Jackson Heights is one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the world, so most people know it for the delicious, authentic restaurants. There are nearly 200 languages spoken here; Little India and a large South American population nudge up against each other. None of the buildings are more than 6 stories high and the more residential streets are heavily tree-lined and spotted with green parks.
J Heights is conveniently located off the express E and F trains, making it quite easy to get into Manhattan. It’s also close to LaGuardia Airport and Flushing Meadows park with Citi Field (Mets Stadium) & the US Open Tennis Center.
