest Hills has很多黑人, however that area definitely lives with many people in different nationalities. Since Forest Hill is very close to Manhattan, commuting to the city is really convenience. If you concern about黑人, you may not want to live in Jamaica / Far Rockaway areas. I don’t have any agent contact info, but you can search in Chinese Newspaper or Craigslist.com. Most of中小學 in school district 26 are pretty decent, you can go to the link below and do some research http://www.schooldigger.com/go/NY/district/00099/search.aspx
Thanks for the offer to 批八字, but I don't want to take up your time.
There is no subway to go directly to those 3 cities. However, you can always take bus and transfer to subway. 私家車 is a big plus but not a must. Cardozo and Bayside High School are great schools. I don’t know much of elementary schools there but was told ps173 and ps188 are very good schools as well.
路過搭訕... :)
2個區都有好有壞...好depends on 你嘅location.. 同小朋友年紀... 高中--我反而揀brooklyn, 因為3大特殊高中喺brooklyn/ close to Manhattan, Citywide Gifted and Talent school就喺Manhattan 嘅lower east side 近FDR exit 5... 小朋友叻, 入得到, 住Brooklyn返學易啲..
小朋友細個, Queens -zone 25-26...近so cloudy 家都好正!!
我自己就住staten island. 返Manhattan 近過好多Brooklyn地方出去...因為直上BQE公路...
大女返citywide gifted school, 細仔喺staten island 返daycare which open 7am-7pm..
其實new york 多chinese 巳算好小小.... 南部中部情況返而仲令人担心... 好多時, 只係中國人行路頭dup dup... 自覺差過人咋... 大家都係平起平座嘛....

Dear socloudy
多謝你的有用知料,使我明白了很多,其實你喜不喜歡住美國紐約呢?我覺得這裡的屋很舊又很貴租,有不少人是白鴿眼,很會看人低,若果不為了子女讀書,真不會過來美國,
想問下Queens and Brookyln 那處學校好些?
我喜歡住紐約ah…住了20+ years la. My friends, my family and my job are all here… I’m not too familiar with Brooklyn schools but my hubby told me that Dyker Height is a good school district in Brookyn. In my opinion, 白鴿眼,看低人 can be a worldwide thing (not just in US or NY). As long as I do my shares, I rarely concern how others feel about me. Like Nillie said, NY has lots of Chinese, you don’t have to worry too much about it.
Hi Iris,
I don’t think it’s Chinese 看低Chinese, but店員態度惡劣 is true. They want everybody to act as quickly as possible so we don’t block the lines. I believe some of Chinese supermarkets require to count on the # of customers they have served for the day. Of course they want to have more head count… Although I don’t agree with their 態度, but I can understand the reason behind it…
Well, I don't like to live close to Chinese, because... it is equal to "dirty neighborhood" in Common sense here.. as area like Mongkok "women street" or YauMatae Temple street...
Therefore, I am happy to stay in Staten Island, which I can keep my living style like in Melbourne, Australia where I came from.
hum.. people in NY may not agree with me, but have to be fair if they did or currently live in Staten Island at well.
For me, I drive everyday, because of my job, also because my daughter studies in Manhattan.
Same as Queens and Brooklyn, we have good and bad neighborhood. And average rent is about 1/4 cheaper than in Queens or Brooklyn, because we have a tool at the bridge. However, that is what I like.. so all those troublesome people or young teenagers will not choose Staten Island to be the target. And we have relatively less crime than other boro-- (if we don't count the hate crime to those Mexican) at St. George which I will not go there by myself.
I live at Old Town, only 3 Asian families in whole neighbourhood, you can also ask So Cloudy.. it is so lovely here. Our house at dead end, no alternative parking, no meter, so you can park anywhere and people here all obey the rules.
Most are White, no black no spanish.
our neighbourhood with no rat, no cockroach...
well.. my daughter learns about cockroach at school.. as she has never seen one before she was 6, and her classmates ran away that time when they found one at the school trip in Brooklyn.. but she didn't know what it was.. so her teacher taught her what cockroach is.. and teacher also acknowledged Amanda's classmates that Amanda lives in Staten Island, so she may not know what that is. Well.. I have to say.. our neighbourhood is very clean, but not everywhere in Staten Island.
3 Asian families.. me, another from China Canton area and one from Korea.
We had PS 48, almost the best PS zone school in our island. IS with good reputation as well.. but as my girl can get into the school in Manhattan, so we let her go.
Transport- we have express bus to Manhattan. about 1-3 min each at 6am-9am. from my home to Manhattan midtown is about 35-45min.
from 8:30am.. will take an hour because of the traffic.
Bus to Brooklyn 8Ave as well or to 86th Street (2 different Chinatown in Brooklyn).
we have train, and we have ferry to Manhattan which is free transportation to Manhattan(30 mins like from Central to Tsimshatsui).
Well, I just get used to drive.. the wheels are my legs.
If you don't know how to drive or if you want to shop at walking distant.. (chinese groceries).
then, you have to pay high rent.., usually crown, air not fresh and room is so small... that is my feeling.. like 8thAve, 86th street, Ave U (3 brooklyn Chinatown). or Manhattan Chinatown at lower east side or Flushing close to Main street.. in Queens.
If you want better quality of life, then you need to commute.. well.. Fish and bear's palm... that depends on what you need.

Dear Nillie_Mami
你好!多謝你的意見
其實我對new York所知無幾,我想問下staten island 好唔好住?交通是否方便,有無地鐵?租金貴唔貴呢?治安好唔好呢?學校怎樣呢?我真係很想知。
