Neighbourhoods in New York that play hard to get
New inventory is tight, homeowners seldom sell and word-of-mouth is gold
New York
RICHMOND Hill, in southwestern Queens, can be an eye-opener for the uninitiated homebuyer. Neck rolls may even be in order. They'll help with the double take: Victorian houses with verandas and grassy lawns a few blocks from the subway; locals gallivanting on horseback in Forest Park; street parking on a Saturday.
Perhaps the most unusual sight in this tree-lined neighbourhood: a for-sale sign.
