About Whitestone

Queens, New York is the most ethnically diverse 115 square miles on earth. The 7 subway line has been dubbed The International Express and has been designated a National Millennium Trail for its representation of the immigrant experience. In addition to Greek Astoria, Jackson Heights has a fantastic Little India, with great restaurants, food markets, and shopping, and Peruvians swear this is where you can get the only decent grilled chicken outside of Lima. Flushing has a large Chinese and Korean population and is home to the 1862 Romanesque Revival, Flushing Town Hall, where Flushing Council on Culture and the Arts organizes a variety of art exhibits and jazz and classical music performances throughout the year. Italians, Japanese, Colombians, Asian Indians, Puerto Ricans, Israelis, Maltese, and many other groups add exciting diversity and flavor to Queens. 

WHITESTONE
Whitestone is a neighborhood in north-central Queens (in New York City) located between the East River to the north and Bayside Avenue to the south. This is where our office, Power Realty Inc., is located. It is an ideal location for anyone searching for a scenic and tranquil place to live, where the neighbors are friendly and the surroundings are charming. In the late nineteenth-century many wealthy New Yorkers began building mansions in the area, on what had once been farmland. Rapid development of the area ensued in the 1920s, however, as trolley and train service was expanded into the neighborhood. Although this rail service ended during the Great Depression the right-of-way for it was later used by Robert Moses to help construct the Belt Parkway. Further development came with the building of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge in 1939. Today, Whitestone is a largely middle-class neighborhood comprised mostly of single and multi-family homes, garden apartment complexes and small apartment buildings. This suburban neighborhood was named for the rock at the point where tides met from the East River and Long Island Sound. Well-known residents have included Francis Lewis, signer of the Declaration of Independence, of which Francis Lewis Park was named after. Residents often flock there to see the beautiful view of the Whitestone Bridge in the evening.
