EAST ELMHURST — Where does Jackson Heights end and East Elmhurst begin?

DNAinfo New York is letting you decide: draw your own borders with our neighborhood map, sparking conversations on where various 'hoods start and finish. 

There aren't any official city-sanctioned boundaries, but some neighbors have already weighed in, following boundary lines that look pretty close to the generally accepted outlines.

Still, the debate rages on. Some map-makers expanded East Elmhurst all the way down to Roosevelt Avenue, while others decided East Elmhurst kicks in when a walk to the subway feels too far — like one neighborhood Tweeter suggested.

And where does North Corona technically start? As long as you don't call it NoCo, you can probably put it anywhere you'd like.

Test your neighborhood map-making skills with our map, and draw your own 'hoods.
