Designed in 1938 by Andrew J. Thomas, Dunolly Gardens was the last garden complex built in the Jackson Heights Historic District and the only one to occupy an entire block, including both avenue ends. Thomas was a pioneering architect in the district responsible for The Chateau and The Towers and the Moderne design of Dunolly Gardens, providing notable bookends to the garden apartment era. Today, Dunolly Gardens residents enjoy on-site management, a live-in superintendent and porters, elevators, a party room, laundry, storage, a bike room and a beloved, block-long landscaped garden where neighbors decorate for holidays, hold celebrations and enjoy meals together.
From this fantastic Jackson Heights location, you're just inches from renovated Travers Park, featuring a playground, sports courts and a wonderful year-round greenmarket. Outstanding shopping, dining and nightlife destinations fill the nearby streets, and world-class recreation, sports and entertainment await at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, the USTA Tennis Center, Citi Field and the upcoming New York Football Club stadium complex. Nearby 7, E, R and F/M trains, excellent bus service, the BQE and LaGuardia provide easy access to the rest of the city or wherever your travels may take you.
