Downtown Flushing, yes, but colloquially people often refer to a much larger area surrounding it as Flushing as well with sub-neighborhoods like Murray Hill and Linden Hill. Just like how "Jamaica" is used to denote large swaths of Southeast Queens, "Flushing" is used to denote much of Northeast Queens, probably both a long-standing remnant of time when they were each one of the five Townships of Queens County.
