Rockaway Apartments for Rent
About Rockaway Neighborhood

Rockaway has a suburban, neighborhood-y feel with plenty of kids riding bikes and an intense calm emanating from the nearby ocean. Its homes are mostly two stories, with garages and lawns. The neighborhood has been described as a surfer’s paradise and an artists’ retreat, with houses and rents in a lower price range than much of NYC. The neighborhood has been revitalized since Hurricane Sandy, with new condominiums and a plethora of family-friendly restaurants, many boasting unique ethnic cuisines like Uzbeki and Peruvian. Residents with jobs in Manhattan will experience longer commute times, but some say this grants the area a “best of both worlds” bonus—it is both in the city and an oceanside retreat.
