Not only is Queens where I live but it's also one of the most diverse communities in the world. Within the borough, cultures converge and coalesce into smaller neighborhoods creating uncommon yet remarkable communities. The modes of living and housing structures are no exception as the varieties range from suburban homes, city housing, condos, large apartments, to historic brownstones.

As the dynamics of neighborhoods continually fluctuate, many old homes are being bought and torn down in favor of easy to assemble, larger apartments. The changing landscape leaves structural anomalies as rowed homes are often nestled between large modern apartments. The landscape of the community now becomes that of various housing structures, which creates a unique blend of culture, community, and generational contrasts.
