For years, the media has been heralding the rebirth of the Rockaways—a beachfront neighborhood in southwest Queens. Now it seems that aspiration has reached critical mass, with lots of new developments with amenities, ferry access (which can get you to Wall Street in about an hour), and new restaurants, making this very much a year-round community.
A number of high-end buildings have gone up, including The Marcal Group’s One Sixteen, an 86-unit condo complex with a lounge, a 1,200-square-foot fitness center, and a 4,600-square-foot roof deck; and The Tides, a luxury rental building with a pool on the roof, private parking, bike storage, and a clubhouse. A 93-unit rental building is currently under construction at 6804 Tides Rd. and is expected to open later this year.
New bars and eateries have also entered the scene. The Rockaway Brewing Company serves pints in a cool warehouse space in Arverne. And locals buy their coffee and pastries at the new-ish Rockaway Beach Bakery in Far Rockaway.
Locals also enjoy a 45,000-square-foot YMCA that opened its doors in 2014; Edgemere Market, a produce stand connected to a farm in neighboring Edgemere; and the Rockaway Summer House, a retreat center run by monks that offers free meditation, yoga, reiki, urban farming workshops, art programs, and more.
If all that sounds good to you, here are four one bedrooms that can be yours in new buildings in the Rockaways for under $2,300 a month.
