Jackson Heights is a cultural melting pot with more than 167 languages spoken. It is a host to numerous parades, film festivals, diverse cuisine, as well as home to many inventors, artists, writers and filmmakers. For those who do not work in the area, it is a short 25-40 minute commute to Manhattan, making Jackson Heights a great place to call home if you are tired of the bustle. Jackson Heights was comprised by a grouping of exquisitely designed buildings adjacent to lush green space, known as garden apartments, most of which stand to this day.
