Trump's Home Neighborhood: Jamaica Estates
Jamaica, Queens, NY 11432
Donald Trump spent the first twelve years of his life in the Jamaica Estates neighborhood. The affluent area was developed on 500 acres of land purchased in 1907 by developers Ernestus Gulick and Felix Isman. Gulick and Isman's early partners included Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff and NYC engineer and contractor Michael J. Gegnon. The Elizabethan entry lodge and gatehouse was designed by John J. Petit. The street system, with Midland Parkway as the centerpiece, was designed by landscape architect Charles W. Leavitt.
