The Queens Village Post Office serves the ZIP codes of 11427 (Hollis Hills and Bellaire), 11428 (central Queens Village), and 11429 (Southern Queens Village below the Long Island Railroad Tracks). The neighborhood is part of Queens Community Board 13.
Shopping in the community is located along Braddock Avenue, Hillside Avenue, Hempstead Avenue, and Jamaica Avenue (NY 25), as well as on Springfield Boulevard. Located just east of Queens Village, in Nassau County, is the Belmont Park race track.
Close to the neighborhood are Cunningham Park and Alley Pond Park, as well as the historic Long Island Motor Parkway (LIMP), home of the turn of the century racing competition, the Vanderbilt Cup. The LIMP was built by William Kissam Vanderbilt, a descendant of the family that presided over the New York Central Railroad and Western Union; it is now part of the Brooklyn-Queens Greenway used by bicyclists, joggers and nature trail lovers.

Great community to live in.
Good
Queens village is a friendly environment for all ages as the area I am familiar with is a melting pot for all creeds. There are many shopping areas as well as constant accessibility to public transportation. The neighborhoods are made up of both older and younger generations and continue to embrace each other as well as changes in their community
Convenience and mobility makes my town very age friendly. Also there are many self own businesses that allow more comfortability when making daily businesses or simply friendly transactions.
This town of Queens Village has accessible transportation, no crime, and a quiet neighborhood.
