For nearly a century, the historic community of Jackson Heights in Queens has maintained its acres of shared interior courtyards: green spaces that range from open lawns to planted gardens to shaded canopies of ivy-clad trees. Throughout the Great Depression and the post-WWII building boom, Jackson Heights' residents fought to hold on to their numerous sanctuaries of grass, trees, and gardens in the midst of a city where high property values create an intense pressure to develop any available open space.
