    "A lot of traffic on highways nearby. No public transportation except for buses. The lirr is close and so is the midtown express bus. It’s just hard to avoid traffic to go anywhere on the lie and grand central at times. I drove to Brooklyn and it takes an 1 hr and 30 minutes to go and get home from work."

    "The area welcomes dogs as long as owners curb their animal. The area is very quiet so if you have a noisy dog the neighbors may not like that you are in the area. Parks are very close and lots of space for dogs to run around in. There are a lot of small children and elderly in the area so it is important to keep your dog on a leash at all times."

    "Pretty diverse community, family oriented, nice neighborhood in queens. Pomonok residents sometimes get a bad rep but that feedback comes from people from different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. I’ve never lived in a safer neighborhood in queens. I jog at night and I know more of my neighbors than I ever have before. "
