Queens is the easternmost of the five
boroughs of
New York City, the largest in area, and the second-largest in
population. The borough of Queens has been coterminous with
Queens County since 1899.
The differing character in the neighborhoods of Queens is reflected
by its diverse housing stock ranging from high-density apartment
buildings, especially prominent in the more urban areas of central
and western Queens, such as Astoria, Long Island City, and
Ridgewood, to large free-standing single-family homes, common in the
eastern part of the borough, in neighborhoods that have a more
suburban layout like neighboring Nassau County, such as Little Neck,
Douglaston, and Bayside.
