Diverse and historic, South Corona is the part of the neighborhood from 46th Street down to the Long Island Expressway. Hugged by Flushing Meadows Corona Park and Elmhurst, South Corona is full of beautiful homes and culture.
Corona got its name because the people who developed it thought it was the crown of Queens. With a history of baseball and racing that dates back to the 1850’s, it's easy to see why this neighborhood was popular.
By the 1940’s, baseball and racing were no longer part of the Corona lifestyle. That said, housing was affordable, spacious, and quiet. These things made it popular with black activists, artists, and athletes.
The latter half of the 1900’s also saw an influx of immigrants from all over the world, making Corona the most diverse neighborhood in Queens. Today, Corona still holds this title, and is a popular place for families to relax and get away from the busier parts of the city.
Most of the buildings in this area are single family homes and mid-rise apartment complexes. There aren’t too many tall buildings here. It’s rare to find a structure over 15 stories tall. They are around, just not common.
South Corona is a quiet residential neighborhood. There’s plenty to do here, especially given its proximity to the park. However, most people prefer the calmer pace of the area. They like the diverse respect everyone has for one another.
This is not a party neighborhood. There are some great restaurants and bars here, but things usually quiet down by the time it gets dark. South Corona is a place for people to come and rest after a busy day.
South Corona is ideal for families. There are a ton of good schools, access to hospitals, and plenty of outdoor activities. The area is also quiet, and most apartments and houses have plenty of spaces for growing families.
