Forest Hills–71st Avenue is an express station on the IND Queens Boulevard Line of the New York City Subway, located on Queens Boulevard at 71st Avenue in Forest Hills, Queens. It is served by the E and F trains at all times, the <F> train during rush hours in the peak direction, the R train at all times except late nights, the M train on weekdays except late nights. It serves as the terminus for the latter two services.
The Queens Boulevard Line was one of the first lines built by the city-owned Independent Subway System , and stretches between the IND Eighth Avenue Line in Manhattan and 179th Street and Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, Queens. The Queens Boulevard Line was in part financed by a Public Works Administration loan and grant of $25 million. One of the proposed stations would have been located at 71st Avenue. During the late 1920s, in anticipation of the arrival of the subway, land was bought by developers and was built up. Zoning laws were changed to allow fifteen-story apartment buildings to be built, and made the neighborhood of Forest Hills a more desirable place to live, especially as it was an express stop. Queens Borough President George Harvey predicted that the introduction of the subway to Forest Hills would turn Queens Boulevard into the "Park Avenue of Queens."
