    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.

    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. 💟

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    • @bellarue3065
      @bellarue3065 4 года назад +3

      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.

    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.

      High ceilings, large rooms, large closets, some have sunken living room, solid walls, hardwood floors. Typical of a pre-war building.
