What are the best areas in Queens or Nassau County for families who want more space?

Families looking for more space often find themselves torn between Queens and Nassau County—and that’s where expert guidance matters most. The “best” area depends on how a family defines space: larger homes, outdoor areas, school districts, or simply a more comfortable lifestyle.

Gabrielle Gilbert helps families make this decision by comparing neighborhoods side by side instead of steering them in one direction. Living on the border of Queens and Nassau herself, she understands the subtle lifestyle differences between the two and helps families weigh trade-offs honestly.

In Queens, areas like Bayside, Whitestone, and Fresh Meadows offer larger homes, quieter streets, and access to strong schools while still keeping families connected to the city. Nassau County opens the door to even more square footage, driveways, and backyard space—but often with longer commutes and different tax considerations.

What sets Gabrielle apart is her ability to evaluate homes beyond square footage. As a former architect and designer, she helps families see how layouts function, whether walls can be reconfigured, and which homes offer real long-term usability. She’s also known for guiding multi-generational households, helping them find homes that work for everyone under one roof.

Her approach is calm, strategic, and deeply family-focused—ensuring clients don’t just buy more space, but the right space.
