Not any time soon, in fact many yuppies who moved there more than likely will leave after 1-2 yrs because the area is still too heavily dominated by hispanics. Many of them own properties that will only rent to Hispanics and the businesses around still caters to the local clientale.
Soon some yuppies will get sick and tired of being jam packed into trains full of people they have no desire to be near. I see places like Rego Park as a better location for yuppies.
Isn't it in a way already? Check out the prices of the coop apt's in the Historic area. Look at MPC properties. I think the area is pretty much gonna stay the way it is. People with cash buying in the historic area. New South American immigrants to the attached homes and cheaper apt buildings. The area right now is home to a very large gay community but it's been that way for a very long time. Families moving there like Park Slope? I don't think that's gonna happen. Not enough green space and the schools are not highly rated. Remember the yuppie/transplant parents in Park Slope, Clinton Hill, Ft Greene, and Boreum Hill do not utilize Catholic schools. They want good/great public schools. Google some of the fights in Park Slope over getting little Johnny into a certain Pre K. IMO.
There is green space with the courtyards. They are private and not visible from the street.

I know but you have to be a resident of the coop to access it. Plus heard some cranky neighbors don't like kids running on the grass???? Not saying that's every coop but just heard from people that live there.

The people moving in with children seem very happy with the green space available and with the expansion of many playgrounds in the area. How many neighborhoods in the city have tons of green space anyway?

No question some areas are better then others. The times I have been to JH just haven't been impressed with the public green space. I get the private gardens. Back to the OP's question, I think not having the public green space hurts the area becoming something like those Brooklyn areas. Hey, not many areas can compete with Prospect Park.
Flushing Meadows Corona Park isn't too far away from Jackson Heights. A short ride on the 7 train or one can walk or bike there (and it wouldn't take too long).
There are houses in Jackson Heights if one wants yard space for green space.
