I love many things about Jamaica Estates. I love the diversity in my neighborhood. There are many different restaurants nearby as well as public transportation. There are many stores to buy from. We also have a patrol neighborhood security car that goes around the neighborhood.
Jamaica Estates has changed over the years and now I would say this isn't the same neighborhood it used to be. Crime is rising and I always get alerts on my Citizen app of crime that is happening nearby. Rent is very expensive and continues to rise, even for my studio apartment. There are many homeless people in the neighborhood. I am between the millionaire neighborhood and the lower-income neighborhood. It's not the cleanest and I feel sanitation needs to take the cleanness of the neighborhood more seriously.

Jamaica Estates is very safe compared to many other neighborhoods. Quiet, green, peaceful, great for families.
I've lived here for 32 years, and went to school in the neighborhood. My children use to go to school in the area as well but unfortunately, the neighborhood is getting bad so we decided to move.
