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.

I've grown up in this wonderful area. Many trees and plants provide an natural environment which isn't like industrialized cities. It's safe and there's so much to do in this neighborhood. Excellent places to dine or take out. Dance studios. gyms, schools, centers are just a few examples of fun activities which are available.

This neighborhood has become a really diverse place, theres so much to do and always a place to communicate or interact with people.Id really enjoy it if there were trash cans everywhere rather than just every 4 avenues, it gets really annoying to see our community being so affected by trash.
