Kids art: Patterns of Power

Corona, in central Queens, has a lively, close-knit feel shaped by long-standing immigrant communities, family-run shops, and standout Latin and Asian food along Roosevelt Avenue and around Corona Plaza. Flushing Meadows–Corona Park is a major everyday amenity, with paths, lawns, and cultural destinations like the Queens Museum that make it easy to step outside for a walk when the air turns a bit cooler. Many residents also like being near Citi Field and the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center for games and events without needing a big trip.

Getting around is straightforward, with the 7 train running through the neighborhood and frequent buses connecting to nearby transit hubs, Jackson Heights, Flushing, and beyond. Drivers and frequent flyers appreciate the quick reach to Grand Central Parkway and LaGuardia Airport, while cyclists and walkers benefit from the park’s open space nearby. Housing is varied, ranging from brick apartment buildings and co-ops to multifamily homes on quieter side streets, offering options for renters, buyers, and sellers who want Queens convenience with an active street life.
