Sunnyside

LOCATION

Sunnyside is located in Western Queens. Sunnyside lies north of Long Island Expressway / Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and south of LIRR tracks.

CHARACTER AND FEEL

Sunnyside is one of the major "gateway" neighborhoods and as such, it is very heavily trafficked with cars going to and from Manhattan. Congestion and lack of parking are two perennial concerns.

The area is filled mostly with similar-looking five- and six-story buildings built in the 1930's.
