JACKSON HEIGHTS QUEENS

Jackson Heights, Queens: a vibrant, diverse community that combines genuine warmth and hominess with a multitude of cultural venues, shops and restaurants. Residents of Jackson Heights enjoy a lifestyle that has all but disappeared from similar neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Complemented by gorgeous garden apartments built between 1917 and 1940, Jackson Heights was the first planned cooperative apartment community built in the United States. In 1993 the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission landmarked and created the Jackson Heights Historic District here in Queens.

As longtime residents of Jackson Heights, Queens, Michael and Carmen Carfagna have a vested interest in the growth and marketability of their community. Their son was born and raised here, where he attended and graduated from the prestigious The Garden School.

People are Jackson Heights’ principle asset—whether first time home owners or empty nesters seeking close proximity to Manhattan. It is a neighbor-friendly environment—a place where preservationists, merchants and residents live together in harmony.
