Jamaica Estates
Jamaica Estates offers a wide variety of detached, single-family homes, from older, smaller frame homes to distinctive English Tudor "mini-castles." Many new homes have been built on teardown sites, taking advantage of the larger lots in this area. Prices range from $700,000 for small colonials on the Eastern end, up to $2 million for newer, larger homes and McMansions.
