Brookville brings a suburban feel to southeast Queens

Brookville is a southeast Queens neighborhood near the Nassau County line, where residential blocks feel removed from the busier parts of the borough. You’ll find mostly low-rise homes with yards, along with plenty of green space at Brookville Park. There’s no subway station in the neighborhood, but nearby LIRR service, bus routes and major highways help keep residents connected. The suburban feel, outdoor space and access to both Queens and Long Island draw buyers looking for more room without leaving New York City.

More space in classic single-family and two-family homes

Residential blocks feature a mix of single- and two-family homes with driveways, small lawns and fenced-in backyards. Most are colonials or ranch-style homes dating from the early to mid-20th century. For buyers who want something more modern, newer two-family homes have popped up over the last decade. “People come to this part of Queens because it’s 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 Realty Landmark II who was born and raised in Queens.

Single-family homes typically sell from the mid-$600,000s to the lower $800,000s, while multifamily properties range from the upper $600,000s to around $1.5 million. Brookville’s median list price is in the mid-$700,000s, a bit lower than the boroughwide median and similar to what you’ll see in nearby neighborhoods like Springfield Gardens and Rosedale.

Residential streets give this Queens neighborhood a more suburban feel than many other parts of the borough.

Getting from Brookville to Manhattan by bus and train

Brookville has no subway or Long Island Rail Road station, so most residents get around by driving or taking the bus. Local bus routes, including the Q111, Q85 and Q86, serve the neighborhood and connect riders with nearby transit hubs. You can take the bus to the Laurelton and Rosedale LIRR stations, where Far Rockaway Branch trains provide service to Manhattan and Far Rockaway. Buses also connect to the Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer subway station in Central Jamaica, where E, J and Z trains provide service to Manhattan. Drivers are close to the Belt Parkway, and with John F. Kennedy International Airport just a few miles away, it’s not uncommon to see and hear planes overhead. “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 says.
