Far Rockaway Real Estate: Rent, Sell, Manage & Invest
Far Rockaway is the easternmost neighborhood on the Rockaway peninsula, a diverse, working community where ocean beaches meet Jamaica Bay. NY Online Realty helps you rent, sell, manage, or invest across this changing corner of Queens.
Living in Far Rockaway
Far Rockaway is a genuine mix of communities — a large Orthodox Jewish population, Caribbean and Latino families and long-established homeowners — spread across the eastern end of the peninsula between the Atlantic and Jamaica Bay. The commercial core clusters around Mott Avenue, and the beach is never far, with wide sand and a boardwalk stretching west.
The A train's Far Rockaway branch terminates at Mott Avenue and the LIRR Far Rockaway Branch also serves the area, though the subway ride to Manhattan runs well over an hour. Housing ranges from beach bungalows and older frame houses to apartment buildings and newer affordable developments, and prices remain among the more accessible on the peninsula.
The Far Rockaway market, in plain terms
Far Rockaway is one of the more affordable footholds on the peninsula, with an active mix of sales and rentals. Single- and multi-family homes trade among local families and investors, and demand is supported by ongoing redevelopment and the neighborhood's beach access. Rentals lease steadily thanks to a large and varied resident base.
