About Forest Hills–71st Avenue
Forest Hills–71st Avenue is a major Queens station on the E/F/M/R lines, serving the affluent residential neighbourhood of Forest Hills. The Tudor-style Forest Hills Gardens estate (1909) is a short walk - an extraordinary planned garden community modelled on English Garden Cities with winding streets and half-timbered houses. The USTA National Tennis Center (home of the US Open) is easily reached from here.
