About Lindenwood

After World War II, parts of Queens went through a residential boom where co-op apartment buildings, single-family homes, and duplexes were built quickly. Thus, Lindenwood was born. Now, the community is a mix of housing stock and residents—its own little world in the middle of New York City’s largest borough. In addition to proximity to John F. Kennedy International Airport and Jamaica Bay, Lindenwood offers affordable homes compared to other NYC neighborhoods.

Around Lindenwood

Belt Parkway and Conduit Avenue circle the neighborhood of Lindenwood. Residents tend to prefer more centrally located housing options to avoid traffic. Specifically, 88th Street boasts tree-lined housing and 84th Street is home to the main transportation hub, a sort of artery of the neighborhood. If convenience is key, then proximity to this street is a must. The variety of housing types makes it possible to locate a studio garden apartment next door to a three-floor family home.

There are neighborhoods in Queens where Manhattanites and Brooklyners alike flock to try some of the best food in the city. Unfortunately, Lindenwood is not one of those neighborhoods. The few spots in the neighborhood include local favorites like Lindenwood Diner or La Villa Pizzeria, which are family-owned establishments. If you’re seeking more culinary options, head north into Flushing or Jackson Heights.

Much of the neighborhood is dedicated to large apartment complexes. Local businesses sit next to long-standing chains, and several mid-rise towers are scattered between garden apartment developments. Despite its relatively close distance to the beach, Lindenwood has almost no greenspace, except for a small playground. The neighborhood is very quiet and secluded—no tourists or loud parties to be found.

Let a Friday night movie serve as the main attraction to your evening at the Linden Boulevard Multiplex Cinemas, which offers a food court and multiple screening rooms. If the night is still young, stop by a dive bar like CJ’s in neighboring Ozone Park.

Keep it local and start the day with something from All American Bagel & Barista Company. You’ll need the energy for a 40-minute walk along Belt Parkway to Shirley Chisholm State Park. Once at the park, explore 10 miles of biking and hiking trails. Guided bird walks, fishing, and bikes for rent are all available. Make a stop at Howard Beach on your way home to soak up sunshine and relaxation.

Any commute into the city starts with the Q41/21 bus, which runs between Jamaica 165th St and Howard Beach 164 Ave. Many residents opt for a driving commute into the city, which depending on traffic, saves time. The neighborhood is a popular choice for those commuting to Rockaway Beach or Long Beach, both about 30 minutes by car. Many houses are equipped with street parking or a car garage to accommodate the lack of subway access.
