St Albans Queens, NY

Southeastern Queens' St. Albans neighborhood, former home to such talent as Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, and Count Basie, lies just two miles from JFK airport. Locals enjoy easy airport access and close proximity to the Jamaica subway and bus platforms. The neighborhood offers a smorgasbord of culinary choices. Living in St. Albans, you'll soon be dining on platters of jerk chicken and genuine Jamaican dishes at B and R Spice or noshing on authentic Pakistani and Middle Eastern delights at the B.B.Q. Village Palace. Rezoning laws and a recent historic designation created a community around the Addisleigh Park section, a collection of 650 homes and rental apartments near the area's musician and artist communities. This small enclave features homes built around 1900 and consists of beautifully-maintained Tudor and Colonial style homes.
