Broad Channel

A small community surrounded by the bay.

Broad Channel occupies an island setting within Jamaica Bay, with low-rise homes and streets closely connected to the surrounding water. Some properties face canals, while others line the neighborhood’s interior blocks.

Cross Bay Boulevard links the community with the mainland and the Rockaway Peninsula. The nearby Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge adds a broad natural landscape, making waterways, street layout, and the exact position of each home central to the local setting.
