About Springfield Gardens
Where to stay in Springfield Gardens
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Springfield Boulevard splits the neighborhood. East of that road the ground is often called Brookville instead, a second name for the same stretch of southeastern Queens, while everything to the west of it runs out at Farmers Boulevard. St. Albans holds the northern approach, Laurelton and Rosedale the eastern one, and all three put a bed within easy reach of the same Queens Community Board 12 district.
John F. Kennedy International Airport lies along the southern boundary, which makes an early flight simple to reach from either half.
About Springfield Gardens
What are the main landmarks in Springfield Gardens?
Two boulevards do the naming here. Farmers Boulevard closes the western boundary and Springfield Boulevard cuts across it, the second of them marking the point past which the neighborhood is sometimes called Brookville instead. John F. Kennedy International Airport supplies the largest structure on any boundary, filling the whole southern side of the neighborhood.
The rest is street grid. St. Albans, Laurelton and Rosedale carry the named ground on the other three sides, all of it inside Queens Community Board 12.
What is the history of Springfield Gardens?
Two names cover one place. The area east of Springfield Boulevard is sometimes still called Brookville, so a single neighborhood in the southeastern area of the borough of Queens has carried two labels side by side rather than settling on one. Officialdom had the last word.
Springfield Gardens answers to Queens Community Board 12, and its boundaries were drawn against Farmers Boulevard on one side and against the airport ground on the other.
Where is Springfield Gardens?
St. Albans bounds the neighborhood to the north, Laurelton and Rosedale to the east, and Farmers Boulevard to the west.
