A Rare Kind of New York Living in Forest Hills

At ARC Residential, finding a home goes beyond square footage—it’s about how you live day to day. Forest Hills offers one of the most refined and balanced lifestyles in Queens: storied, lush, and exceptionally well-connected.

Positioned between the massive greenery of Flushing Meadows and Forest Park, Forest Hills is a masterclass in urban planning. From the world-famous private enclave of Forest Hills Gardens to the bustling retail of Austin Street, it is a neighborhood that feels like a quiet suburb without sacrificing the pace of New York City.

What Defines Forest Hills

At the center is Forest Hills Gardens, a picturesque community inspired by English garden cities. Residents enjoy private streets, Tudor-style architecture, and a level of quiet rarely found within city limits.

Beyond the gardens, the neighborhood delivers where it matters:

• Transit Access: Express subway service via the E, F, M, and R, plus a dedicated LIRR station that reaches Penn Station in 15 minutes.
• Dining & Culture: The iconic Forest Hills Stadium and a high-density shopping and dining corridor along Austin Street.
• Architecture: A prestigious mix of Tudor mansions, luxury pre-war co-ops, and modern high-rise condominiums.

Why Forest Hills Holds Value

Forest Hills consistently performs because it offers a “prestige” address that is land-locked by major parks. The combination of top-tier schools, a 15-minute commute to Manhattan, and architectural consistency creates a permanent ceiling on supply, ensuring long-term appreciation.
