About this Neighborhood

Fresh Pond is a name in transition. Wikipedia describes it as a small neighborhood in Queens, separated from Juniper Valley by cemeteries, now considered part of the surrounding neighborhoods of Maspeth, Middle Village, Glendale and Ridgewood and no longer referred to by the name Fresh Pond. It was originally named for two freshwater ponds that were filled in during the early 1900s. Whatever it is called, the retail density is real: 85 restaurants averaging 4.8, 64 grocery listings, 23 coffee shops averaging 4.8, 3 parks and 2 fitness listings. The measured metrics support that: walk score 95, median rent $1,787, air quality index 39, and no flood risk flagged. Yelp rates the local sample 4.9 across 1,480 reviews, with Buttah, YoFresh Yogurt Cafe and Nomad Cafe & Eatery at the top. Foursquare's tastes run cafe, bar, pizzeria, Latin American, bakery, Mexican, Italian and vegan and vegetarian. The thin column is recreation, with 3 parks and 2 fitness listings against all that retail.
