Jackson Heights is a vibrant, diverse, historic neighborhood just east of Astoria in Queens. More than half of the community has been designated as a National Historic District, and much of it is also protected as a State Historic District. The real estate and homes for sale in Jackson Heights include rare, and now aesthetically protected apartment buildings that offer lush, private backyard gardens for their residents. The community of Jackson Heights celebrates its diversity and supports an active independent business community. A huge variety of restaurants and boutiques draw customers from around the city. Since the neighborhood is right on the 7 Subway line, and also offers E, F, M and R Train stops, it offers an easy, half hour commute to the heart of Manhattan. Like many of the proud, historic neighborhoods of Queens, Jackson Heights' housing stock features many early-to-mid-20th century brick buildings. The real estate and homes for sale in the neighborhood include detached and semi-detached single-family homes with yards, pre-war cooperative buildings with elegant interior design features, low and mid-rise apartment buildings, and even a few condominiums. There are also many opportunities for live-work spaces or mixed-use residential commercial buildings on the quaint business corridors of the neighborhood. One of the interesting things about Jackson Heights is that, because of the neighborhood's historic designation, developers are not able to build the sort of brand new high-rise condo buildings that dot the skylines of many other areas of New York City. This gives the whole neighborhood a tight-knit, small town feel.
