"Several new homes of an attractive type have recently been started at Kew.  Pleasant drives have been laid out, and sewers, water, gas and electricity installed.  A comprehensive landscape gardening plan is being carried out, while at the same time the natural beauties of the place have been retained.   Situated on the main line of the Long Island Railroad, it enjoys admirable transit facilities with New York, the running time being about fifteen minutes from the station by way of the East River tubes to the Pennsylvania and Long Island stations at Seventh Avenue and Thirty-third street."
