Property Description for 35-45 78th Street, 2
Wrap yourself in gorgeous garden views in this lovely two-bedroom plus den, one-bathroom home featuring prewar detailing and thoughtful updates in one of Jackson Heights’s finest historic garden cooperatives.
Inside this spacious home, 9-foot-high cove ceilings and hardwood floors are trimmed with handsome millwork, and eastern-facing windows capture vistas of the lush rear gardens. The thoughtful floor plan begins with a gracious foyer flanked by two closets and flows to a large living room and separate dining room, ideal for relaxation and lively entertaining. Perfect for an office, nursery or workout area, the den features generous western-facing windows, built-in cabinetry and a corner closet. The garden-view kitchen pairs stainless-steel appliances with classic glass-front cabinets and the original cast-iron sink. Both spacious bedrooms offer sizable windows and roomy closets, while the completely renovated contemporary bathroom impresses with a windowed shower/soaking tub, a floating vanity and upscale amenities surrounded by floor-to-ceiling designer tile. Elegant ceiling lights and fans lend style and comfort throughout.
Designed in 1919 by famed architect George H. Wells, The Hampton Court Apartments is a stately collection of 11 Neo-Georgian redbrick and white stone buildings surrounding a lush block-long garden. Each building operates as its own co-op, and residents of 35-45 78th Street enjoy live-in superintendent service, laundry facilities and individual storage units. Cats are welcome and the building is 100% owner-occupied. (Sorry, no dogs or subletting allowed.) There is a $230.30 monthly assessment, and up to 75% financing is permitted.
This desirable Jackson Heights Historic District location sits 1 1/2 blocks from Paseo Park, the 26-block-long 34th Avenue Open Street with permanent pedestrian plaza and bike lanes. Travers Park offers a playground, sports courts and a wonderful year-round greenmarket. Steps away is 37th Avenue shopping and abundant international dining destinations; nearby world-class recreation and entertainment options include the USTA Tennis Center, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Citi Field and the upcoming New York Football Club stadium complex. The E, M, F, R and 7 trains, extensive bus service, the BQE, and LaGuardia Airport are all close by, providing easy access to the rest of the city and beyond.

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.
