Reply to comment by doctor_van_n0strand in These are the most popular neighborhoods in New York City—and the average rent among them is $3,377 by jhovudu1

How has Forest Hills changed over the past 10-20 years? When I lived in Queens, Forest Hills was a predominantly middle class, upper middle class, and even wealthy (Forest Hills Gardens). A lot of blue collar jobs and also working class families and also Western European families. Has it changed at all? Do wealth folks who want to stay in NYC still live in the Gardens?

I feel like it's more or less the same, but probably leaning wealthier simply bc more people know about it now, especially ever since the opening of the stadium has gotten out-of-towners to visit regularly. I remember walking on austin st on a concert night and overhearing a bunch of rando's saying things like, "wow this place is so cute should i move here??"
