Douglaston

Douglaston is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Queens. Settled in 1656,  the area is framed by the lush woodlands of Alley Pond Park to the west and commanding vistas of Little Neck Bay to the north. Located in the northeast part of Queens, this neighborhood is also home to Douglaston Park Golf Course, the second busiest course in NYC.

Douglaston is proud of its long history, natural and architectural beauty, and excellent schools. It has easily become a highly desirable suburb in Queens. 

Douglaston Hill was founded in 1853 as one of the earliest suburb developments. Today the Hill section offers notable examples of turn-of-the-century architecture with an eclectic mix of Colonial Revival, Queens Anne, Mediterranean and Tudor Revival styles as set on ample lots.

Douglas Manor was another planned suburb development established in 1906.  One of the unique features of this subsection is Shore Road, a lightly traveled waterfront drive that serves as a promenade for neighbors. Douglas Manor is now a New York City landmark with historically noteworthy houses including the Cornelius Van Wyck farmhouse featuring original hand-cut moldings, hand-hewn beams and shingles, and wide plank floors which date back to the colonial Dutch residence built circa 1735.

Douglaston Park is a residential community of single-family homes that sits between the Long Island Expressway and Northern Boulevard. Private houses run in design with Colonials, ranches, and Capes. Here you can visit the Alley Pond Environmental Center.
