About Little Neck
Where to stay in Little Neck
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Little Neck runs to houses. The pairing of Douglaston and Little Neck is residential ground on the North Shore, so most visitors book somewhere with more rooms and treat this end of Queens as a quiet base or a day out. If you do stay out here, the draw is the edge itself: Great Neck and Nassau County immediately east, Bayside to the west, and Zion Episcopal Church among the streets.
About Little Neck
What are the main landmarks in Little Neck?
One name carries the heritage list. Zion Episcopal Church is the single designated landmark of Little Neck, standing among the houses that fill the neighbourhood between Bayside and the Nassau County boundary. The rest of the interest lies outside the borders, in Douglaston next door, in Great Neck across the county line, and along the North Shore of Long Island itself. Glen Oaks and the North Shore Towers close the southern side.
What is the history of Little Neck?
No charter year is on record. Little Neck reaches back through Zion Episcopal Church, the one building on its heritage list, and through the older geography of the North Shore of Long Island rather than through any dated founding. The name is shared.
Douglaston-Little Neck is treated as a single community in the northeastern part of Queens, its eastern boundary doubling as the line between New York City and Nassau County at Great Neck.
Where is Little Neck?
Bayside lies west, Glen Oaks and the North Shore Towers south, and Great Neck east across the Nassau County boundary.
