Suburban-style housing with a Queens zip code
Rosedale sits on the border of Queens and Long Island, representing both districts in different ways. The residential streets lined with two-story brick and vinyl-sided houses are straight out of suburban Long Island, as is the Rosedale Long Island Rail Road station and lack of subway access. Yet proximity to JFK International Airport, an express bus into Manhattan and a range of Caribbean restaurants, along with the headquarters of the Caribbean American Society of New York, give Rosedale a city-like character. “You’re right on the Queens and Nassau border, but you can jump on the LIRR and be at Penn Station in 15 minutes,” says Arthur Briscoe, who has been living and selling homes in Rosedale since 1992. “It’s kind of a transition neighborhood for a lot of folks moving from Brooklyn.” New Yorkers looking for a single-family home under $1 million may find the ideal scenario in Rosedale.
Queens is located in Queens Community District 13.
Rosedale public schools are operated by the New York City Department of Education.

Single- and multifamily homes under $1 million
Single-family homes and duplexes make up most of Rosedale’s housing stock, and they nearly all include a driveway and garage. These houses employ simple construction styles such as ranch, Cape Cod and colonial, and are priced from $500,000 to $800,000. Larger multifamily homes with six to eight bedrooms, as well as a small number of estate-style properties, can go up to $1.5 million. There are also several sets of brick rowhouses priced around $675,000. According to Briscoe, lower property taxes also make Rosedale more attractive than nearby Long Island. “The average taxes here are around $5,000 annually for a single-family house and around $8,000 to $9,000 for a multifamily. But if you go into Nassau County, the property tax starts at $9,500 and up.”
Tudor style homes are sprinkled throughout Rosedale.
Multifamily homes are available to live in Rosedale.
