Rockaway Park Homes for Rent

Rockaway Park in Queens has seen significant growth, partly due to the new ferry line from Pier 11 on Wall Street and the post-Hurricane Sandy revitalization. The neighborhood is now a popular surfing destination, attracting a younger demographic. Rockaway Beach and Boardwalk are central attractions, offering waterfront views, concessions, and the closest surfing beach in the area. Tribute Park provides a quieter alternative with picnic areas and gardens. The Rockaway Hotel hosts various events, including the annual Rockaway Saint Patrick’s Day Parade. Housing in Rockaway Park includes a mix of renovated older homes and new condos, with many properties featuring small front yards and proximity to the beach. Beach 116th Street is the main shopping and dining hub, with notable spots like The Wharf and Tacoway Beach nearby. For nightlife, Connolly's Bar is a local favorite. The neighborhood is served by PS/MS 114 Belle Harbor School and the highly-rated Scholar’s Academy. The Rockaway Park-Beach 116 St Metro station offers convenient access to downtown, and JFK International Airport is 10 miles away. While the area enjoys low crime rates compared to the national average, residents must consider flood risks, necessitating flood insurance for many homes.
