I somehow missed the Tour De Crap in Flushing. Until I was 4, we lived on Sanford Avenue; from then until I was 17, we lived on Beech Avenue. Not in the area shown – that’s the eastern, more suburban part of Flushing. We lived Near Main Street and Kissena Boulevard, roughly 140th to 142nd Street, in western, downtown Flushing. Not much prettier, but at least there were no McMansion-wannabes.

AKA a rowhouse. $1,700,000 within a block of Chez__B.
I think I saw some nice space behind some of those rowhouses or did I hallucinate that?
A typical NYC lot is 100 feet deep, a typical NYC rowhouse is 45 to 55 feet deep. So, yeah, nice rear yards.
That’s terrific! I just happen to have 2 million dollars lying around!
Tell it to get off its ass and do something.
