Far Rockaway

Queens at the eastern end of the peninsula.

Far Rockaway occupies the eastern portion of the Rockaway Peninsula, with residential streets, apartment developments, smaller houses, and commercial centers. Its built environment varies considerably across a substantial coastal area.

The Atlantic shoreline and connections toward Nassau County contribute to its wider setting. For a home search, the specific block, building type, and relationship to transit and the waterfront offer a clearer picture than a single neighborhood-wide description.
