The video is based on the numbers (stats) not based on aesthetics, crime, or opinion. The truth is the neighborhoods on the list (10 thru 1) are all predominately working class neighborhoods. Black communities are like no other racial group's community. In Black communities you can literally have a surgeon living next door to someone who receives government subsidies. This phenomenon is primarily due to the systematic racism. Let's be mindful not to feed into the negative stereotypes about our neighborhoods. Contrary to what we are always shown, good people and love can be found in all Black neighborhoods--those are the things that truly make a community rich.
Definitely not opinion or much of anything else. Not even based on black Americans but blacks people from other parts of the globe. This list is used to make black Americans believe there’s actually good things happening in these locations regarding them and they’re not.
Black surgeons living next to people on public assistance in New York City. That's the funniest thing I've heard in a while. Blacks making high six figure salaries don't live in gang infested neighborhoods w/poor schools. Please stop.
Very True! Ive seen studies regarding how professional well to do blks could be identical on paper with ppl that are melanin deficient and are still shown properties in crime ridden areas.
There’s absolutely nothing glamorous about Jamaica, Hempstead and Springfield Gardens. The only places on this list that I would live in is Cambria Heights, Rosedale and maybe a few parts of Elmont..note that these places are more middle class than affluent. The nice part of St. Albans is called Addisleigh Park but it’s very small. I think Wheatley Heights, Baldwin, North Valley Stream and Lakeview out on Long Island are way better options than this entire list. These are all middle class. There are no truly rich AA areas in NY.
Regardless & even if so excluding Lakeview (west hempstead), Wheatley heights and Baldwin ... the top 5 including north valley stream are within 10-15 min (driving of each other).
Uhm Flatbush is actually nice, so the list is on point. Every area has its nice sections and crappy parts. If you don’t live here now, it’s impossible to compare from 5 to even 10years. Jamaica has its section. By the LIRR is horrendous but property prices will be insane nonetheless and there will be affluent people who want the ease of commute to travel easily.
I was raised in Cambria Heights. We moved there when the neighborhood was transitioning from a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in the early 1970’s. My parents lived there 35 years. I’m glad to see it made the list. It really was a wonderful place to grow up.
I grew up in Cambria Heights and it was a great place to raise a family. Very close knit and many kids knew each other through the Cambria Heights Sports Association. I remember the parades that the little leagues had in Linden Blvd. GOOD TIMES
This video is a whole mess with random sky views that don’t even match the actual neighborhoods on the street level. I am born and raised in Brooklyn and the first chance I get I’m out, I’m done with this whole country.

There's a little mall nearby called Baychester Mall, the Bronx Zoo & Botanical Gardens. It's mostly West Indian w/tons of black owned businesses in the area. The *New York Times* wrote an article about that área of the Bronx a while ago (Baychester/ Allerton/ Pelham Gardens/ Etc.) Don't listen to these naysayers that can't even master the English language and are clearly not middle or upper class blacks.
Keep in mind it is saying the TOWN of Hempstead, not the VILLAGE of Hempstead. There is a difference and the Town includes Baldwin/Baldwin Harbor, Elmont, the Valley Streams and Lakeview, with parts of Uniondale, Freeport and Roosevelt. It also is about zip codes, not necessarily a whole community.
These zip codes only being emphasis to move you out so they can gentrification the rest of the area to put their in An edifice may look undesirable however when you look inside these family's homes they are representation mansions and fabulous historical work edifying that apartment .

@@arvernettahenry8435 Black people have been living in/moving these areas for decades, if not over a century. So, these areas aren’t new and a lot of them are still in NYC.
They picked and chose which stats to use though. The population of the Village is 47% African American, not the the entire town (17%). The population they used was 58,000 to represent the village when the town has 900,000 in total. All of the amenities mentioned are sprinkled across other helmets in wealthier areas minus Hofstra.
I'm a Native New Yorker. Lived in every borough of New York except Staten Island and NONE OF THESE WERE QUALITY. Most are straightforward HOOD MINDSET, with a SPRINKLING OF AFFLUENCE.

Yes, you are ON POINT...this little infomercial is DEFINITELY inaccurate...ppl. from Bklyn and Queens will tell you this. This is my HOME too!!! So they need to take this "dream" down or revise it better than this what's being view...SORRY
I'm Long Island guy and I saw Hempstead village on this list . I knew right way these people with this channel , never been to Queens or Long Island. The elite wealthy blacks of Long Island live : New home section of Amityville, Baldwin & Baldwin Harbour, Dix Hills, some Live in Garden City Park, Bridge Hampton is white town, but a lot of super wealthy Afro Americans live there too. The top 2 in my opinion is Baldwin Harbour and Dix Hills. Wheatley Heights nice is too. As for Hempstead village is very dangerous with the worst school district in the state of NY. Elmont is joke 🤣🤣😂 White people and Black folks moved out in early 1990's. Elmont is now a West Indian ghetto. If you think I'm lying just check Google it or TH-cam.
Jamaica is not a short distance from New York City. Jamaica is in New York City (queens). I’m sorry but I don’t think I’ll raise a family in 95% of this recommended list. I lived Flatbush and Jamaica and don’t care you repeat it. I’ll stick to LIC for now until I move across the river.
I have lived in all five boroughs of NYC. I must say that Haarlem and Bed-Stuy genuinely feel like home when I visit. Be sure to visit the amazing International African Arts Festival in Downtown Brooklyn (Vinegar Hill) from JULY 1-4 at Commodore Barry Park near the Navy Yard and Harlem Week In August. The Brooklyn Academy of Music (Fort Greene) is where the cultural and performing arts are alive and thriving. I would prefer to live in Scarsdale (Westchester County). However, NY STATE was not discussed in this video presentation.
Yeah, if they just used their usually criteria, they would have listed some other areas of Long Island and even an Upstate area or two. Again, if you look Upstate, the 13224 zip code in Syracuse is about 30-36% black(depending on who you include) and has long had a middle class black presence in the Salt Springs neighborhood(a predominantly black working/middle class area). I would look east of Seeley Road in particular and there is a park which hosts a black run little league(Inner City LL). Bethany Baptist is the 2nd oldest black church in the city and is in that area west of Seeley Road. There is some shopping nearby on Erie Boulevard East and a Salt Springs bus line to Downtown/near Syracuse University.
Thank you for being a rational thread because all of Harlem & Bed Stuy isn't a ghetto but if you let people w/poor writing skills on the comment section tell it....
Black population in Queens have a higher median income than Blacks in other boroughs, in addition Queens, is the only borough where blacks make more than Whites.
Hempstead village and Elmont shouldn't be on the list Hempstead village is super hood and gang infested. Elmont has great school district but that's about it, super ghetto and lower middle class..
Having grown up in Cambria Heights, went to school in Jamaica, lived in Rosedale and just having spent the last six years in Springfield Gardens, it’s no wonder my wife and I moved OUT of NYC. It’s amazing to see Springfield Gardens on the list because I can tell you factually that in 2022, there are still companies who will not deliver there. Cambria Heights has become an investor’s dream (buying from older people, fixing and flipping for huge profits). Rosedale is starting to decline because many of those who can afford to live there, don’t, and are choosing to move to more affluent communities. Yes in terms of homeownership, the percentage is higher and that’s because you need a car in these communities. There are buses and with the exception of the Long Island Railroad (Laurelton/Springfield Gardens, Rosedale, St. Albans, Hempstead terminal), the only zip code on this list that is closest to subways is Jamaica and this on the way to be gentrified (which is starting to happen to most of these zip codes because people are being priced out of other neighborhoods). It’s great to do a video when you try to base it on stats, but data can be manipulated and having lived in many of the areas (rented and owned), I’m happier that I have moved out of NYC.
Jamaicans, Haitians, Trinidadians, Bajans and the rest of us wherever else we maybe from, need to go back to our country and built them, not be in Babylon USA
In the first place, all of you were to build your countries but wouldn't fight for justice in your homeland and depended on the back of Black Americans because they always fighting against WS and fighting for laws that will benefit Black Americans.
I apricate the effort put into the video, with that being said, there are some corrections that need to be made. Queens as a borough is not easily accessible to get to Manhattan unless you have a car. Astoria, and Long Island City are close to Manhattan, not like the neighborhoods mentioned in the video
yea no, I've lived in hempstead for 13 years. on the "nice" side of town close to Rockville Centre, the house I recently moved out of is about 120 ft from the sign @1:36. the town is not affluent, it's 70% full of low class latinos, the high school has some of the highest STD rates in the country and the lower grade schools are in trailers and built next to projects and shit. the town taxes are insane. idk how these lists are made, but more due diligence is certainly required. there is now way in hell the avg income in hempstead is $71k, I promise you it is beyond impossible. the trick is the town of Hempstead encompasses most of Nassau County (It's basically split between town of hempstead, north hempstead, oyster bay and city of long beach) so this income figure is probably for town of hempstead which includes several rich towns like the racist garden city and old westbury. most people in hempstead (village of hempstead) are poor and on public assistance.
It said the TOWN of Hempstead, but the issue is that it used the village zip code. I also thought that there are nice parts of the southern portion of the village.
As someone who was born in Crooklyn then moved to Queens at 12 , whoever made this list has NOoooo clue as to what they're speaking about . Number 1 , Elmont & Hempstead aren't in Queens . They're in Long Island ( Nassau County ) . Blk folks now move from most of those places on this list . The places to move to would be Hollis Hills , Douglaston , Little Neck , Jamaica Estates & Addisleigh Park .
Yes. Great video. NYC is so expensive that these neighborhoods are still considered the hood where you may get shot. Eventhough families may earn excess of 200k
Sites shown were neither St. Albans nor Cambria Heights. Furthermore when I was growing up if wanted a firebomb thrown through your living room window, just purchase a house in Rosedale. Thanks for your kind accolades to my home land,but I prefer Prince George's County Maryland.
Things changed since then, as WPIX did an interview a little while ago with the lady in the Rosedale documentary. She still lives there and the income went up, as it got blacker.
Nassau County, if you move there you better be able to afforded it very expensive you get what you pay for. They have their own Police Department, Sanitation, property taxes real high.
I'm from The Bronx but have lived out of state since the late 80's. Went back last July and stayed in Brooklyn between New Lots & Linden Blvd. I felt so comfortable & at home it piqued my interest to possibly look at real estate purchases.
I love that sky view of Baisley Park and Rochdale Complex, 11434 best place to grow up as a teen. JGS , SouthSide 134 ave all Starz 🌟 , 159 st, Lost Boys, G Unite love this place just great.
Right they showing Jamaica ave Which is A 11434 Zip code That's Jamaica Queens. & Talking about Steinway St. Which is in Astoria, Long Island City. 11105 zip code.
When the end comes and the "great tribulation" begins money will have no value (Ezek 7:19-21; Zeph 1:13-18; Matt:24:3,14,21,36-39,42,44) Under heavenly kingdom rule which is Near righteous mankind will receive perfect human life forever in paradise on earth and all needs will be met for FREE!(Matt 6:9,10;Gen 1:27-30; Isaiah 65:17-25; Psalms 37:10,11,29;Rev 21:3-5)
I'm a Black Fella from Notting Hill, London, England 🇬🇧 Standards of Elegance have taken an absolute pounding on the outskirts of New York.. Definitely not inspired..
They left out quite a few zip codes(key words) that would have been better fits or they are referring to parts of these zip codes that would be better fits.
Plural is *communities* & it's *are* not is. *You* haven't gotten very far w/English grammar but black professionals should take your advice? Q. How much is a home in Flatbush Ditmas Park? Bronx Pelham Gardens? Can you afford those million dollar homes? How about the detached homes in Holliswood, Laurelton, Addisleigh Park, or the Brownstones in Harlem's Sugar Hill or Hamilton Heights. Blacks haven't what?
"Take an autum stroll through Victorian Flatbush Ditmas Park." *Brooklyn Eagle* Newcomers to NYC w/money listen to their financial advisors from reputable places like Morgan Stanley & use these references as notes. Please stop.
this was posted 2 weeks ago. Hempstead VILLAGE is NOT it. Theres cars everywhere because people are stacked up in houses and living in the apartment buildings. Pot Holes, Bodegas (sometimes doors away from each other ) on almost every corner. The schools are horrible especially the High school.. the state needs to take that over. There's parks..but if you dont like the smell of weed....don't go to the parks. some people take care of their homes and yards, but theres alot of unkempt houses around as well as alot of empty commercial buildings. they may want to differentiate Village and Town of Hempstead
Yes, the town and village are different. There are some nice outer neighborhoods in the village, but it does have a rep due to other parts of the village.
I wish they could have adjusted for cost of living, as 13224 on Syracuse’s East Side is about 33% black and has a median household income of about $62,000. Actually, the northern portion covers a predominantly black neighborhood called Salt Springs, which is generally middle class. It is an affordable area, as is Upstate in general.
Syracuse is a HORRIBLE place to live!! They have boarded up run down houses EVERYWHERE! It's like the Bronx was in the 80's. My cousin moved from the city & bought a multi-family up there. She 'thought' she was getting a 'DEAL.' MORE like a deal getting shot. The ONLY place to go is a mall & they get shot there too. Syracuse University has FREQUENT shootings as well. ABJECT poverty would be an UNDERSTATEMENT. The unemployment rate is EXTREMELY high due to MAJOR corporations moving like Carrier, Chrysler, etc. Even 8 year old kids walk around with knives & guns. A DUMP on its BEST & WORST day!
@@tarawalton6778 I don’t know what happened to my reply, but the city varies like most cities. There are other parts besides 13224 that have decent black populations that are middle class. Areas like Strathmore, the Court-Woodlawn area(north of Grant Boulevard), South Valley(south of Seneca Turnpike), Westcott, Outer Comstock; with some in other solid/nicer parts of the city. You just have to do your research and know where to look. In the suburbs, you’ll see more of us in the Liverpool, North Syracuse, Onondaga Central and Jamesville-DeWitt, with growth in other suburban school districts. So, it varies. Also, I work at SU and that isn’t true about shootings there. I’ve been there for almost 19 years. There are jobs and this is a good guide: www.cnyworks.com
On arriving to New York from Panama my parents choose to live and raise us in Harlem. When folks were leaving they choose to buy real estate and instead of flipping rented bringing more poc . As we the kids grew we were gifted a home it is wonderful for me my husband and kids to live here. Would not live anyplace else. Zip Code 10031
So glad to hear your parents invested in real estate and left their children a legacy. You all are definitely blessed. I am originally from NYC & just couldn't figure out how to get into the real estate game there. It seemed unreachable at the time so I moved. I have lived out of state since the late 80's but NYC is still a place I'd love to own real estate. After visiting last July I realized the interest is still there.
@@10472bxgirl Look Upstate too, as it can be very affordable and many of the cities are starting to revitalize the blacker and other parts areas of the cities. I’m talking not only Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany, but even in the Hudson Valley and cities like Troy, Schenectady, Utica, etc. People may not realize that the bigger Upstate cities have higher black percentages than NYC and on par with boroughs such as Brooklyn and the Bronx. Even many of the smaller cities are in the 15-40% black range. A lot of Bronx transplants too. So, don’t sleep on it.
Or Upstate. Again, the 13224 zip code on Syracuse’s outer East Side/a small portion of DeWitt(Jamesville-DeWitt SD, good btw)has a black middle class presence. The Salt Springs neighborhood in its northern portion is a mostly black, working/middle class neighborhood in that zip code.
Orange and Dutchess counties have some middle class areas with a substantial black population. Middletown is a place in Orange County I would look into.
So proud of affluent black families that are raising their kids to follow in their footsteps w/a quality education and generating wealth against all odds in a country that's still racist. Is that what you're saying?
Addisleigh Park and maybe Laurelton should definitely be on the list but idk about Uniondale. I’ve always thought of Uniondale as just a slightly better version of Hempstead
If you want to look into other parts of the state, Middletown and Beacon have generally middle class black populations. Parts of the bigger Upstate areas have some solid city neighborhoods and suburbs that could/would work(NE corner of Buffalo, outer 19th Ward/Homestead Heights in Rochester, Salt Springs and Strathmore in Syracuse, Delaware Avenue and the SW portion of Albany, parts of towns like Amherst, Cheektowaga, Chili, Gates, Greece, Clay, Salina, DeWitt, Colonie, Niskayuna, etc.).
Many of these places barely have e black Americans left in them and they’re struggling. A large percentage. These areas are foreign born and first generation blacks from African and the Caribbean predominantly.
The people leaving negative comments need to go back to grade school. English writing skills should be more important than trying to persuade rational people to take you seriously. Get your house in order first.
Very few Afro Americans live in Bronx. Lot's of Afro Latino's and other spanish live in Bronx. Also, there's wealthy Jew section in Bronx. Call Fieldston. Blacks near there prefer Harlem in Manhattan over Bronx. West Harlem section of Harlem very upscale and, brownstone home can cost between $ 4 or 5 million dollar range . They have million dollar brownstone s list here on TH-cam. Elmont & Hempstead are ghetto dump's. Long island elite Afro-americans live in. areas like : Baldwin & Baldwin Harbour, Wheatley Heights, North Babylon, South Huntington, Dix hills, Garden City Park, New Section of Amityville. Bridge Hampton is white town, but has lot of super wealthy Afro Americans living there .
Yo y’all Steinway st & astoria Blvd ain’t nowhere near Jamaica. I live in the J. Hts/E. Elmhurst/Astoria area. That’s where Steinway & Astoria Blvd. are. Careful now. Cause outside of Jamaica estates, Jamaica ain’t too great of an area ✌🏽
I have to disagree with most of this list. NY in my opinion does not have affluent Black communities, it just has affluent black individuals living amongst their affluent white counterparts. It’s not like the Atlanta or the south in general where you’ll find legitimate affluent black enclaves. Some of the towns, like Hempstead, are legitimately undesirable places to live. You used stats from the village of Hempstead but spoke of the amenities that most of Nassau county offer which, aside from Hofstra, are all outside of the village. Also, Hempstead has one of the worst school districts in NYS.
Q. How much are the Victorian homes in Flatbush Ditmas Park worth? Q. How much are the detached homes in Bronx Pelham Gardens worth? Q. How much are the Brownstones in Harlem & Bed Stuy worth? Q. How much are the detached homes in Queens Laurelton worth? Q. How much are the detached homes in Holliswood worth?
This can be some what confusing. The black ppl that are in these areas are mostly of African or Carribean heritage. They are not Foundational Black Americans.
I think you are mixing the Town of Hempstead and the village of Hempstead. The Town of Hempstead has multiple villages with multiple zip codes. The Town has a total population of 759,793 with African American's representing 17.4% totaling 132,203. The village of Hempstead has a total population of 55,113. African American's comprising 48.3% totaling 26,619. I grew up in Lakeview West Hempstead. Lakeview is an unincorporated village of predominately African Americans. West Hempstead is in the Town of Hempstead. Elmont is in the Town of Hempstead. Most of those communities in queens are on the boarder of Nassau County and the Town of Hempstead. If the Town of Hempstead were a city, it would be the 18th largest city in the country.
Exactly…Baldwin/Baldwin Harbor is another town of Hempstead area with a big black population that is middle class. Some even upper middle to affluent. Same with the Valley Streams(North, South and VS). Those are communities that come to mind along with Lakeview and West Hempstead.
I live here in new york all my life and i dont come from wealthy family working class family . Being in hempstead long island on the side i live on its working class area . Its not wealthy . Other side of hempstead is
First of all Steinway street is not in Jamaica, Queens. It's clear across town in Astoria and 2nd of all Jamaica is not just 30 minutes away from New York City, it's in New York City therefore IT IS NEW YORK CITY! So what is this ding Bat narrator talking about ?
Apologies for being outspoken. I am wondering about the standard of this video. All I can say this is New York and unfortunately if you are a Consumer with means. There is no place mentioned in this video where the Good doesn't come with the Bad.
Never live in the Bronx!!!!! Nassau county is where you want to be!!! You don't pay city taxes and is the safest place in the country... With great schools and the police do their job
Hey I'm Long Island guy. Hempstead village is gang infested, very poor and has worst school district in the state of NY. The elite blacks of Long island live: Baldwin & Baldwin Harbour, some live Garden City Park, Wheatley Heights, some live in North Babylon, New home section of Amityville, Dix Hills, Bridge Hampton is white town but has lot of super wealthy Afro Americans living there. Elmont is a joke 🤣😂😂 White people and Black folks moved out in early 1990's. Now Elmont is a West Indian ghetto.
Once u get a taste of paying $15k - 20k in property taxes I think you'll change ur tune. Nassau County is nice but those taxes are a killer and ur not even getting a lot of property.
@@jaysupreme7464 not every place in Nassau county has high property taxes... Baldwin, certain parts of Hempstead that I really nice, Cedarhurst, in elmont

Elmont is joke 🤣🤣😂 White people and Black folks moved out in early 1990's. Elmont is now a West Indian ghetto. If you think I'm lying just check Google it or TH-cam.
Many of these are legit, but there are other zip codes in NY that could have been listed.
@@ckh937610 whats your recommendation with
@@sandrafelton6322 what are some of your recommendation with transportation access
Jamaica is not a short distance from New York City. Jamaica is in New York City (queens). I’m sorry but I don’t think I’ll raise a family in 95% of this recommended list. I lived Flatbush and Jamaica and don’t care you repeat it. I’ll stick to LIC for now until I move across the river.
queens is big you can live like your in a apartment while living in a quiet suburban neighborhood
St. Albans is still pretty okay…
I don’t think the people who put the segments together aren’t from Nyc or USA..
Good for you…
I think she’s referring to Manhattan as NYC
I have lived in all five boroughs of NYC. I must say that Haarlem and Bed-Stuy genuinely feel like home when I visit. Be sure to visit the amazing International African Arts Festival in Downtown Brooklyn (Vinegar Hill) from JULY 1-4 at Commodore Barry Park near the Navy Yard and Harlem Week In August. The Brooklyn Academy of Music (Fort Greene) is where the cultural and performing arts are alive and thriving. I would prefer to live in Scarsdale (Westchester County). However, NY STATE was not discussed in this video presentation.
I’m born and raised in harlem. Bedstuy definitely feels like home even like the old harlem
Yeah, if they just used their usually criteria, they would have listed some other areas of Long Island and even an Upstate area or two. Again, if you look Upstate, the 13224 zip code in Syracuse is about 30-36% black(depending on who you include) and has long had a middle class black presence in the Salt Springs neighborhood(a predominantly black working/middle class area). I would look east of Seeley Road in particular and there is a park which hosts a black run little league(Inner City LL). Bethany Baptist is the 2nd oldest black church in the city and is in that area west of Seeley Road. There is some shopping nearby on Erie Boulevard East and a Salt Springs bus line to Downtown/near Syracuse University.
Thank you for being a rational thread because all of Harlem & Bed Stuy isn't a ghetto but if you let people w/poor writing skills on the comment section tell it....
Love ❤️ this inspirational channel!
Where’s Harlem or Bed Stuy on this list? The other neighborhoods are ok, but how did these two not make the list? I’m curious
They made a mistake in including NYC. These are absolutely run down areas. Not excellent or affluent at all.
I fought them Harlem and Bed-Stuy Where The Hood I've been the both and they both seem Hood to me
Harlem, Clinton Hill, Ft. Greene and Bed Stuy are also heavily gentrified.
Black population in Queens have a higher median income than Blacks in other boroughs, in addition Queens, is the only borough where blacks make more than Whites.
Hempstead village and Elmont shouldn't be on the list
Hempstead village is super hood and gang infested. Elmont has great school district but that's about it, super ghetto and lower middle class..
Having grown up in Cambria Heights, went to school in Jamaica, lived in Rosedale and just having spent the last six years in Springfield Gardens, it’s no wonder my wife and I moved OUT of NYC. It’s amazing to see Springfield Gardens on the list because I can tell you factually that in 2022, there are still companies who will not deliver there. Cambria Heights has become an investor’s dream (buying from older people, fixing and flipping for huge profits). Rosedale is starting to decline because many of those who can afford to live there, don’t, and are choosing to move to more affluent communities. Yes in terms of homeownership, the percentage is higher and that’s because you need a car in these communities. There are buses and with the exception of the Long Island Railroad (Laurelton/Springfield Gardens, Rosedale, St. Albans, Hempstead terminal), the only zip code on this list that is closest to subways is Jamaica and this on the way to be gentrified (which is starting to happen to most of these zip codes because people are being priced out of other neighborhoods). It’s great to do a video when you try to base it on stats, but data can be manipulated and having lived in many of the areas (rented and owned), I’m happier that I have moved out of NYC.
Absolutely correct 100%
Me too all my life
Does that make the information wrong though?
@@ckh937610 yes!
It doesn't necessarily make the information wrong. It's just that the best of New York doesn't measure up to other states.
I am so excited to hear my home zip code in the Bronx made the list. I feel so proud.
New York is alright but I do love NYC and Brooklyn is Cool!
I live in Addisleigh Park and it's beautiful. I love it here. Like a private place away from everything.
Lol. The comments got me dead. We gotta revamp the video sis!
Only Cambria Heights, Pelham & Elmont I would consider.
Yeah, there are other areas they could have considered. To be fair, some of the Queens areas are legit.
Not elmont, I wouldn’t recommend
@@dahliar410 really? I thought it was a safe neighborhood or so I’ve heard.
@@sweetneverbitter6109 It has good schools too. You have to be careful, as you may have “imposters” on here.
Actually, Pelham is a separate place from the nearby area in the Bronx they are talking about.
Jamaicans, Haitians, Trinidadians, Bajans and the rest of us wherever else we maybe from, need to go back to our country and built them, not be in Babylon USA
In the first place, all of you were to build your countries but wouldn't fight for justice in your homeland and depended on the back of Black Americans because they always fighting against WS and fighting for laws that will benefit Black Americans.
I apricate the effort put into the video, with that being said, there are some corrections that need to be made. Queens as a borough is not easily accessible to get to Manhattan unless you have a car. Astoria, and Long Island City are close to Manhattan, not like the neighborhoods mentioned in the video
I agree and Cabría Heights too. 💯
Shout out to my home town Queens NYC♐️👍
yea no, I've lived in hempstead for 13 years. on the "nice" side of town close to Rockville Centre, the house I recently moved out of is about 120 ft from the sign @1:36. the town is not affluent, it's 70% full of low class latinos, the high school has some of the highest STD rates in the country and the lower grade schools are in trailers and built next to projects and shit. the town taxes are insane. idk how these lists are made, but more due diligence is certainly required. there is now way in hell the avg income in hempstead is $71k, I promise you it is beyond impossible. the trick is the town of Hempstead encompasses most of Nassau County (It's basically split between town of hempstead, north hempstead, oyster bay and city of long beach) so this income figure is probably for town of hempstead which includes several rich towns like the racist garden city and old westbury. most people in hempstead (village of hempstead) are poor and on public assistance.
It said the TOWN of Hempstead, but the issue is that it used the village zip code. I also thought that there are nice parts of the southern portion of the village.
Nobody w/common sense is paying these people online any attention when they're buying a home for their families.
As someone who was born in Crooklyn then moved to Queens at 12 , whoever made this list has NOoooo clue as to what they're speaking about . Number 1 , Elmont & Hempstead aren't in Queens . They're in Long Island ( Nassau County ) . Blk folks now move from most of those places on this list . The places to move to would be Hollis Hills , Douglaston , Little Neck , Jamaica Estates & Addisleigh Park .
I didn’t think they said they are in Queens, but yeah, that wouldn’t be right.
Nice to see a vid on NYC...!!! 💪
... I just became a Subscriber... 👍
Yes. Great video. NYC is so expensive that these neighborhoods are still considered the hood where you may get shot. Eventhough families may earn excess of 200k
Sites shown were neither St. Albans nor Cambria Heights. Furthermore when I was growing up if wanted a firebomb thrown through your living room window, just purchase a house in Rosedale. Thanks for your kind accolades to my home land,but I prefer Prince George's County Maryland.
Yeah I saw that documentary on Rosedale when Blk ppl started moving in. Ppl can be so cruel.
Things changed since then, as WPIX did an interview a little while ago with the lady in the Rosedale documentary. She still lives there and the income went up, as it got blacker.
Nassau County, if you move there you better be able to afforded it very expensive you get what you pay for. They have their own Police Department, Sanitation, property taxes real high.
That’s usually how it works in terms of suburban areas.
Thank you for this great information! Keep up the good work “BE”. ❤️💪🏽🙌🏽🙏🏾
I remember the days when Sugar Hill in Harlem would have been at the top of the list, but gentrification has changed that.
I love Brooklyn, when I start working remotely. I’m gonna start spending my summers there
Be careful with the part of Brooklyn.. it's not that nice here..
@@ese4832 It depends on where you are.
I'm from The Bronx but have lived out of state since the late 80's. Went back last July and stayed in Brooklyn between New Lots & Linden Blvd. I felt so comfortable & at home it piqued my interest to possibly look at real estate purchases.
Great video. 😊 thank you
I love that sky view of Baisley Park and Rochdale Complex, 11434 best place to grow up as a teen. JGS , SouthSide 134 ave all Starz 🌟 , 159 st, Lost Boys, G Unite love this place just great.
Steinway and Astoria blvd are not in Jamaica
Right they showing Jamaica ave Which is A 11434 Zip code That's Jamaica Queens. & Talking about Steinway St. Which is in Astoria, Long Island City. 11105 zip code.
Dix Hills is a nice upscale community in NY
Nearby Wheatley Heights is a predominantly black and middle class community as well.

Almost deadly and mostly dreadful!
You should be ashamed for making this video! It’s nothing but false and inaccurate information
If these are the riches African American community, then we haven't gotten far. These community is barely middle class and is more like working class.
Some are "no class". This channel did NY dead a#$ wrong! 👊🏽
They left out quite a few zip codes(key words) that would have been better fits or they are referring to parts of these zip codes that would be better fits.
💯
Plural is *communities* & it's *are* not is. *You* haven't gotten very far w/English grammar but black professionals should take your advice? Q. How much is a home in Flatbush Ditmas Park? Bronx Pelham Gardens? Can you afford those million dollar homes? How about the detached homes in Holliswood, Laurelton, Addisleigh Park, or the Brownstones in Harlem's Sugar Hill or Hamilton Heights. Blacks haven't what?
"Take an autum stroll through Victorian Flatbush Ditmas Park." *Brooklyn Eagle* Newcomers to NYC w/money listen to their financial advisors from reputable places like Morgan Stanley & use these references as notes. Please stop.
this was posted 2 weeks ago. Hempstead VILLAGE is NOT it. Theres cars everywhere because people are stacked up in houses and living in the apartment buildings. Pot Holes, Bodegas (sometimes doors away from each other ) on almost every corner. The schools are horrible especially the High school.. the state needs to take that over. There's parks..but if you dont like the smell of weed....don't go to the parks. some people take care of their homes and yards, but theres alot of unkempt houses around as well as alot of empty commercial buildings. they may want to differentiate Village and Town of Hempstead
Yes, the town and village are different. There are some nice outer neighborhoods in the village, but it does have a rep due to other parts of the village.
I'm from Jamaica Queens 3:39
I wish they could have adjusted for cost of living, as 13224 on Syracuse’s East Side is about 33% black and has a median household income of about $62,000. Actually, the northern portion covers a predominantly black neighborhood called Salt Springs, which is generally middle class. It is an affordable area, as is Upstate in general.
Just to add, Syracuse does have its issues, but it’s black percentage has doubled since 1980 from about 16% to about 33%.
They’re not talking about affordable they’re talking about the affluent Black people🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️
Syracuse is a HORRIBLE place to live!! They have boarded up run down houses EVERYWHERE! It's like the Bronx was in the 80's. My cousin moved from the city & bought a multi-family up there. She 'thought' she was getting a 'DEAL.' MORE like a deal getting shot. The ONLY place to go is a mall & they get shot there too. Syracuse University has FREQUENT shootings as well. ABJECT poverty would be an UNDERSTATEMENT. The unemployment rate is EXTREMELY high due to MAJOR corporations moving like Carrier, Chrysler, etc. Even 8 year old kids walk around with knives & guns. A DUMP on its BEST & WORST day!
@@tarawalton6778 I don’t know what happened to my reply, but the city varies like most cities. There are other parts besides 13224 that have decent black populations that are middle class. Areas like Strathmore, the Court-Woodlawn area(north of Grant Boulevard), South Valley(south of Seneca Turnpike), Westcott, Outer Comstock; with some in other solid/nicer parts of the city. You just have to do your research and know where to look. In the suburbs, you’ll see more of us in the Liverpool, North Syracuse, Onondaga Central and Jamesville-DeWitt, with growth in other suburban school districts. So, it varies.
Also, I work at SU and that isn’t true about shootings there. I’ve been there for almost 19 years. There are jobs and this is a good guide: www.cnyworks.com
On arriving to New York from Panama my parents choose to live and raise us in Harlem. When folks were leaving they choose to buy real estate and instead of flipping rented bringing more poc . As we the kids grew we were gifted a home it is wonderful for me my husband and kids to live here. Would not live anyplace else. Zip Code 10031
So glad to hear your parents invested in real estate and left their children a legacy. You all are definitely blessed. I am originally from NYC & just couldn't figure out how to get into the real estate game there. It seemed unreachable at the time so I moved. I have lived out of state since the late 80's but NYC is still a place I'd love to own real estate. After visiting last July I realized the interest is still there.
@@10472bxgirl Look Upstate too, as it can be very affordable and many of the cities are starting to revitalize the blacker and other parts areas of the cities. I’m talking not only Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany, but even in the Hudson Valley and cities like Troy, Schenectady, Utica, etc. People may not realize that the bigger Upstate cities have higher black percentages than NYC and on par with boroughs such as Brooklyn and the Bronx. Even many of the smaller cities are in the 15-40% black range. A lot of Bronx transplants too. So, don’t sleep on it.
So Glad to see the Bronx on the list
BTW: Flatbush is now known as Little Haiti.
Huhhhhh????
And Laurelton 💯🥰 most of us are North American not African American
I was raised in 11434. My family moved there in the late 1960’s from Brooklyn. It isn’t the same now.
I lived in NYC for 26 years- Jamaica is not a good area to live. Also there is no Steinway St in Jamaica, thats in Astoria/LIC.
I'm sorry but, "the STATE of New York" is what the narrator stated at the beginning of this video, but for some reason we never got past the Bronx??
Right! I didn’t hear no towns in westchester or rockland county
Or Upstate. Again, the 13224 zip code on Syracuse’s outer East Side/a small portion of DeWitt(Jamesville-DeWitt SD, good btw)has a black middle class presence. The Salt Springs neighborhood in its northern portion is a mostly black, working/middle class neighborhood in that zip code.
Orange and Dutchess counties have some middle class areas with a substantial black population. Middletown is a place in Orange County I would look into.
☹️ Indeed
So proud of affluent black families that are raising their kids to follow in their footsteps w/a quality education and generating wealth against all odds in a country that's still racist. Is that what you're saying?
I wanted to do one for the richest communities in Atlanta Georgia
Been there, done that. People act like that is the only area with middle class/affluent black people.
Buckhead
Areas in College Park GA
Areas in Lithonia GA(STONECREST)
@@robleeg Isn’t Buckhead predominantly white and much of, if not most of College Park kind of hood?
Nope,you can keep hempstead..
I own the brownstone in HARLEM 5 Story 7 bedrooms 7 fireplace 3 full bathrooms 1 kitchen walk in closets Backyard ETC ETC
I know you joking about St.Albans...it very dangerous
Exactly 💯I say the same thing
This list needs to be removed. I'm losing faith in this channel. This mess is crazy!
I thought that Addisleigh Park was in St. Albans?
FOR REAL!!! LOL
Yes indeed, that's why my father packed me and my mom and headed to North Carolina where they originally came from...🤔
I appreciate the effort, but there is no way you put Hempstead and Springfield on list and leave out Addisleigh Park Laurelton and Uniondale
Laurelton is said to have the third-largest concentration of black homeowners in the nation.
Addisleigh Park and maybe Laurelton should definitely be on the list but idk about Uniondale. I’ve always thought of Uniondale as just a slightly better version of Hempstead
How you gonna mix NYC neighborhoods with Long Island neighborhoods ?
You clearly left out Canarsie in Brooklyn !
Hempstead? Good Public schools? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hempstead is beautiful.
I wish this would've specified the list is only within New York City, not the state of New York.
If you want to look into other parts of the state, Middletown and Beacon have generally middle class black populations. Parts of the bigger Upstate areas have some solid city neighborhoods and suburbs that could/would work(NE corner of Buffalo, outer 19th Ward/Homestead Heights in Rochester, Salt Springs and Strathmore in Syracuse, Delaware Avenue and the SW portion of Albany, parts of towns like Amherst, Cheektowaga, Chili, Gates, Greece, Clay, Salina, DeWitt, Colonie, Niskayuna, etc.).
11413…(Springfield Garden/Laurelton)
Many of these places barely have e black Americans left in them and they’re struggling. A large percentage. These areas are foreign born and first generation blacks from African and the Caribbean predominantly.
The people leaving negative comments need to go back to grade school. English writing skills should be more important than trying to persuade rational people to take you seriously. Get your house in order first.
My hometown is Hempstead and Jamaica🗽
This video is 90% caaaapppppppp🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In Flatbush I think she forgot Ditmas Park West.
Jamaica is NYC. Great video BTW
Jamaica? Hempstead? You've got to be joking.
Very few Afro Americans live in Bronx. Lot's of Afro Latino's and other spanish live in Bronx. Also, there's wealthy Jew section in Bronx. Call Fieldston. Blacks near there prefer Harlem in Manhattan over Bronx. West Harlem section of Harlem very upscale and, brownstone home can cost between $ 4 or 5 million dollar range . They have million dollar brownstone s list here on TH-cam. Elmont & Hempstead are ghetto dump's. Long island elite Afro-americans live in. areas like : Baldwin & Baldwin Harbour, Wheatley Heights, North Babylon, South Huntington, Dix hills, Garden City Park, New Section of Amityville. Bridge Hampton is white town, but has lot of super wealthy Afro Americans living there .
You lost me at Pelham Gardens. Nothing affluent about it
I am sorry to say that you have lost credibility with this video.
Only elmont is a good place to live! The rest of these places have shittt public schools
This list is not eighth and exact
Yo y’all Steinway st & astoria Blvd ain’t nowhere near Jamaica. I live in the J. Hts/E. Elmhurst/Astoria area. That’s where Steinway & Astoria Blvd. are. Careful now. Cause outside of Jamaica estates, Jamaica ain’t too great of an area ✌🏽
This list is just a tiny bit incorrect but mostly correct. I saw my daughters Girl Scout leader in this video. This is home.
This is not true
I have to disagree with most of this list. NY in my opinion does not have affluent Black communities, it just has affluent black individuals living amongst their affluent white counterparts. It’s not like the Atlanta or the south in general where you’ll find legitimate affluent black enclaves. Some of the towns, like Hempstead, are legitimately undesirable places to live. You used stats from the village of Hempstead but spoke of the amenities that most of Nassau county offer which, aside from Hofstra, are all outside of the village. Also, Hempstead has one of the worst school districts in NYS.
Q. How much are the Victorian homes in Flatbush Ditmas Park worth? Q. How much are the detached homes in Bronx Pelham Gardens worth? Q. How much are the Brownstones in Harlem & Bed Stuy worth? Q. How much are the detached homes in Queens Laurelton worth? Q. How much are the detached homes in Holliswood worth?
This can be some what confusing. The black ppl that are in these areas are mostly of African or Carribean heritage. They are not Foundational Black Americans.
Yall cant be serious no cap these are hoods 🤣
Pelham gardens isn’t an AA community
Right? I’m like 59% where?
They are talking about the Bronx neighborhood, not the Westchester County town.
I think you are mixing the Town of Hempstead and the village of Hempstead. The Town of Hempstead has multiple villages with multiple zip codes. The Town has a total population of 759,793 with African American's representing 17.4% totaling 132,203. The village of Hempstead has a total population of 55,113. African American's comprising 48.3% totaling 26,619. I grew up in Lakeview West Hempstead. Lakeview is an unincorporated village of predominately African Americans. West Hempstead is in the Town of Hempstead. Elmont is in the Town of Hempstead. Most of those communities in queens are on the boarder of Nassau County and the Town of Hempstead. If the Town of Hempstead were a city, it would be the 18th largest city in the country.
Exactly…Baldwin/Baldwin Harbor is another town of Hempstead area with a big black population that is middle class. Some even upper middle to affluent. Same with the Valley Streams(North, South and VS). Those are communities that come to mind along with Lakeview and West Hempstead.
how come bayside Queens wasn't included?
So much is wrong with this list. So many untruths
I live here in new york all my life and i dont come from wealthy family working class family . Being in hempstead long island on the side i live on its working class area . Its not wealthy . Other side of hempstead is
Further every segment references sights and amenities from ither zip codes and therefore is meaningless.
First of all Steinway street is not in Jamaica, Queens. It's clear across town in Astoria and 2nd of all Jamaica is not just 30 minutes away from New York City, it's in New York City therefore IT IS NEW YORK CITY! So what is this ding Bat narrator talking about ?
Am I supposed to be impressed with enclaves? Show me a viable, respected, feared brown nation! Black Wallstreet was also an enclave!
In short, this is a TERRIBLE list!
Richest communities or neighborhoods?? Communities have EVERYTHING THEY NEED - a neighborhoods have things they want
None of these places are affluent AT ALL. These are middle income neighborhoods with the average family making 58k yearly.
Not true, but they could of included some other areas.
Not true! If the average income was 58k, it wouldn’t be any homeowners in those neighborhoods. 100k+ average family income is correct.
Also, they listed the median household income for each of the zip codes.
Few Multifamily houses
Apologies for being outspoken. I am wondering about the standard of this video. All I can say this is New York and unfortunately if you are a Consumer with means. There is no place mentioned in this video where the Good doesn't come with the Bad.
That is the case with many city and even some suburban areas. That isn’t exclusive to NY.
That's anywhere in the world not just NY. Where there are people there is good & bad.
Nope.. too expensive for the amount of house you can get.
Never live in the Bronx!!!!! Nassau county is where you want to be!!! You don't pay city taxes and is the safest place in the country... With great schools and the police do their job
property taxes here will blow your fucking mind lol.
Hey I'm Long Island guy. Hempstead village is gang infested, very poor and has worst school district in the state of NY. The elite blacks of Long island live: Baldwin & Baldwin Harbour, some live Garden City Park, Wheatley Heights, some live in North Babylon, New home section of Amityville, Dix Hills, Bridge Hampton is white town but has lot of super wealthy Afro Americans living there. Elmont is a joke 🤣😂😂 White people and Black folks moved out in early 1990's. Now Elmont is a West Indian ghetto.
@@pureblackfire511 that is definitely some of the bad sides of Long Island... But those are usually where the best areas are
Once u get a taste of paying $15k - 20k in property taxes I think you'll change ur tune. Nassau County is nice but those taxes are a killer and ur not even getting a lot of property.
@@jaysupreme7464 not every place in Nassau county has high property taxes... Baldwin, certain parts of Hempstead that I really nice, Cedarhurst, in elmont
Where’s Harlem?!?!?!?!
