"It has quiet, tree-lined residential streets, a village center and a townhall that offers information and services for seniors, students, veterans and others in the community. Founded in 1642 and named for the Mespachtes, a Native American tribe who lived here, Maspeth is a planned stop along the MTA's ongoing Interborough Express (IBX) light rail line project."
"Although the IBX is years away, it recently entered a project design phase. The MTA sealed the deal on July 30 when the agency's board approved a $166 million design contract for the massive transit job. A complete change of mobility and access for so many people, MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said at a recent board meeting. This is a huge deal. The IBX is going to change people's lives and folks are understandably psyched about it."

The IBX is going to change people's lives and folks are understandably psyched about it. In an area of lush lawns and tree-lined streets, Maspeth has blocks upon blocks of well-kept homes. Many were built in the early 20th century as one- and two-family residences."
Maspeth is a residential neighborhood in Queens with quiet, tree-lined streets, a village center and a townhall providing services for seniors, students, veterans and other residents. Founded in 1642 and named for the Mespachtes tribe, Maspeth will be one of 19 stops along the 14-mile Interborough Express (IBX) light-rail route connecting Queens and Brooklyn without entering Manhattan. The IBX is expected to shorten commutes for thousands of people. The MTA entered a project design phase, approving a $166 million design contract. Well-kept early 20th-century one- and two-family homes line Maspeth blocks, and many homeowners display American flags on porches.
