This bright and airy home's floor plan begins with a large foyer featuring room for a home office area or bench seating. To the right, the expansive living room stretches 20 feet long to south-facing windows overlooking the central garden, creating a generous footprint for seating and dining areas. Whether you're planning an intimate meal or a lively dinner party, the windowed kitchen is up to the task thanks to rows of wood cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, dishwasher and built-in microwave.

The secondary bedroom is also generously sized with its own large closet, and two hall closets ensure storage will never be a concern. A full windowed bathroom with a large tub/shower, handsome stone tile and contemporary fixtures completes this inviting Jackson Heights abode. Designed in 1938 by Andrew J. Thomas, Dunolly Gardens was the last garden complex built in the Jackson Heights Historic District and the only one to occupy an entire block, including both avenue ends. Thomas was a pioneering architect in the district responsible for The Chateau and The Towers and the Moderne design of Dunolly Gardens, providing notable bookends to the garden apartment era. Today, Dunolly Gardens residents enjoy on-site management, a live-in superintendent and porters, elevators, a party room, laundry, storage, a bike room and a beloved, block-long landscaped garden where neighbors decorate for holidays, hold celebrations and enjoy meals together. From this fantastic Jackson Heights location, you're just inches from renovated Travers Park, featuring a playground, sports courts and a wonderful year-round greenmarket. Outstanding shopping, dining and nightlife destinations fill the nearby streets, and world-class recreation, sports and entertainment await at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the USTA Tennis Center, Citi Field and the upcoming New York Football Club stadium complex. Nearby 7, E, R and F/M trains, excellent bus service, the BQE and LaGuardia provide easy access to the rest of the city or wherever your travels may take you.

Jackson Heights | Queens

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.
