Everything about South Jamaica Queens totally explained
South Jamaica, known
colloquially as
Southside, is a neighborhood in the
New York City borough of
Queens, located south of downtown
Jamaica, the
Long Island Rail Road tracks and Liberty Avenue. The western border is the
Van Wyck Expressway, and it continues in the east towards the neighboring community of
St. Albans and to
Merrick Boulevard. The neighborhood is part of
Queens Community Board 12.
South Jamaica is largely African American, with increasing numbers of Latin American and West Indies immigrants moving into the community in recent decades. Also, a small population of
Indians,
Pakistanis,
Bangladeshis,
Guyanese,
Haitians,
Trinidadians and
Russians live in this area. The area is largely a
working-class community consisting primarily of one and two-family houses and a number of smaller apartment buildings, along with some
public housing projects. The national real estate boom has provided for a haven of newly constructed multi-family homes. Currently, most of the homes that are for sale in the area were recently built.
York College, part of the
City University of New York system, is now located in the community. The new
AirTrain JFK route starts at the
Jamaica station and continues towards
JFK International Airport on its route elevated high over the Van Wyck Expressway.
The
Rochdale Village complex in the
Locust Manor neighborhood is part of South Jamaica.
