In Flushing, Queens one of the last older homes from 120 years ago sits next to a huge condo and shopping mall complex. Behind the home is LIRR tracks leading over the Flushing River which is just off to the right.
Flushing, even though it’s very far from Manhattan, is very densley populated and is falaways lush with new and recent redevelopment, always growing. Thus, the very last single family homes close to the Flushing River, are almost entirely gone.
