Bergen Beach Homes for Rent

Bergen Beach, located on the southeastern edge of Brooklyn, is a quiet residential neighborhood on a peninsula in Jamaica Bay. Known for its privacy and suburban feel, the area features tree-lined streets and spacious backyards. The neighborhood primarily consists of 20th-century single-family and two-family homes, with modest Capes and larger custom homes available. Bergen Beach is accessible by bus or car, with the nearest subway several miles away. P.S. 312 Bergen Beach is a highly rated public pre-K and elementary school, and James Madison High School in nearby Madison also boasts high ratings. Local highlights include McGuire Fields, which features a roller hockey rink, beach volleyball court, baseball diamonds, football field, and tennis courts. Bergen Beach Playground and Hickman Playground offer additional recreational facilities, while Paerdegat Basin Park provides hiking trails and kayak launches. The Jamaica Bay Riding Academy offers equestrian activities within a private wildlife preserve. Dining options include popular Italian eateries like Il Posto and chain restaurants at the Georgetowne shopping center. Grocery needs can be met at Food Way or nearby Key Food. While the neighborhood is car-friendly with ample parking, it is at extreme risk for flooding, as evidenced by the impact of Hurricane Sandy.
