night shift workers to live: report

If you work the night shift and live
in Queens, you’ll want to live in
either Sunnyside or Woodside,
according to a StreetEasy report.
The April 24 report found that city
residents who need to commute into
Times Square-42nd Street for their
night shift have “many practical options”
in Queens, Manhattan and the
Bronx. However, Sunnyside tops the
list, off ering a median rent of $1,985
and an average 20-minute commute.
Close behind was neighboring
Woodside, which offers a longer
commute at 30 minutes but a slightly
lower median rent at $1,900. Located
slightly further east, Corona is also
a viable option, where residents face
an average 35-minute commute and a
median rent of $1,838.
For those who work in Jamaica or at
JFK Airport — which employs approximately
35,000 people — and need to
access the Sutphin Boulevard-Archer
Avenue station, central Queens off ers a
wealth of convenient housing options,
according to StreetEasy. Briarwood
topped the list; night shift workers
there can fi nd median asking rents
of $1,725 and an average 11-minute
commute on the E train, which off ers
transfer to the JFK AirTrain.
Neighboring Kew Gardens, which
averages a 15-minute commute to the
transit hub and median rent of $1,875,
off ers a similar option.
The Queens neighborhood with the
lowest median rent to make the list
was Jamaica Estates at $1,698. It also
features the longest commute, via the
Q54 bus, at 25 minutes.
To compile the report, analysts
looked at neighborhoods with median
rents below $2,000 with an average
commute of 40 minutes or less to the
city’s major transit and night-time employment
hubs. They also considered
late-night crime statistics based on
NYPD records for 2010-2017.
