Like other New Yorkers, you\u2019re likely utilizing the city\u2019s public transportation on a daily basis to get around New York City. One of these options includes the subway system, which runs through the different parts of the city, from the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, to Brooklyn. Folks who need to commute daily to work will often choose to live in a neighborhood that has an NYC subway stop that directly connects to work. During the last few months, we spent time going over the various train routes and neighborhoods along those particular subway lines and covered the M train route in our last article. Today, we\u2019re moving on to the light green local and express G train train route. We\u2019ll go over each of the subway stations the G train stops at and discuss the best neighborhoods to live in on its route.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There are a total of 2 stops in Queens and 19 stops in Brooklyn for the G train route. This route starts off at Court Sq in Queens. It\u2019ll go one more stop at 21 St, then exit Queens and cross over Newtown Creek to Brooklyn and arrive at Greenpoint Av. From there, the G train makes its way southeast until Myrtle Willoughby Avs. It then switches direction towards the southwest until Hoyt-Schermerhorn. From there, the route goes straight south, until Carroll St, then turns southeast again until its terminal station at Church Av.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In order from Queens to Brooklyn is a list of stops that the G train stops at. We\u2019ve specifically pointed out stops that service both the local and express G train. For your convenience, we\u2019ve also marked the stops that are ADA accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n You can also locate a <\/span>G train stops map in PDF format<\/span><\/a> directly on the MTA\u2019s site. Alternatively, you can read through a <\/span>text format of the G train stops map here<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Starting in Queens, both stops of the G train are located within the sub-neighborhood of <\/span>Hunters Point<\/span><\/a> in Long Island City. This sub-neighborhood is home to a large number of housing developments, many of which are still undergoing development. Along with world-famous institutions such as the MOMA PS1, Hunters Point is also home to the Hunters Point Historic District. Residents of the neighborhood will get to enjoy the amazing waterfront views from the Gantry Plaza State Park. The park comes equipped with basketball courts, a dog run, and some great spots for picnicking. Not to mention, a glimpse at the Long Island City Pepsi Cola Sign up close and personal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Right across Newtown Creek from Hunters Point is the first neighborhood we\u2019ll embark upon in Brooklyn, <\/span>Greenpoint<\/span><\/a>. This neighborhood has grown substantially in popularity over the past decade or two, which is surprising, given that there are fewer transportation options other than the G train, the ferry stop at India Street, or the few bus lines that run through the neighborhood. However, plenty of commuters love living in Greenpoint. The neighborhood\u2019s unique nightlife, cozy cafes, and boutique stores offer a variety of entertainment options for its residents. Folks who are interested in visiting the neighborhood can access it via the G train at the Greenpoint Av and Nassau Av stations.<\/span><\/p>\n Most renters are well aware of the following neighborhood. <\/span>Williamsburg<\/span><\/a> has been covered before in our best neighborhoods series, but we\u2019re listing it again today because it is one of the larger neighborhoods that the G train runs through. The G train runs through central Williamsburg along Union Av. This part of Williamsburg is more residential but still has access to plenty of commercial businesses especially around Grand Street and Metropolitan Avenue. Commuters can access Williamsburg through various stop options, including Nassau, Metropolitan Av, Broadway, and Flushing Av.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nG train stops NYC<\/span><\/h1>\n
