A history of Black music legends in an urban residential setting
The musical legacy of this small Southeast Queens community is formidable and continues to draw people to the area. Previous residents include jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, James Brown and John Coltrane, as well as hip-hop pioneers LL Cool J and members of A Tribe Called Quest. “The roots are still there,” says Chatter Singh, a Queens native and real estate agent for Keller Williams Liberty. “Folks have been there 40, 50, 60 years. It’s a multi-generational community.” The St. Albans Community Living Center, a veterans hospital, is also integral to this proud and historically minded community.
The musical legacy of Saint Albans community is formidable and continues to draw new people.

Large lots and a historic district
“The beauty of St. Albans is that it has larger-sized lots compared to other areas of Queens,” says Singh. “You have more garages and larger homes, more reasonably priced.” The majority of the homes in the area are single-family properties, thanks to rezoning that discourages housing density. Homes include colonials, Cape Cods and Tudors, many of them three-bedrooms, with prices ranging from $575,000 to $800,000. Colonial Revival and Tudor-style homes in the subdivision of Addisleigh Park, recently designated a historic locale by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, date to the 1930s and list for about $800,000 to $1 million. Distressed properties in St. Albans can be bought for around $500,000. "Home prices in this area can be really far apart, because of location," says Michele Cheng, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty. "It's at the intersection of a bunch of different lifestyles in Queens."
Older tudor style homes made of brick can be found throughout St Albans.

Jamaican food, a small theater and a big arena
Jamaican and Caribbean cuisine are staples here, and popular restaurants include Fishnet and The Smokehouse. Korean and Chinese food is also available. John’s Farm Market on Farmers Boulevard sells groceries and Earnest Foods is a locally-owned organic and natural grocery store. Founded in 1970, the Black Spectrum Theatre in Roy Wilkins Park performs socially conscious plays for the community. The UBS Arena in nearby Elmont opened in 2021 and hosts concerts, events and is the home of the New York Islanders. In addition to offering entertainment options, Singh credits the venue with bringing jobs to the area and raising property values.

There were few incidents a couple of years ago with shootings nearby, and pervs trying to hit on every girl they take interest in. But those people are always claiming they're from out of town. The police are always driving around every once in a while and I'd deem this area pretty well secured. In the past, call for help, and they took a little too long to arrive, but it's been relatively okay.
