I plan on moving to New York and I'm considering moving to Queens since it has some of the most affordable housing. So I wanted to what are some good neighborhoods to move to that are close to Manhattan. I want to check out neighborhoods where a lot of young people live like myself.(18-21+)

I also would prefer a neighborhood where theres some black people, I'm not looking to move into a area thats prodominantly white. more specifically I'm looking for an area thats diverse.

I used to live in Long Island City, one subway stop from Manhattan. My neighborhood wasn't all that diverse back then -- mostly Italian and Brazilian -- but times have changed and it's now a hot neighborhood that attracts a lot of young people. Of course, now I'm priced out...
Sunnyside is nearby and pretty diverse. Jamaica is a bit more of a commute. I used to work there, and my commute by subway from Long Island City was about 30-45 minutes. Add in walking and waiting time, and it's about an hour or more. There are nice sections of Jamaica and ratty ones, so you'd have to look around, but it is predominantly black (not necessarily African-American -- there are lots of West Indians, too) and has a lot of other ethnic groups, like Arabs, Indians and a variety of Hispanics. I'm not sure what you meant by Queens City -- maybe Queens Village? That has a sizeable black population, plus a good number of Guyanese. I don't recommend it if you're trying to commute to Manhattan, though, because there is no subway there; you'd have to take a bus to the subway.

Astoria/Long Island City are the closest neighborhoods in Queens to NYC (just over the bridge) with plenty of artists and young professionals in residence. Check on Yahoo or Google maps; the zip codes 11101, 11102, 11103, 11104
