Prewar charm and diverse cuisine in Jackson Heights
Jackson Heights is a Queens neighborhood with a diverse range of restaurants and shops throughout. Residents appreciate the rich texture, proximity to Manhattan, and spacious housing options. “A lot of first-time homebuyers who are searching for more space and easy access to the city are interested in Jackson Heights,” says Stephanie McNeil, an associate real estate broker with FILO Real Estate Group who has been working in the area since 2013. “They love the prewar charm of a lot of the co-ops in this area and the green spaces that Jackson Heights has updated.”
In northwestern Queens, Jackson Heights is known for its diversity of languages and cultures.

Many co-op buildings and some family homes
The neighborhood is notable for its midrise prewar brick buildings and larger family homes. “Maybe 80% of the housing is co-ops and then the remaining 20% is a mix of attached single-families, multi-families, and detached houses,” says McNeil. A one-bedroom in a prewar or midcentury brick co-op building runs between $200,000 to $450,000. A semi-detached or detached home costs between $1 million and $2.3 million. Condos are rare, though a two-bedroom condo in the six-story Stratford Hall building can cost between $670,00 and $780,000. A historic district with landmarked buildings runs between Roosevelt Avenue and 34th Avenue from 76th Street to 88th Street, and a few blocks feature English Tudor homes.

It is a very crowded place. There is a lot of traffic and no one follows the traffic rules there. It is very good place to try Indian food!
