Queens Village New York Homes for Rent

Distinguished as one of the oldest settlements on Long Island, historic Queens Village was originally called Little Plains then Brushville after a local blacksmith. By the mid 1800s, the community was named Queens for the county in which it was located. The word "village" was added in the early 1900s to create a distinction between the borough of Queens and this historic enclave. People from a wide cross-section of cultures, religions, and nationalities have made the neighborhood their home over the decades. Homes in Queens Village are primarily a mix of single-family and two-family models. Shopping and services are available along  Jamaica, Hillside and Braddock avenues and Springfield Boulevard.
