About the neighborhood
Southside pride in Queens
Locals call it Southside. South Jamaica sits just south of downtown Jamaica, its blocks a patchwork of brick rowhouses, early-twentieth-century single-family homes, mid-century apartment buildings, and public housing complexes like the South Jamaica Houses and Baisley Park Houses. The name traces to an early word meaning beaver, a reminder that creeks and meadows preceded the city grid.
Merrick, Linden, and Guy R. Brewer Boulevards carry the shops and daily errands, many of them family-owned, and block associations remain active. Baisley Pond Park and Roy Wilkins Park handle picnics, festivals, and youth sports. The AirTrain to JFK and the Van Wyck Expressway run close by, keeping the neighborhood connected; it has long drawn buyers looking to own a home.
