What are the boundaries of Forest Hills Gardens?
I know that the area is south of Queens Blvd and around 71st ave but what are the boundaries north, east, and west?
I really want to know where does Forest Hills Gardens end and the regular Forest Hills begin? Thanks.

Forest Hills is bordered to the north by Rego Park and Corona; to the east, by Flushing Meadows Park, the Grand Central Parkway, and Kew Gardens; to the west, by Middle Village and Glendale; and, to the south, by Forest Park.
The northern border of Forest Hills runs along the LIRR Main Line tracks and Burns Street, Dartmouth Street and Herrick Street to the west; Union Turnpike to the east; Kessel Street, Roman Street and Harrow Street to the south.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck

The boundary for Forest Hills Gardens is:
- the LIRR tracks on the north side.
- Union Turnpike on the east side.
- 69th Avenue to the west.
- Various streets to the south such as Dartmouth Street, Herricks Avenue and Kessel Street.
The boundaries to the south are less clear, but you can tell when you are in the Gardens when you see dark green-colored street signs and warning signs not to park on the streets. (The streets are privately-owned and parking is allowed only by permit, and it’s strictly enforced.)
It’s a tiny area compared to the rest of Forest Hills.
