Breezy Point Homes for Sale

Breezy Point sits on the western tip of the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens and is one of New York City's few private, gated communities. The neighborhood operates as a cooperative, where every homeowner is a shareholder in Breezy Point Cooperative, Inc.

In return, residents get private beaches, on-site security and volunteer fire and ambulance services, all covered by a monthly fee. The cooperative is made up of three communities: Breezy Point, Rockaway Point and Roxbury. Most homes are detached cottages and bungalows along sandy walks and avenues, with raised homes built after Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The median sale price is in the mid-$800,000s.
