East Rockaway

A village beside the waterways.

East Rockaway combines a compact village center with residential streets and a waterfront history tied to the area’s creeks and bays. Main Street and the surrounding blocks provide a local focus within southwestern Nassau.

Older houses, later homes, and apartment buildings create a varied residential collection. The village changes in scale between its commercial center and the streets nearer the water. That combination of everyday village life and maritime roots gives East Rockaway its character.
