I think we sould classify Queens neighborhoods by the postal town (ie Long Island City, Jamaica, Flushing, and Far Rockawa) they belong too. That's why I put a {{stub}} template. I don't do it myself because I know nothing about it, I'm not a New Yorker.-- Revas 7 July 2005 16:02 (UTC)
I think "postal towns" are pretty useless, as they have no real bearing on the neighborhoods in Queens. For example, the Flushing postal town covers a vastly larger area than Flushing, and many areas that are nothing like Flushing at all (Jackson Heights? Woodside? Maspeth? They might as well be Brooklyn.) In addition, I think such a method of classification would just confuse people.
I spent some time this evening with the Encyclopedia of New York City (Jackson, 1995) and came up with the following for discussion here before I apply the updates.

Utopia and Rockaway Point is a neighborhood in Queens. If you look at the NYC Department of City Planning website, it shows both Utopia and Rockaway Point in there on the Community Board map and on the Ambassador Yellow Pages for New York City. Parkside is a neighborhood in Queens because if you look up the zipcode 11375, It shows Parkside as not acceptable and that if you search for maps of neighborhoodso of Queens, you might find Parkside in there, just like I did. Westmoreland and New Howard Beach aren't neighborhoods of Queens since there isn't any reference to it nor any map but there is a neighborhood called Old Howard Beach in Queens.

Where is this neighborhood and do the people who live there call it "Parson's Beach"? patsw 21:52, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Utopia is a neighborhood because if you check the Queens Community Board 8 Website, It shows Utopia as being a neighborhood of Queens, as well as Flushing Heights, Flushing Suburban, and Hillcrest Estates neighborhoods as being in Queens. In Queens Community Boards website, It shows, Garden Bay, Utopia, Cunningham Heights, Hilltop Village, Flushing South, East Flushing, and Baisley Park as being neighborhoods in Queens.

There is a lost neighborhood in Queens and, it turns out, it is most easily found via the parking lot of the International House of Pancakes on Rockaway Boulevard. There are no signs leading visitors to the area, which is called Meadowmere, patsw 22:13, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
In case anyone hadn't noticed, Wikipedia:Communities strawpoll is voting on a uniform naming convention for all neighborhoods of U.S. cities. The proposition currently leading by a wide margin would apparently entail renaming most New York City neighborhood articles to something like neighborhood, New York, New York. older ≠ wiser 19:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Neighborhoods in the city of New York are not an official designation. As noted on the Dept of City Planning's website [6]: "Disclaimer: Neighborhood names are not officially designated. " What this means is that "neighborhoods" do not have defined borders, or even official names. The only borders that can possibly be attributed to neighborhoods are those of neighborhoods that existed as villages pre 1898 and were then incorporated into the Borough along with the respective Towns. It might be an idea to list or sort by the pre-1898 township as well as the pre-1998 postal "city" along with the the community board(s). Otherwise there seems to be a randomness to this page. For example, why is Electchester listed as part of Flushing, but Pomonok not? I think it is questionable that either one of these is a "neighborhood" in its own right any more than any other coop or public housing development is called neighborhood. Also it is possible that ZIP codes cross Community Boards, and that "neighborhoods" contain multiple ZIP codes, and community boards straddle the old township borders, and that neighborhoods are represented by one or more civic associations. One should take note that the Manhattan neighborhoods listings state "Neighborhood names and boundaries are not officially defined. They may vary or change from time to time due to demographic and economic variables." One could also see on the map of Manhattan that neighborhoods can overlap and this happens in Queens as well. What doesn't overlap, are designations such as school districts, precincts, ZIP Codes, the original townships and villages, even civic associations. I venture to say it is a combination of all of these and more that make up what are called "neighborhoods" today. -- 69.86.207.199 ( talk) 12:00, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
The neighborhood of Steinway is listed on the map (next to Astoria) but not mentioned at all in this article. 173.89.236.187 ( talk) 05:56, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
So mention that it's part of another neighborhood. Not mentioning it at all in the article, when it's clearly labeled on the map, is simply confusing to our users around the world. 173.89.236.187 ( talk) 02:46, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

The Clearview neighborhood seems to be ignored for some reason, especially on our official map. Google maps recognizes it though, and unlike Wikipedia's official Queens Neighborhood Map, it doesn't make Bay Terrace and Fort Totten part of Little Neck, Queens. ------- User:DanTD ( talk) 14:20, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
