In Richmond Hill, there are many transportation services, like trains and buses. There are many different cultures in the area. In the area, there are many convenient stores that you can easily walk to. The nightlife is okay, it's not the best but when you take a bus or train, it gets better.

The people in the south richmond hill area are so intolerable! Theyre rude and aggressive
Many times when I walked down liberty avenue in south richmond hill people would aggressively ask me about my personal life. Crime rate is high in this area. The noise pollution is terrible.The Guyanese and Trinidadian people living in south richmond hill are toxic and want to push their noses in your business.
If you live there,leave if you can. Don't even think about going to that area !

A lot of people here are aggressive and inconsiderate. There is constant noise due to planes flying in to/from LGA/JFK, there are lots of fights, and the loud modded cars will break any concentration u might have had every 5-10 minutes. The high school here has an extremely low 65% graduation rate, and the area surrounding it generally isn't all that safe. People really do not clean up after themselves at all here as there is constant litter throughout the streets. Just last week someone left behind human feces in front of the Q37 stop. The only redeeming quality this neighborhood has is Forest Park and the J-train. Aside from that, if you have any sort of class you should really avoid moving here and look into any other neighborhood in Queens.
