Living in Jackson Heights

Garden co-ops and food from around the world.

Jackson Heights has a landmark historic district of garden co-ops — apartment buildings built around private gardens — and one of the most diverse populations anywhere.

That diversity shows up on its streets, with South Asian, Latin American and Himalayan restaurants and shops within a few blocks of each other.
