143-13 Ferndale Avenue, Jamaica, Queens, NY 11435

Though it may go slightly unheralded in the roll call of neighborhoods, Jamaica is as essential to Queens’ essence as MoMA PS1, Rockaway Beach, or the Mets’ Home Run Apple. Its lineup of locals has included athletes, musicians, writers, actors, and countless more. Modern-day Jamaica sits near other residential enclaves like Kew Gardens, Richmond Hill, and the historic Addisleigh Park district of St. Albans, comprising a passionate community with a particular pride for the place they call their own. Residences offer options for everyone, presenting a mix of freestanding houses and townhomes, high- and low-rise apartment buildings, and modern condominiums. Jamaica is a transit hub, but not only because of the multiple subway lines and bus routes that find their way within its borders. The neighborhood’s Long Island Rail Road station acts as a critical waypoint, while flights at JFK International Airport are mere minutes away.
