Where to stay in Richmond Hill
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Kew Gardens sits at the top. Richmond Hill splits between Queens Community Board 9 and Community Board 10, and a stay divides much the same way, with the northern half running up to Forest Park and the southern half falling toward South Ozone Park. Jamaica lies east. Woodhaven and Ozone Park hold the western side, which leaves the choice between the Forest Park end at the top and the South Ozone Park end at the bottom.

About Richmond Hill
What are the main landmarks in Richmond Hill?
Two churches, and that is the list. Saint Benedict Joseph Labre Church and the Church of the Resurrection are the only named sites the record holds for Richmond Hill, a pair of churches with no civic monument listed beside them. Forest Park closes the north.
Nothing else inside the lines that Kew Gardens, Jamaica, South Ozone Park, Woodhaven and Ozone Park draw around the neighbourhood is catalogued.
What is the history of Richmond Hill?
The record begins in 1868. Richmond Hill grew as a commercial and residential neighbourhood in the southwestern section of the borough of Queens, and the two churches the entry names, Saint Benedict Joseph Labre Church and the Church of the Resurrection, are the only buildings it carries at all. Two community boards divide it.
Queens Community Board 9 takes one part and Community Board 10 the other, a line run through ground that Forest Park, Kew Gardens, Jamaica, South Ozone Park, Woodhaven and Ozone Park enclose.
Where is Richmond Hill?
Forest Park rides the northern edge. Richmond Hill occupies the southwestern section of Queens, with Jamaica east, South Ozone Park south and Woodhaven west.
