18-40 123rd St

College Point (11356) is a waterfront Queens enclave with leafy side streets, breezy air off the East River, and sweeping views from Herman MacNeil Park and nearby Powell’s Cove Park. A proud historic streak runs through the Poppenhusen Institute and old industrial waterfront, while the vibe today is relaxed and neighborly with many multigenerational households; it’s welcoming to families and pets. Expect four true seasons, with slightly cooler summers by the water and crisp fall walks along the shore. Daily life clusters around College Point Boulevard’s mom-and-pop eateries and cafés—ranging from dim sum to Dominican comfort food—plus big-box convenience along 20th Avenue (think Target and BJ’s), local groceries, and neighborhood gyms. Outdoor time means waterfront strolls, basketball and ballfields at Frank Golden Park, and easy biking on quiet streets. Buses connect to the 7 train at Flushing–Main St, and drivers tap the Whitestone Expressway and Cross Island. Per Zillow’s Rental Manager Market Trends, recent median asking rent sits in the mid-$2,000s, with most listings ranging from the low $2,000s to low $3,000s depending on size.
