Leafy tranquility in eastern Queens
In Jamaica Esates, New York City’s densely urban street grids relax into a miniature suburbia of winding roads, old English and new American style homes, and refreshing foliage. “The trees drew me here,” says Safraz Baksh, a long-time Jamaica Estates resident and real estate agent. “They give the area a tranquil feeling.” Located at the end of the F train and with Grand Central Parkway running through the middle, this neighborhood is still easy to reach. It’s surrounded by convenient shopping and kosher dining, and has a 358-acre park next door. “All the neighbors are quiet, and you have a lot of yard space,” Baksh says. “For Queens, it’s one of the most prestigious neighborhoods.”

Century-old manors and large lots for new estates
Expansive Tudors and Cape Cods, plus the occasional Mediterranean-inspired design, are signatures of the housing in Jamaica Estates. Smaller, boxy colonials are also common, and across these styles, prices range from $950,000 to $1.4 million. “Recently, people have been buying older homes, knocking them down and putting up new ones,” Baksh says. “The lot sizes are bigger here, so they can max out on the square footage.” Prices for these newer houses start around $1.8 million and can go up to $4 million. In the southern half of the neighborhood, large mid-century co-op buildings have units priced between $175,000 and $500,000, depending on size, and a limited number of condo buildings have units for $350,000 to $500,000.

Next to one of Queens’ biggest parks
Cunningham Park is a short walk east from Jamaica Estates, giving residents over 350 acres of green space and athletic fields that go beyond the standard fare to include cricket, bocce ball and volleyball.
