Modeled after an English botanical garden; Kew Gardens is a charming residential neighborhood with a mix of Tudor and Colonial style single family homes, mid-rise apartment buildings, co-ops and condos. This middle to upper middle class neighborhood boasts lots of green spaces and a serene ambiance, without any of the urban buzzing synonymous with Manhattan. Local cafés, restaurants, cultural centers and nightlife cater to an eclectic mix of residents, including young professionals, multi-generational Jewish families, and Irish, Russian, Caribbean, South American, Chinese, Indian, Korean and Japanese immigrants.
