Jackson Heights: Cooperative Apartments and Global Queens
Jackson Heights sits in central Queens between Astoria to the west and Elmhurst to the south, with a population around 67,000. The neighborhood was developed starting in 1909 by the Queensboro Corporation as a planned garden apartment district. Some of the earliest cooperative apartment buildings in the United States were built there, with names like Hawthorne Court, Greystones, and Linden Court still in use.
Roosevelt Avenue runs east-west through the southern part of the neighborhood, carrying the elevated 7 train. Along the avenue, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Peruvian, Mexican, and Argentinian restaurants and shops dominate stretches of blocks. 74th Street on the south side holds one of the largest South Asian commercial districts in New York, with Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Nepali businesses.
The Jackson Heights Historic District, designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1993, covers most of the core planned area between Roosevelt Avenue and Northern Boulevard. Travers Park on 78th Street anchors the family-oriented side of the neighborhood.
