Jackson Heights, NY Overview

Scrabble fans will be interested to know that the game was created by a Jackson Heights resident and perfected at one of the local churches.  The original developer in the area was the innovator of "garden apartments," and Jackson Heights also boasts the first co-op apartments in the nation.  These two apartment styles, along with a scattering of private homes, make up the historic "garden community" of Jackson Heights.  Nowhere else in America will you find more private parks or "gardens" within walking distance of each other, and the density of trees along the sidewalks is the highest in New York City.  The commercial corridors along 37th Avenue, 82nd Street, Roosevelt Avenue, and Junction Boulevard provide the best reflection of the diverse cultures and nationalities that have settled into the area.  Transportation efficiencies are outstanding.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability.
