Edgemere Homes for Rent

Edgemere, located where the Rockaway peninsula meets mainland Queens, is a neighborhood undergoing significant transformation with new construction projects like Arverne East and Edgemere Commons. These developments are bringing more housing, shopping, and recreation options to this Atlantic Oceanfront area. The neighborhood features a mix of single- and multifamily homes, including bungalows, national style homes, and newer semi-detached townhouses. Residents have limited access to the ocean due to a fenced bird sanctuary, but the Arvern East Nature Preserve maximizes shore space, and nearby Arverne offers swimming and surfing opportunities. Rockaway Community Park on the north side includes a cricket field, and P.S. 105 has a playground. The community garden, Garden by the Bay, provides educational opportunities in plant growing. Local dining options include Beach Dunes Eats & Arts, which focuses on seasonally fresh ingredients, and Newway Supermarket for groceries. For nightlife, residents often visit nearby Arverne. The neighborhood is served by the A train, which has three stops in Edgemere and connects to the AirTrain for access to JFK Airport, and the QM17 express bus, both taking about an hour to reach Manhattan. Despite the risk of flooding, the Resilient Edgemere rezoning proposal aims to build coastal protection infrastructure, enhancing the neighborhood's resilience. Local students can attend the highly rated Queens High School for Information, Research & Technology in nearby Far Rockaway.
