Sunnyside Gardens

Sub-neighborhood in Sunnyside · Queens

Sunnyside Gardens is a landmark planned community of roughly 600 Hudson brick homes built between 1924 and 1928 across 16 blocks in northwestern Queens, designed by architects Clarence Stein and Henry Wright as one of America's earliest garden city experiments, with shared rear gardens and one of only two private parks in New York City. Designated a New York City landmark in 2007 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984, it remains one of the most architecturally intact planned communities in the country, though the Great Depression forced about 60% of its original residents into foreclosure.
