The western border is Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, on the north is Jewel Avenue, on the south is Union Turnpike and to the east is Parsons Boulevard (or 164th Street). Some sources rate this as a sub-neighborhood within the greater Flushing district, but others recognise it as coming between the modern day neighborhood of Flushing to the north and Jamaica proper to the south.

Kew Gardens Hills roughly encompasses ZIP code 11367. The neighborhood is part of Queens Community Board 8. Main arteries through the neighborhood are Main Street, Jewel Avenue, and Kissena Boulevard. Main arteries around the perimeter of the neighborhood are Union Turnpike, Horace Harding Expressway, Kissena Boulevard and Parsons Boulevard.

Kew Gardens Hills is made easily accessible thanks to the expressways surrounding it and the quick commute on the Q46 bus to the Union Turnpike-Kew Gardens subway station. Adjacent neighborhoods include Forest Hills to the west, Hillcrest to the east, Briarwood to the south, and the Flushing sub-neighborhood of Queensboro Hill to the north.
