Rego Park was first developed in the 1920s by the REal GOod Development Company. It is bordered to the north by Elmhurst and Corona, the east and south by Forest Hills and the west by Middle Village. Aside from the many apartment buildings, multi-family and railroad houses which make up Rego Park, some houses are in the Colonial and Tudor styles with slate roofs (most notably in an area called the Crescents, named for its semicircular-shaped streets). There is easy access to Manhattan via the 63rd Drive subway stop and express buses. Along Queens Boulevard, Rego Park is home to some of Queens' most popular shopping destinations, including the Rego Park Center (formerly the site of Alexander's Dept. Store), a retail complex consisting of a large Sears, Bed Bath & Beyond, Marshall's and Old Navy branches. A new shopping mall on Junction Boulevard and 62nd Drive (across from the Rego Park Center) houses Kohl's and Century 21 department stores, Costco, T.J. Maxx, Toys 'R Us, Pearle Vision Center and Payless ShoeSource among others. The Queens Center Mall, the borough's largest, lies just to the west in Elmhurst. Many smaller ethnic stores, bakeries, pharmacies and restaurants can be found along 108th Street and 63rd Drive.
