This was a nice trip down memory lane for me, having grown up on 180th Street between 90th and Jamaica avenue in the 1960s until 1975, when we fled the rising violent crime rate. I went to Immaculate Conception School in the Estates on Midland Parkway which you drove by. We were poor compared to the residents of Jamaica Estates. Walking to school in this incredibly wealthy neighborhood was quite a shock to my friends and me. We jokingly referred to our block as "Jamaica Estates South" to soften the blow lol. Nice video tour!
Has changed a lot with neighbors not keeping in keeping with the neighborhood and building crazy bright silver and gold fences and ridiculous walls as fences. It takes away from the park like feel it was modeled after, namely Central Park
By the way, Far Rockaway, Arverne, and Rockaway Beach are not wealthy, but Rockaway Park/Belle Harbor is extremely wealthy; Far Rockaway dates back before the 1600’s, when Henry Hudson came. We’re named after the Far Rickawayite Indians (who were also a part of the Lenai Lapi Indian tribe)
Prices for many of these homes are pushign $1.5 million.. A relative of mines purchased one in 1993 for $250k (which was alot back then, the avg house in queens was around $120k)
That light bright blue house is awful but I can see it is under construction I thought it was painted that color. This is a beautiful neighbor and very well kept up.
I used to live in the area. Unfortunately, I thought it was too much of a hassle to get from there to the financial district. I liked the area but it was just too far out.
why is there no 'blue park' skatepark in jamaica estates / forest hills gardens -- or just a nice place like the art students league that tells you when you when you didn't make the cut
This was lovely. I was born there at 175-10 88th Avenue in 1959. At the time it was Memorial Hospital of Queens. Thank you!
I always think of "Coming to America" when I see Jamaica Estates 😁🤴🏿
True. I always thought about the rapper DMX( Tommy Bunz) from the movie "Belly" lived in Jamaica Estates too.
Hahaaaa😊
I thought in the movie it was the bad section of queens?
A large number of it's residents are from all over the world...😊🏠
@@QUNYC7 Yes, I think of Belly

It seems as if all the NY developers took their building inspiration from England, lots of Tudor style houses, plus street layout...😊🏡
Thanks for letting us know about New York city
Some of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen...property landscaping also so beautiful.
Love , love Jamaica estates I used to live there ♥️♥️

Growing Gravity is Science
Classic ⚡️
I'm pretty sure Douglaston has Jamaica Estates beat by at least one digit.
pretty neighborhood
Nah ...I still prefer Forest Hills Gardens 😎
You are just filming the road, basically..
❤
This is place where Donald Trump was born!
Ugh..
@@themaskedman221he grew up here look at it
Back on the day day,😂I believe kew Gardens was nice.
You're just showing the road.
You need to learn how to edit your videos. You lost me while you where waiting on the red lights.
way too much litter.
I thought Malba neighborhood was the richest …🤷🏻♀️
No way. Forest Hills is probably the wealthiest then Jamaica Estates and Douglaston.
This video mentioned richest neighborhoodS not richest neighborhood with no S
झाटु 😂
