Blending Brookville’s suburban ambiance with access to New York City
Brookville is a small neighborhood in southern Queens almost at the border of Long Island’s Nassau County; a position that shows in the streetscape and lifestyle that people living there enjoy. “People come to this part of Queens because it’s really residential – no big buildings and no trains. It has a suburban feel but it’s close to everything you need urban-wise,” says Vinny Thompson, a Realtor with Keller Williams Landmark II who’s specialized in the five boroughs and their surrounding suburbs for 10 years. In Brookville, residents are happy to trade having a little less access to public transportation to receive a little bit of extra lawn, easy access to suburban shopping malls and a lot more public green space to enjoy away from the New York City skyline.
Suburban blocks of prewar and midcentury homes
Brookville is laid out in long, suburban blocks lined by pocket-sized front lawns, narrow driveways and sidewalks and a medley of prewar and midcentury architecture. Some blocks are dominated by older National-style homes built in the 1920s and 1930s, while others are characterized by classic Cape Cods, Minimal Traditional and ranch-style homes built into the 1940s and 1950s. Attached homes are common in rowhouse and twin home configurations, selling for $570,000 to $775,000. Detached homes sell for $630,000 to $900,000. Entire duplexes that look similar to the neighborhood’s single-family dwellings, as well as rarer new construction, sell for $660,000 to $1.6 million, contributing to the community’s roughly even split between renters and homeowners.
Brookville's convenient location near highways and transportation options makes it an attractive place to live and work.
Brookville is a peaceful and serene neighborhood.

Brookville is surrounded by sprawling destination parks on all but one side. To the east, Springfield Park offers tranquil paths around its central pond, along with a playground-centered picnic pavilion and athletic courts. Idlewild Park makes up the neighborhoods southern border, where visitors can launch a kayak into salt marshes before paddling for Jamaica Bay or have a team practice on the cricket pitch or soccer field. Brookville Park is perhaps the most-utilized local park, and not just because it shares the neighborhood’s name.

It offers regular programming for kids to learn about the unique flora and fauna that call the marshes home, as well as special service day events like trail clean-ups.

Managing nuisance flooding and noise from JFK Airport
Although the state has worked to improve drainage near the salt marshes and roadways on Brookville’s southern border, roadways south of 147th Avenue may still flood after unusually heavy rain, and buyers may require flood insurance. A fact of life that’s less likely to change is the noise from John F. Kennedy International Airport, in the form of freight trucks parking or driving around Brookville as well as the audible, low-flying air traffic sounds. “It sounds corny, and I didn’t believe it until my father bought a place nearby, but you really don't hear them anymore after a while,” Thompson notes.
Although Brookville has undergone some considerable development over the years, residents work to protect the areas natural beauty.
Brookville is on the border of JFK International Airport.
