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 N train route in our last article. Today, we\u2019re moving on to the yellow local and express Q train train route. We\u2019ll go over each of the subway stations the Q train stops at and discuss the best neighborhoods to live in on its route.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There are a total of 9 stops in Manhattan and 20 stops in Brooklyn for the Q train route. This route starts off in the Upper East side and works its way downwards until 72 St stop when it starts veering westward. The train keeps going until 57th-7 Av stop then makes its way southward until Canal Street. From there, the Q train leaves Manhattan and enters Brooklyn at the DeKalb station. The route continues southeast ward until its terminal station at Coney Island-Stillwell Av stop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In order from Manhattan to Brooklyn is a list of stops that the Q train stops at. We\u2019ve specifically pointed out stops that service both the local and express Q train. For your convenience, we\u2019ve also marked the stops that are ADA accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n You can also locate a <\/span>Q 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 Q train stops map here<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Q train starts right at the edge of the <\/span>Upper East Side<\/span><\/a> neighborhood on 96th Street and 2nd Avenue. It continues through the Upper East Side at the 86 St and 72 St stops. This large neighborhood is extremely popular with many New Yorkers given its easy access to Midtown and to the rest of Manhattan. Folks looking to commute on the Q train may want to live closer to the water as it primarily runs along 2nd Avenue. The neighborhood is filled with plenty of restaurants, bars, stores, and activities for folks looking to relax on their weeknights and weekends. Additionally, its close proximity to Central Park also makes it a great neighborhood for folks looking to take advantage of the great outdoors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Further down from the Upper East Side and closer to the west is the sub-neighborhood of <\/span>Midtown West<\/span><\/a> in Midtown Manhattan. The Q train runs through this area of Manhattan via the 57 St-7 Av, Times Sq-42 St, and 34 St-Herald Sq stations. Midtown West is currently made up of Hell\u2019s Kitchen, Columbus Circle, Theater District, Times Square, Hudson Yards, and Garment District. These neighborhoods are heavily commercialized but still renters can find a plethora of great apartments to rent from various luxury apartment complexes, condos, and coops.<\/span><\/p>\nQ train stops NYC<\/span><\/h1>\n
