Jackson Heights Neighborhood Guide
The "Heights" in Jackson Heights is more aspirational than geographical, as the area is not particularly high. This swath of northern Queens was once so unnoticed that its namesake, John J. Jackson, didn't actually live here, he just built a road through the area in the 1850s. The Queensboro Corporation removed the anonymity in 1914 by buying up the land and installing a planned community aimed at middle- and upper-class buyers who could take the new elevated subway back into Manhattan. To lure folks out of the city, Queensboro invented the "garden apartment" - units clustered around private green spaces. A century later, those apartments have opened to the world: more than half of the Jackson Heights population is foreign-born and some estimates put the number of languages spoken in the neighborhood north of 150.
Architecture and landmarks
Virtually all of Jackson Heights was constructed by Queensboro between the 1910s and the early 1950s and the core of the neighborhood has been designated an historic district for its pioneering efforts in urban design and planning. A variety of architects worked on the five- and six-story apartment buildings, drawing mostly on English inspiration but also exhibiting French, Spanish and Italian influences. The builders mostly eschewed fancy ornamentation, save for decorative brickwork, eye-catching rooflines and formal entrances. Many of the community landmarks associated with Jackson Heights have evolved with the neighborhood. The Jackson Diner, for instance, opened in 1982 dishing out hamburgers and hot dogs and today it is a go-to destination for Indian food.

There would be no Jackson Heights without the E, F, M, R and 7 trains of the IRT Flushing Line - the neighborhood was once called Trains Meadow. The ride to Grand Central Terminal takes about 15 minutes. Bus service includes an express option to LaGuardia Airport, which is a 15-minute ride as well.
Schools
A lively mix of public, charter and private schools educate the diverse congregation of Jackson Heights students. The New York City Department of Education ranks the neighborhood schools above average in performance.
Health
The Jackson Heights Family Health Center on Northern Boulevard, a branch of the New York-Presbyterian Hospital, offers preventative and behavioral health care with office hours six days a week. The nearby Elmhurst Hospital is on call for emergencies and hospital stays.
Safety
The men and women of the 115th Precinct patrol the streets of Jackson Heights, and handled 12.01 crimes per 1,000 residents in 2016. That makes the neighborhood one of New York City's safer neighborhoods.
Things to do
Just about anything you need for everyday existence is within walking distance in Jackson Heights. Cheap eats are plentiful and intriguing from the battery of international food vendors and restaurants.
The chefs of Little India (74th Street), Little Pakistan (73rd Street) and Little Colombia (77th Street) are among those who have made their mark on New York's culinary landscape. While Jackson Heights was hatched with the concept of "garden apartments," there is precious little public open space in the neighborhood, although in the early days there were parks and even a golf course.
The resident gardens, both freestyle and landscaped, are attractive ornaments, but the two-acre Travers Park, mostly asphalt, is the destination for play in Jackson Heights. To compensate, some blocks are shut down to vehicular traffic and operate as pedestrian malls.
