41-07 47th Avenue, Sunnyside, Queens, NY 11104

Not every New York City neighborhood has an arch emblazoned with its name. Then again, not every neighborhood is Sunnyside. This western Queens locale is much beloved for its small-town aura within the confines of a major metropolis. Bordered by Long Island City to the west, Woodside to the east and Maspeth and Greenpoint to its south, Sunnyside is reserved from the urban rush but maintains simplified access to it via any Manhattan-bound 7 train. Most homes on Sunnyside’s tree-lined blocks reside within three-story or six-story brick apartment buildings. In the most northern reaches of the area, the historic Sunnyside Gardens is one the country’s first planned communities, sporting garden city movement-inspired residences built around courtyards, mews, and a secluded three-acre park.
