It’s the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world and has the most diversified economy of the five New York City boroughs. It’s also home to both John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, which are among the busiest airports in the world. Some of its most popular landmarks are Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Citi Field (home to the New York Mets baseball team), and the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, where the US Open tennis tournament takes place.
The borough has diverse housing, ranging from high-rise apartments in the urban areas in the western and central areas, to more suburban neighborhoods in the eastern part.
