About Dunolly Gardens
Built in 1939 in the Art Moderne style and designed by renowned architect Andrew J. Thomas, Dunolly Gardens was the last garden apartment complex constructed in the Jackson Heights Historic District. It is also the only garden complex in the district to occupy an entire city block, extending from 34th to 35th Avenue.

At the heart of Dunolly Gardens is its magnificent, block-long landscaped garden, a peaceful green oasis in the middle of the city. Winding pathways, inviting benches, mature plantings, and a cherry tree-lined inner courtyard with outdoor dining tables create wonderful spaces to relax, read, socialize, or enjoy a meal outdoors.

Inspired by London’s Garden City Movement, Andrew J. Thomas was a pioneering architect responsible for several of Jackson Heights’ most distinguished residential complexes, including The Chateau, The Towers, and Dunolly Gardens.

Residents enjoy on-site management, a live-in superintendent, and porters, along with elevators, laundry facilities, a party room, bicycle storage, and storage rooms. The beautifully maintained garden is a centerpiece of community life, hosting seasonal decorations, holiday celebrations, and the neighborhood’s celebrated annual garden tour. Please note that a monthly $305.28 assessment is in place.
