Queens homes with architectural style and elbow room

Rochdale often feels more like Long Island than New York City. “The community has done a good job of keeping zoning to single family homes, despite growth,” says Queens-bred Chatter Singh, a real estate agent with Keller Williams Liberty. Big Victorians on ample lots are selling between $600,000 and $800,000. Some streets are bisected by medians planted with Ginkgo trees, giving the neighborhood a more spacious feel. Boxy midcentury split-level homes with five or more bedrooms are listed from $1 million to $1.5 million. Most homes have their own driveways, but parking in Rochdale is a breeze, just like the weather.

Commuter's haven

With wide lawns and quiet streets, an on ramp to the Belt Parkway and a stop on the Long Island Rail Road within walking distance, Rochdale is a commuter’s haven. But with Far Rockaway Beach under 30 minutes away by car and John F. Kennedy Airport just over a mile to the south, residents of this small neighborhood in Southeast Queens can get away just as easily as they can get to work.The Locust Manor station of the Long Island Rail Road is next door to Gwen Ifill Park and only one stop away from the transportation hub of Jamaica Center where travelers can catch the Air Train to JFK or the subway to Manhattan. Downtown New York City is only 45 minutes from Rochdale by train and subway, which makes its faster than driving. Residents of Rochdale get a little bit of Queens and a lot of Long Island for a relatively low cost.
