We were riveted when we heard the lengths flight attendants go to for affordably priced apartments to bunk in when their routes leave them in New York City for more than a few hours. (No joke, they call these places "crash pads," which are essentially what they are, but still.) Kew Gardens is apparently one of the most coveted locations for airline staff, largely because it's equidistant between LaGuardia and JFK airports. 

For buyers looking for more permanent digs, however, Kew Gardens, neighboring Jamaica Hills, and, to a larger extent, Forest Hills (which has more options for listings right now) definitely offer lots of space at, yes, less money compared to plenty of other NYC neighborhoods. If the proverbial bang-for-the-buck and being close to two airports rank high on your priority list, here's a sampling of properties on the market right now that are open for visits this weekend:
