The top floor features a front-facing king-size bedroom, two additional bedrooms, a full windowed bathroom, a spacious eat-in kitchen with walk-in pantry, and an open living and dining area with an electric fireplace.

The first floor features a similar layout and is currently occupied by a long term, reliable tenant since 2019 on a month-to-month basis, offering immediate rental income with future flexibility. This level also features a front-facing bedroom with a private front entry, while the remainder of the apartment, currently configured as a 3-bedroom layout, has its own outside seperate entrance (OSE) that also connects to the interior staircase. The expansive lower level, also accessible via the outside separate entrance (OSE), is thoughtfully designed with distinct front and rear recreational zones. The front area is fully open, offering a flexible blank canvas, while the rear section features a functional recreation area with a full bath and wet bar. Outside, the property includes a utility shed and a shared driveway that leads to the rear of the property, providing highly coveted, accessible private parking spaces in the backyard. Ideally located less than 1 block from Northern Boulevard, the home offers convenient access to the Grand Central Parkway, I-278, and I-678. Quick access to the 7-train station is available nearby with easy transfer to the E, F, M & R lines providing seamless commuting to Manhattan and beyond.

You're also just minutes from vibrant shops, cafes, restaurants and everyday convenience that makes Jackson Heights one of Queens' most desirable communities.

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.
