Historic Jackson Heights

A Garden in the City

Historic Jackson Heights is a landmark neighborhood of private homes, spacious cooperative apartments and rentals surrounded by greenery, only 20 minutes from midtown Manhattan by subway.

Singles starting out, couples settling down and families growing up are moving to Jackson Heights, an ethnically and economically diverse neighborhood. Attracted by the quick commute to Manhattan, the landmark architecture and very affordable housing, more professionals are discovering this neighborhood that cultivates the arts and family life.

"The garden apartments of Jackson Heights are remarkable not because they are quaint and charming, but because they still bring to New Yorkers of more modest means a taste of the life that otherwise can only be had more abundantly in Manhattan’s most glamorous and venerated apartment houses."
- Architect and Yale School of Architecture Dean Robert A.M. Stern.
