Jackson Heights is a neighborhood in northwestern Queens bound by Astoria Boulevard, Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and Roosevelt Avenue. Originally Jackson Heights was a planned development laid out by Edward A. MacDougall’s Queensboro Corporation beginning in 1916 for upper-middle income workers from Manhattan to raise their families. It was also the first garden city community built in the United States as part of the international garden city movement.

Jackson Heights is filled with private parks within walking distance on one another. Most parks are tucked in mid-blocks, hidden from view by their surrounding buildings, some near the size of Gramercy Park in Manhattan. The idea behind the private neighborhoods was to build a neighborhood under the oversight of one person.

Seventy-fourth Street between Roosevelt Avenue and 37th Avenue and their surrounding blocks is the heart of the South Asian neighborhood in Queens. Indians, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis call this area home and this is also where you’ll find the highest quality of Indian food in the city. Also South Asian jewelry, clothes and music run a plenty here. Jackson Heights is one of the most diverse neighborhoods in New York City and the nation. Sometimes Jackson Heights is referred to as “Jaikishan Heights” and “Little India” amongst the populace.

The Jackson Heights garden co-op buildings are famous; some even say the phrase garden buildings came from these buildings in Jackson Heights. In fact, the Jackson Heights Garden City Society is a historical society whose founders include local historians, the Queens Borough Historian and local activists.

Jackson Heights has many historical landmarks that can be visiting during the Jackson Heights walking tour. On the tour, you’ll visit such famous sites as the garden home The Dover, The Greystones, Home of Scrabble® and the Zenith towers and chateau.
