Sunnyside blends the planned garden-city streets of Sunnyside Gardens — one of America's first planned communities — with the energy of Queens Boulevard and Skillman Avenue. The neighborhood's landmark arch at 46th Street welcomes residents home, and its cafe-lined avenues give it a relaxed, neighborly feel.

With the 7 train running through its heart, Sunnyside is a favorite among renters who want a short commute and a genuine neighborhood atmosphere.
