Bellerose Terrace is a convenient neighborhood bordering Queens
Along the Queens border on Long Island, Bellerose Terrace is a Nassau County community where row houses and sidewalks line the streets. While the neighborhood is small geographically—it spans just 0.13 square miles—around 2,300 people call it home. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance, and access to the Cross Island Parkway and the Long Island Railroad make this a convenient spot for families and commuters. “Everything is nearby,” says Lata Awon, an associate broker with Compass Greater NY LLC, who has sold many homes in the area. “People like how easy it is to access transportation in this area.”

Row homes with lower prices than nearby Queens
Bellerose Terrace’s detached row houses line gridded streets. “They’re condensed, like in Queens,” Awon says. Mature trees dot front lawns, and sidewalks run throughout the neighborhood. Lots are small – typically under 1,500 square feet – and usually feature yards and screened-in front porches. Prices can range from $570,000 to $980,000, depending on the home’s size, age and condition. Since the neighborhood is in Nassau County, home prices are slightly lower than next door in Queens; however, property taxes are higher.

Access to Cross Island Parkway and Long Island Railroad
Transportation options surround Bellerose Terrace. The Cross Island Parkway cuts through the center of the community and can lead drivers to Manhattan. The Long Island Railroad’s Elmont-UBS Arena station sits along the neighborhood’s southern border and can lead into the city center and throughout Long Island. The highway and train tracks can affect this area’s walkability; however, Awon says that accessibility is a draw. “Some people work in the city, so being able to commute without driving any deeper is a draw,” she says. “You have access to the highway, train and buses.” Buses along Jamaica Avenue can lead throughout the area. For air travel, John F. Kennedy International Airport is about 9 miles south.
