Property Description for 34-41 78th Street, 1-A
IIF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VALUE PURCHASE, THIS APARTMENT IS PRICED $64,000 LOWER THAN THE AVERAGE 2 BR/1 BA IN JACKSON HEIGHTS! This inviting, subtly renovated 2 BR/1 BA is located in Dunolly Gardens, a friendly community of buildings with the largest interior garden in Jackson Heights' historic district. There are sunny southern and eastern exposures, high ceilings, and newly-finished hardwood floors throughout. Upon entering, you will find a gracious foyer presently used as an office space. The large, cleverly renovated kitchen has stainless steel appliances, gray slate floors, marble countertops, a pretty ceramic backsplash, and white cabinetry with plenty of storage. The renovated bathroom has a marble, basket-weave floor, wainscoting, and double vanities. Conveniently facing the living room and both bedrooms is the jewel of Dunolly, its interior, gated garden. The bright, roomy master bedroom has a spacious closet and the 2nd bedroom, with its own ample storage space, faces a historic tree gifted by Mayor LaGuardia. More about the garden! In these challenging times, it offers a private, park-like space with flower-lined walking paths, benches, and tables for dining, socializing, or working from home. There's also a Children's Garden, where kids learn to grow herbs and care for plants. Less than a block away is a newly renovated public park with courts for tennis, basketball, and handball, as well as multiple playgrounds. Also right on the corner is 34th Avenue, a verdant, pedestrian avenue which runs from 69th to 94th Streets, and has been a joy for locals. A short walk away is extensive food shopping, an array of public schools (district 30), and the nearby subway station, (E/F/M/R/7 trains), which gets you to Manhattan in just 15 minutes. The well-maintained building has laundry, storage, bike storage, a dedicated porter, and two on-site supers and a managing agent. Jackson Heights is a warm community known for its historic garden apartments, multiculturalism, diverse dining options, and now perhaps for its political activism. Come see this well-priced, attractive apartment in a fantastic neighborhood. Showings by appointment.

Quick Profile
Jackson Heights has one of the most diverse populations in the city, and over 100 languages are spoken here. With this cultural diversity comes supporting restaurants, bars, shops and cultural opportunities. It is a mix of commercial and residential properties. There is a wide range of shops and service businesses, so that anything you would need, from a barber, to a pharmacy, to clothing, and food is available right in the neighborhood, no matter which culture or language you might need these services provided in.
Jackson Heights has three nicknames, based on micro-neighborhoods with the neighborhood as a whole. Little India occupies an area on 74th Street, while parts of 73rd Street are known as Little Pakistan. Little Columbia is along 37th Avenue.
A large portion of Jackson Heights has been designated as an historic district, from Roosevelt Avenue to Northern Boulevard, between the east side of 76th Street to the west side of 88th Street.
Jackson Heights was a planned community, where the first “garden apartments” were created in buildings constructed around central gardens and green spaces that gave neighbors a place to meet and socialize with one another, created places for children to play, allowing light to come into the apartments and air to flow freely through them. These gardens are private and only residents have access to them. Passing by the buildings, you might not even guess the gardens were there, as they are not generally visible from the street.
Additionally, there are some mid-rise apartment buildings. Some of these are rentals, some are co-ops, and some are condos. There are a few attached row houses that provide housing for one to three families.
As much as Jackson Heights might be full of noise and mix of cultures, it also has a quieter side, where the various cultures mix and mingle and learn about each other against a backdrop of beautiful architecture and a culinary landscape that brings the world to Queens.
