Discussion about
How the neighborhood of Queens, specifically the areas of Astoria & East Emhurst, have changed since the 90s due gentrification and such. I was born im and raised in Queens and still to this day live here, but I want to know how the neighborhood has changed from mid to late 90s up until now through the eyes of other Queens kids.

I grew up in Glendale and am amazed that Ridgewood and Bushwick have become "in" places to live. Whoda thunk???

I totally agree! I lived in jackson Heights all my life and now I'm watching how the ugliest houses in Elmhurst are skyrocketing to 600K+ and same for Jackson Heights. I wonder where all the people who will have to move out will go. Might be a good time to buy before J. Heights and Elmhurst turn into LIC.
