Sublets in Jackson Heights
The most diverse place in America
Garden apartments built around private interior courtyards, a historic district protecting most of them, and a street grid where you can eat Tibetan, Colombian, Bangladeshi and Mexican food within two blocks. Roosevelt Avenue runs under the elevated 7 and never stops.
