The Jackson Heights Beautification Group (JHBG) is a grassroots community organization of people who live and work in Jackson Heights and care enough to help make Jackson Heights one of the best neighborhoods in Queens and New York City. JHBG was established in 1988 and is a 501(C)-3 nonprofit organization.

JHBG supports: high standards; preservation; local pride; diversity; inclusion; cleanliness; greenery; civility; local schools, institutions, and merchants; and anything that enhances Jackson Heights.

JHBG opposes: graffiti; litter; crime; pollution; disorder; intolerance; landmark violations; noise; and apathy.

Historic Jackson Heights was planned in the early 1900s as a suburb in the city. It still offers gracious living with city flair. Our landmark housing reminds some people of the big, airy Upper West Side apartments, but in smaller-scale buildings surrounded by lush gardens.

Our public, private, and parochial schools are excellent. We are in the geographical center of New York City, just five miles from midtown Manhattan. Jackson Heights has easy access to major roadways; the 7, E, F, G, R, and V subway lines; and various bus routes, including direct lines to LaGuardia Airport and Penn Station (via the Queensboro Bridge to Fifth Avenue).

Our safe and vibrant neighborhood is perhaps the most diverse place in the world. Here everyone is welcome and everyone is encouraged to contribute to building the best possible community.
