Sunnyside

Courtyards, brickwork, and neighborhood streets.

Sunnyside’s housing includes apartment buildings, attached homes, and the distinctive garden-oriented planning of Sunnyside Gardens. Brick facades and planted spaces give many of its residential blocks a recognizable character.

Queens Boulevard is a major commercial and transit corridor through the area. The contrast between that broad avenue and the smaller surrounding streets is central to the neighborhood, where building layout and shared or private outdoor space can shape the experience of a home.
