Uh, no, that would not be a good place to live.
However, I do suggest you look at apartments all along Main St. and Kissena Blvd. If that fails, search towards Parsons Blvd.
I would stay away from Parsons Blvd because right across the street is Public housing.
Parsons is huge, that depends on what part.
If you really must live in flushing, youll have to dig around to find a decent place, but there are much nicer areas in queens if you're willing to take a bus/train, ie. bayside, forest hills, fresh meadows, kew gardnes - because there is no way in hell youre driving into flushing, parking does not exist, and the driving is HELL.
In order to get to the apt building where i live, I have to make a turn across 41st ave and main...there is a steady stream of people crossing. The walk/dont walk signs mean NOTHING. There has not been a single time that I've tried to turn down that street without nearly getting out of my car and punching someone in the face in repeatedly.
And that is basically flushing in a nutshell. You will encounter zero daily friendliness, and it will be dirty, expensive and crowded. You will find the absolute worst of humanity waiting for the 7 train in the morning and people fight to get seats. I've been elbowed in the guts by little old ladies.
The only way you can possibly enjoy living or working in downtown flushing is if you're asian. That might sound racist, but its the truth.
But those $1 chicken sticks are absolutely awesome.
