About the neighborhood
Quiet blocks with famous names
Malcolm X, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Langston Hughes all made their homes in East Elmhurst, a measure of the neighborhood's standing by the mid-twentieth century. The blocks themselves are modest and well kept: brick and stucco houses from the mid-1900s with small patches of green, on land that was once tidal meadow and farmland along Flushing Bay.
LaGuardia Airport and the expressways sit at the edges, yet the interior stays quiet and residential. Astoria Boulevard, Ditmars Boulevard, and 25th Avenue hold the family-run restaurants and groceries, and the Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center keeps the literary heritage present. Civic associations and local institutions still do much of the social work, from block parties to afterschool programs.
