Union St
"625 Union St. Brooklyn"
I hadn't been back to N.Y, in 16 years. This street was just fine for me. Not that busy with foot traffic. Forget about parking a car though. You leave and you'll loose your spot, really hard to find another. It's a good walk to the main shopping streets. But they offer everything. There was a geat small grocer on the corner. Oranges were cheaper than here in Fla. The houses right around the corner on 6th Ave. are very nicely kept. I felt very safe walking, even at night. Locals are very nice people. I saw quite a few singles, bars in the area.
111th St
"The World' Fair & location"
I am including this street because of location! It is the subway exit for the "old" Shea Stadium, USTA Arthur Ashe Tennis Stadium, and Flushing Meadow Park, home of the 1961 & 64 World's Fair. The street is nice and wide with available parking. Pretty clean and well kept. Mostly residential. And with the park, there's trees and a good amount of green. I'd suggest this block for singles because of it's location.
Whitestone Expy
"Whitestone Expressway and 3rd Ave. WATERFRONT RESIDENTAL!"
This is a great Queens Street! There is city acess via Whitestone Expressway. It lines Francis Lewis Park. The homes are much larger. And a little off to Powells Cove, much more impressive, Some homes have their own boat docks. The area is a higher income bracket. The view is also of a hop, skip and jump to the Bronx. Street is more quiet and maintained than the center of Whitestone.
Kissena Blvd
"Busy, Varied and Educational"
A very busy and at parts a very loud street. Where Kissena Blvd. and Main Street meet is a very congested area. There is an extremely commercial area that includes many shops and places to eat. It is also a city bus route. A Library is also on the street. There are two main properties on the Blvd. Flushing Hospital and Queens College. There are residential areas along the Blvd. Some of them are very nice. Rent is average for NYC. I would pick this as one of the best main streets in Flushing.
Main St
"The Street with Everything"
Main Street, Flushing, NY. A full mix of all Ethnicicities. Food and Resturants of all types of flavors. Take-up and delivery available also. Movie theatres. Every type of business needed. Large stores and Mom and Pop businesses. There is a subway stop and bus routes. The street is crazy busy. Rush hour is not the time for shopping. Traffic at that time is also horrendeous. I'd suggest taking the bus, subway or parking on a side street. There is very little residental property. Rents are very high.

"124th Street Residental"
124th St. and cross St. 22nd Ave. The paking is terrible. It isn't a very wide street. But, in both directions you are able to walk to a public bus stop. The route runs through College Point into Flushing. One block away is St. John's Lutheran School and Church. I had attended both. One of the close bus stop's on College Point Blvd.
5th Ave
"Historic Poppenheusen Avenue"
Poppenhusen Avenue is a street that runs through College Point to McNeil Park. The street is named after Conrad Poppenhusen, the founding father and benefactor of College Point. The highlight of Poppenhusen Ave. is McNeil Park. The park has a playground, plenty of green grass and tress for picnics. A waterfront walking, jogging or bicycling path. There is a ballfield and in the winter a great place for sledding!

"The hub of College Point"
College Point Blvd. is the Main Street of College Point. This is where most stores including grocery, banks, laundrymats, resturants and the Public Library are located. From the start of the Blvd. at The Whitestone Expressway to the end, McNeil Park there is a change from commercial to business properties to the green of the park.
