Living in Hillcrest
Hillcrest is a hilly, diverse neighborhood in central Queens, bordered by Jamaica Estates, Kew Gardens Hills, Fresh Meadows and Briarwood, roughly around Union Turnpike and Highland Avenue. It's a quiet, residential mix with a notably international population, including Caribbean, South Asian, Chinese and Latino communities.
One of its real draws is transit: the F train runs along Hillside Avenue at 169th and 179th Streets, and the E and F meet at Union Turnpike-Kew Gardens nearby, with Q44, Q20 and Q25 buses filling in the gaps. Housing is a mix of detached single- and two-family homes, brick attached houses and some apartment buildings, on streets that rise and fall with the neighborhood's namesake hills.

Hillcrest is an active, diverse central Queens market where solid subway access along Hillside Avenue supports steady demand across sales and rentals.
