Lived in New York City (Queens) for over 40 years..a unique and great borough to live!!! New York City, the best and one of a kind place on EARTH!!! Charley Gonzales
Thank you for including Hampton Court in this group of selected places. I'd like to add that we have beautiful gardens and spacious apartments. The grounds and buildings are very well kept. We have historic places status too. And we are right near Kew Gardens. There is always something cultural and artistic going on here. I've been here since 2003 and I still love it.
Wow!! Great places. You were saying that a lot of New Yorkers don’t know about these communities. I’ll bet that the residents want to keep it that way.
These places were all lived by minorities in the 60 70 and 80 and early 90 until they raised prices and made sure minorities could not afford it and it just caused them to leave and leave it to the greedy want to take over everything establishment.. if you know who I am talking about
@@bernardbrown5336 No everyone who's poor is a mess; some have self-respect and take meticulous care of their surroundings and would make lovely neighbors.
Lil’ Johnny Jones: There is no need to be a racist divisive prick like the notable New Jerker, I mean Yorker, Donald Trump, and interject comments about religion that are stereotyping one religion and their supposedly parsimony. No comment about Jews were made and their is nothing to assume that the author is Jewish. GROW UP ASSHOLE PRICK. I can say that because, sight unseen, you are one. May Covid 19 get you ASAP.
I really would like to see a moving panoramic video of these neighborhoods, so that I could better appreciate how they fit into the surrounding New York City urban landscape.
Let me add Strivers Row in Harlem. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Some of the row houses were designed by Stanford White of the firm McKim, Mead & White.
My husband grew up there, and his side of the family still lives there! It is indeed a nice, quaint community. We were there visiting the family around Thanksgiving last year and we all met up at Artie's restaurant for dinner. Good times. 🙂❤
My family grew up there and Pelham bay. City island is so much fun in the summer. Even though my wife and I live on Long Island we will go there for dinner a lot in the summer. I loved it there as a kid! Brings back so many fun memories.
I live minutes away from Ditmas Park. It's my favorite walk! But, in New York style, it's amazing and almost depressing how quickly it changes to my ghetto neighborhood.
There were several Queens neighborhoods that were criminally overlooked. Addisleigh Park which is a historic black enclave filled with Tudor homes and a rich history of legendary black musicians and athletes such a Jackie Robinson, Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Louis and Miles Davis whom all used to live there. There's also Laurelton, Cambria Heights, and Douglaston all which have Old English themed homes and manicured properties that rival The Hamptons. They deserve to be mentioned as well.
Forest Hills Garden is absolutely beautiful and it has that family neighborhood vibes, but so highly priced that it's impossible to buy a house there unless you have at least $100,000 million dollars. You could buy an apartment but I find them to be cramped and narrow. Love that place. 💟
Was waiting for beautiful forest hills and middle village. Older NYers know about these places because we learned a lot of NY History back in the 70s in NYC Public Schools we also went on tons of school trips.
Bayridge Brooklyn is a gorgeous neighborhood on the Brooklyn end of the Verazzano Bridge. There are so many beautiful homes and blocks that I was surprised many times turning a corner even though I lived there 20 years. Some hidden mansions on the edge of hilly Shore Road look like castles. The most famous house is "The GingerBread house". I believe in the turn of the 20th centuries many Aristocrats lived in that neighborhood.
I knew about most of these places. When I lived in Flatbush I would go for walks in Ditmas Park. Once you cross Ocean Ave it's like a door shuts behind you.
Beautiful surprises considering how much of the city is built skywards! It would be wonderful if cities like Chicago would brighten up the poorer neighborhoods where normal citizens live with window boxes of flowers and construct light shafts to redirect the sunlight hitting rooftops to reach the streets below, to improve moods and overall happiness. Just a dream for improving things for the rest of us. Thanks again for the tour of these gems!
Along Riverside Drive in the Hamilton Heights section of Manhattan is pretty kool. You have a view of the river, the GW bridge, Riverside Park and it’s a completely different world only being one block from Broadway.
Nice video you mentioned 2 of the 3 "Garden City" style planned communities in New York: Sunnyside Gardens and Forest Hills Garden. The third is Jackson Heights
This is great, but maybe you should do a quick primer for all the non-new yorkers about the boroughs and Manhattan. I had no idea some of these places existed. Really great video, thanks!
This video was great. I've actually visited many of the neighborhoods featured. However, your next video should be about affordable housing in NYC...or lack thereof.
I grew up in an area called Parkway Village in Queens and thought I might see it on this list. It was a planned community for UN employees. They had the UN School there that we attended until 6th grade when you transferred to the Manhattan campus. Overall this was a very interesting video, definitely didn't know about many of these neighborhoods.
i loved coming across this comment -- my mother grew up there and i have many fond childhood memories of staying with my grandparents there on weekends as i grew up. unfortunately its fallen into disrepair over the years due to horrible managment -- it was a truly special place back in the day. what year did you live there?
@@ghostworld11123 nice! I've heard about it falling into disrepair, which breaks my heart. I lived there from 1974 - 1985. I have imagined a return there to live and raise my own children but unfortunately won't happen.
I don’t miss New York AT ALL! Everyone is on top of each other,everywhere you go,you’re shoulder to shoulder w/ somebody !! Smh. I live in L.A now & I love it❤️❤️
I lived in and loved Inwood. Right by the park and the river. Someplace in Manhattan where eagles are occasionally seen. The best part is that the real-estate and rental market is way below usual Manhattan prices and it has a real sense of community, with farmer's market, hikes in the park and a little nature preserve at the very tip. Upstate Manhattan here we go!
Fascinating! Overall great presentation! Knew about a few of these but not all of them. Lived on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in the early 1970s and didn't even know about Henderson Place! Familiar with the Village's architecture and had a godfather who used to live on West 13th St. in the Village. You missed an alley way of old row houses around NYU though and the fabulous architecture of Gramercy Park with it's black wrought ironed filigree balconies and banisters reminiscent of old New Orleans and Savannah, Georgia. And the gorgeous park there. Love all the great architecture of NYC, and every time I've ever been there since living there, I keep my aesthetic eye pealed for all the great architectural details on many of the buildings! Blown away by number 6, though...who would have known!? Thanks for sharing, fun video!
Great video. I lived in Sunnyside gardens until I was five when my parents had to move to make way for veterans. Also knew someone who lived in Sniffen court, very surreal walking through gates to visit. I also visited Forest Hills , Woodside Gardens, and Tutor City. These places were all rent controlled and now only the wealthy can live there a shame.
I love all the UN-KLAV YOU gave me lol...wonderful video presentation..I supposed you could expand the list to at least 25 and I would have watched all the way through...good job dear...
Really love this chan, used to live in NYc for a longtime, and you opened my eyes!!! Soooo cool, wanna go back! Was proud to know a couple of them but really embarrassed about Tudor City, that place is huge! Probably walked by it a hundred times, geez ~ lived by Dykman House in Inwood for a bit, that was a surreal place! Many blessings ans stay safe ~~
I've always thought Broad Channel was unique, with houses on stilts and boat docks. There's also a block or so of houses that overlook a pond in Crocheron Park in Bayside, Queens.
I agree. I am almost embarrass to say I had never been to Broad Channel although I grew up.in Queens. My first trip through this unique neighborhood was while driving the A-Shuttle bus after Hurricane Sandy.
I grew up literally 2 blocks from Sylvan Terrace in Washington Heights. Every Sunday like clockwork,a tour bus would pull up with people wanting to see the Jumel Mansion
My father was born (in 1915) and raised with the rest of his family in a large detached, 3 story home in Woodside. I remember going there with him as a child, maybe 8 years old to settle his mothers estate. It was a three story home with the upper floor rented out and the main floor had at least ten foot high ceilings. The basement had a coal bin for the furnace, with a coal chute on the side of the house off the driveway. Even at that time, about 1965, Woodside was a modest suburban area of large single homes. I seem to remember my father saying that the house was being sold to developers, likely to be bulldozed for an apartment building. Too bad as I can remember it being pretty nice even though it was built for the lower class like so many of these beautiful homes which once were for the lower class and therefore survived. Similar to all the attached townhouses in Georgetown in D.C.
Never visited New York City. Born raised in England, and all these house's, are all over England, make's me realise how Lucky I am. But alway's felt the New York vibe, especially in the 1920's in the Jazz era. ..L💕ve from Manchester England 💕💗💕
I love the all NYC videos! Very interesting stuff. Just as a footnote to the authors, the 1800s is the 19th century... the 18th century is the 1700s...
I"ve probably been to some of these areas and never knew about them and I'm born and raised in NY. Damn shame.....You should also cover City Island in the Bronx which I think was established back in the 17th Century ...
You could add to this list the peaceful and very interesting community of Brooklyn Heights in Brooklyn.!To me it's like walking through a fairy tale...gotta love it!!! Great video!!
I'm from Dallas Texas (3rd generation) and have never been to NY so it's all so foreign to me. I really would love to visit one day, like in the Fall. 🍂🍁🍃
I grew up in Woodside. The Phipps Garden Apartments were on 39th Avenue, from 50th, to 52nd Street. I lived on 51st Street, just up the road from 39th Avenue. We used to take walks through the grounds of the apartments, which were amazing. The apartments were almost like a castle, with garden courtyards in the middle. They were in art deco style.
The video is nice, although I was expecting to see & hear about "ENTIRE Neighborhoods" as opposed to "private complexes." Additionally, what about Parkchester (in the Bronx) & Manhattan Beach, Kensington, Greenpoint & Sheepshead Bay (in Brooklyn) or Peter Cooper Village/Stuy.Town (in Manhattan) let us not forget Astoria, Queens : this may seem fascinating to those not native to the City, but for those of us who KNOW the City it leaves MORE than a few stones "unturned" ...
D Stallworth yeah they could have added Howard Beach and Tudor Village in Queens. None of these places were expressive. Manhattan Beach has crazy big houses
I'm from one of the neighborhoods you mention, and I was glad she *didn't* mention it. Worst thing that happened to modern Brooklyn was getting featured in shows & movies as "the millennials' Manhattan".
This reminds my of Montreal. A lot of our centralized boroughs look similar to these ones (Westmount, N.D.G, Montreal West, Hampstead, and residential areas around Mount Royal).
Point of interest for any of you that happens to be a fan of the 60's rock band *_The Doors,_* just pull out your old beat up copy of their 2nd album *_Strange Days._* You will immediately recognize the _Sniffen Court_ alleyway in Manhattan ( shown in this video at 05:43 ) as being the location on that famous album cover photo. You can tell by the reliefs featuring horses on the wall at the back of the alley. The area has been beautifully maintained and now looks restored and refinished compared to the older 1968 photo on the album cover.
This was in my mentions for some reason but as a native New Yorker, you did not take into account the neighborhoods because I'll tell you right now you would not call Washington Heights "enchanting".
Right? Was was that? It was so rundown when I lived there, since been "gentrified", meaning now too expensive to live there. smh. The story of all the neighborhoods.
Washington Heights is not nice at all but if you go to the left exit on the A, Hudson Heights by the Cloisters is extremely beautiful, quiet, and safe!
Very interesting. I'm surprised she didn't mention Jamaica Estates. Beautiful large homes. Last time I saw Forest Hills the houses were pretty run down looking. But that was decades ago.
Oh no, Forest Hills Gardens is probably the best place to live in all of Queens. You couldn't buy a shack there for less than $2M, if shacks existed there.
Pal Ashford l was about to ask whens the last time you've visited. The homes on both sides of Queens blvd contains lovely homes. Where Kew Gardens merges into Forest Hills, you still cannot even park without a street permit. I too was surprised not to see Jamaica Estates mentioned, especially since thats where President Trump resided. Further North Jamaica Estates is even more beautiful.
Wel Forest Hills Gardens is a separate community from J Forest Hills. Most ppl don’t know it exists so the first hills u visited was most likely not the gardens. Forest hills currently has become very pricey in general due to the fact that the gardens r near by
#15 has beautiful gardens but the building/s themselves aren't very appealing to my eye at least. As for the others on this list, they're gorgeous. It's so nice that there's still some beautiful hidden pockets of lush greenery & historical beauty in & around New York. Thanks for the upload.
Douglas Manor in Douglaston is a ten-minute walk up the hill from the railroad station. The houses, most built in the 1920s, belong to an association that includes a shared function building, and a dock with moorings available.

alwaysmylove Exactly! I was thinking the same thing.
I'm aware of all of them, most real New Yorkers know. You left out some good ones, but thanks.
Not for long! the vandals will be around with their cans of spray paint and their minority IQs!
Definitely aware of all of these...
Reminds me of San Francisco, the middle class & poor have been priced out. Disgusting & sad how expensive New York it has gotten!
Staten Island is still reasonably priced.
Oh, boo hoo! Property values in crease and jerks like you complain. If the "poor" live there these places would be a mess!

Forest Hills Gardens.. heaven near a subway, its own security, great shops..lovely homes, big trees.
Kitten Girl i live in the gardens and i love ittttt
and some of the worst drivers ever.
Lived there 11 years and loved it, but
600 sq ft gets old
Lol when I saw the title I was like “forest hills better be in this list”
TheCommentBandit forest hills is where it’s at
Exactly!
forest hills gardens to be exact
Yup, definitely the gardens
I felt the same way that Forest Hills Garden should be in video. Since I live in Forest Hills from time I was a 14 years old.
brooklyn heights....by the promenade. Some of the best views in NYC.
And the high rents to go with it.
I love the promenade. Just hate driving through Brooklyn
Grace Court, Willow Street, Columbia Heights, the brownstone row houses of the whole area.
sooo romantic there
I really would like to see a moving panoramic video of these neighborhoods, so that I could better appreciate how they fit into the surrounding New York City urban landscape.
Yes. The still photos were nice, but I wan't to see video as well.
Let me add Strivers Row in Harlem. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Some of the row houses were designed by Stanford White of the firm McKim, Mead & White.
City Island in the Bronx although not upscale..looks like a New England fishing village...great seafood restaurants also!
Therese Martin My sister lives there, I love it there!!!💕

❤️ City Island

I was expecting City Island to be one of them.
That few seconds of music repeating over and over again was driving me mad.

Flushing, Whitestone and College Point in Queens are beautiful
Flushing, Jackson heights, and elmhurst have been destroyed. Kinda. Whitestone is awesome.

freudian slip?
"One black....."😂😹😂😅
Would have liked to have seen the insides of these places instead of just the outside!🙁
just go to zillow or trulia. there is plenty apartments for sale
High ceilings, large rooms, large closets, some have sunken living room, solid walls, hardwood floors. Typical of a pre-war building.
@@jodeytailor7462 Truthful, not crazy.
Focus on being a social climber or sell your soul for 'success' and wealth. That should get you in.
Unfortunately many of the insides have been gutted and are now 'open concept' with all detail work removed and everything painted light gray.
Nice video you mentioned 2 of the 3 "Garden City" style planned communities in New York: Sunnyside Gardens and Forest Hills Garden. The third is Jackson Heights
Tudor City was the first place I went in NYC, there was people tanning in the gardens. I fell in love 😍

Attended UNIS Parkway in the 70s. While it should have been on the list, the fact Parkway has not been maintained is probably why it has not.
I don’t miss New York AT ALL! Everyone is on top of each other,everywhere you go,you’re shoulder to shoulder w/ somebody !! Smh. I live in L.A now & I love it❤️❤️
Yeah there's not too many people in L.A. like there is in N.Y. 😒
Good luck with all the homeless in tents and the disease
You should do a video on NYC's Island or costal communities like Broad channel and the rocaways and city island and Roosevelt Island
The Villa Charlotte Bronte, in The Bronx looks amazing!
I also think Laurelton New York... there’s a small village looking area that spans a couple of blocks
You missed Convent Avenue and Hamilton Terrance in Manhattan. Beautiful brownstones and town houses but thank you I enjoyed the video

Shhhh hush
I love Pelham. North Bronx going over the bridge to the hidden gem to Pelham.
Riverdale? The only place in Riverdale that is somewhat nice is Wave Hill. The rest of Riverdale is a shit hole!

Point of interest for any of you that happens to be a fan of the 60's rock band *_The Doors,_* just pull out your old beat up copy of their 2nd album *_Strange Days._* You will immediately recognize the _Sniffen Court_ alleyway in Manhattan ( shown in this video at 05:43 ) as being the location on that famous album cover photo. You can tell by the reliefs featuring horses on the wall at the back of the alley. The area has been beautifully maintained and now looks restored and refinished compared to the older 1968 photo on the album cover.
You forgot about Tutor village in ozone park queens and some old Dutch houses in Richmond Hill as well
Gramercy Park in Mnhattan is lovely.
I can't get enough of how you pronounce enclave.
This is the magic of NYC, you can travel to different eras, worlds and countries in one day
Wow, these are all so quaint and lovely 😍
Thanks for sharing!
PS Enclave is pronounced /ON-klayv/
Wow incredible places live and raise a family 😊
This was in my mentions for some reason but as a native New Yorker, you did not take into account the neighborhoods because I'll tell you right now you would not call Washington Heights "enchanting".
Right? Was was that? It was so rundown when I lived there, since been "gentrified", meaning now too expensive to live there. smh. The story of all the neighborhoods.
Yeah I lived up there for 3 years, and got out as soon as I possibly could
Washington Heights is not nice at all but if you go to the left exit on the A, Hudson Heights by the Cloisters is extremely beautiful, quiet, and safe!
It was a specific street not all of the heights.
As a relatively new resident of Washington Heights I would say it’s definitely not that bad although it still has a little edge for sure.
Forest Hills & The Ramones!
I know where these places are. I’m a New Yorker. All beautiful.🥰😘😍🙏🏾♥️
addisleigh park in Queens- lots of Jazz history. Highland Blvd in Brooklyn.
I'm still trying to land a deal on a nice Tudor in addisleigh park.
Thank you for the Exquisite look of some of New York enchanting homes
WHAT HAPPENED TO ADDISLEIGH PARK? (UPPER MIDDLE CLASS AFRICAN AMERICAN ENCLAVE)
Everyone should live this good! Everywhere.
never happen
Watching from Sydney, Australia
Lol same
I got a palpable bad feeling for # 12. Don't know why, but it gave me a Amintyville feeling.
Very interesting. I'm surprised she didn't mention Jamaica Estates. Beautiful large homes. Last time I saw Forest Hills the houses were pretty run down looking. But that was decades ago.
Pal Ashford Not Forest Hill Gardens, its still beautiful but too pricey like everything in NY
Oh no, Forest Hills Gardens is probably the best place to live in all of Queens. You couldn't buy a shack there for less than $2M, if shacks existed there.
Pal Ashford
Agreed she didn’t mention Jamaica estates ....
those place where gorgeous...
Pal Ashford l was about to ask whens the last time you've visited. The homes on both sides of Queens blvd contains lovely homes. Where Kew Gardens merges into Forest Hills, you still cannot even park without a street permit. I too was surprised not to see Jamaica Estates mentioned, especially since thats where President Trump resided. Further North Jamaica Estates is even more beautiful.
Wel Forest Hills Gardens is a separate community from J Forest Hills. Most ppl don’t know it exists so the first hills u visited was most likely not the gardens. Forest hills currently has become very pricey in general due to the fact that the gardens r near by
#15 has beautiful gardens but the building/s themselves aren't very appealing to my eye at least. As for the others on this list, they're gorgeous. It's so nice that there's still some beautiful hidden pockets of lush greenery & historical beauty in & around New York. Thanks for the upload.
You forgot to add Jamaica Estates in Queens
Rafael Rodriguez - yes, another lovely area
Donald Trump grew up in Jamaica Estes
Lol
Douglas Manor in Douglaston is a ten-minute walk up the hill from the railroad station. The houses, most built in the 1920s, belong to an association that includes a shared function building, and a dock with moorings available.
Forest Hill though!!
Seeing the Long Railroad Station brought back memories of going to school past that bridge
Well done. I know about most of them except the last one. That was pretty awesome. I must say my city ROCKS!!.. Thanks for reminding me.
