About This District
Queens Community District 5
Queens Community District 5 encompasses Maspeth, Middle Village, Ridgewood, and Glendale. Covering 7.3 square miles and home to more than 170,000 residents, it sits on the western edge of Queens along the Brooklyn line.
It includes rowhouse neighborhoods, lower-density residential areas, cemeteries, industrial space, rail corridors, and commercial streets. The district often feels less like one center and more like several neighborhoods sharing infrastructure, truck routes, schools, parks, and local business corridors.
