'''Jamaica Hills''' is a small [[middle class]] neighborhood in the [[New York City]] [[Borough (New York City)|borough]] of [[Queens]]. The neighborhood is surrounded by [[Hillcrest, Queens|Hillcrest]] (at the [[Grand Central Parkway]] to the north), [[Jamaica Estates, Queens|Jamaica Estates]] (at Homelawn Street, a continuation of [[Utopia Parkway (Queens)|Utopia Parkway]], to the east), [[Jamaica, Queens|Jamaica]] (at [[Hillside Avenue]] to the south), and [[Briarwood, Queens|Briarwood]] (at [[Parsons Boulevard]] to the west). It is centered on the [[terminal moraine]] that runs the length of [[Long Island]]. Originally populated with people who left neighborhoods under ethnic transition, Jamaica Hills started to become more ethnically diverse after 1964. The population today is very mixed with a large [[South Asia]]n population and smaller populations from the [[Caribbean]], [[Central America]], and [[China]]. Because of the opening of a Greek Orthodox church in the 1960s, many Greek immigrants also live in the area. Jamaica Hills is patrolled by the [[New York City Police Department]]'s 107th Precinct.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/29/realestate/29living.html|title=A Singular Place With Plural Ethnicities|last=Beyer|first=Gregory|date=2010-08-27|work=The New York Times|access-date=2020-01-23|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
