Corona, New York

The neighborhood of Corona, New York is located in the borough of Queens. Its eastern border is Flushing, Rego Park and Forest Hills are to the south, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst are on the western boundary and East Elmhust is the northern limit. Although mostly a residential area, Corona’s southern section overlooks Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, a huge, open and green space which is among the biggest parks in New York. The home bases of the New York Mets, Citi Field and the USTA National Tennis Center are located within this park. Those moving to Corona will discover a population that is ethnically varied with a great proportion being Spanish-speaking, although there is a small but strong Italian American presence in the Little Italy sector of the neighborhood.

Economy:
As a part of New York City, most employment opportunities derive from the Big Apple, but the Queens Center Mall on Queens Boulevard, a highly profitable and successful retail venue on the Queens/Corona boundary, provides employment and is a cash generator for the borough. Smaller contributions come from light industry. All of these exciting opportunities keep Corona moving companies very busy.
