Buyer's guide: Far Rockaway
Far Rockaway is a seaside neighbourhood at the eastern end of the Rockaway peninsula in Queens, New York City, and its 51 listings have a median asking price of €648,132. Apartments are the biggest group, but a surprising share of the listings are large multi-bedroom houses.
Asking prices from current RealEstateAbroad listings, converted to euros.
| Indicator | Far Rockaway |
|---|---|
| Median ask | €648,132 |
| p25 to p75 | €578,402 to €804,576 |
| Price per m² | €4,243 |
| Median size | 186 m² |
| Listings | 51 |
There are 29 apartments, 19 houses and 3 plots. Many listings count five or more bedrooms (27), reflecting multi-unit buildings, while only a handful are one- or two-bedroom homes. The size of 186 m² confirms that large buildings pull up the median.
Compare with apartments in the US and houses.
Far Rockaway has an ocean beach, boardwalk areas and rail connections: the A train and the Long Island Rail Road both serve the area, though the trip to Manhattan is long. Prices are lower than in Brooklyn and western Queens, which draws buyers who value the beach and larger lots. Hurricane Sandy showed the flood exposure of the peninsula, so ask about flood zones, elevation and insurance for any address.
Foreigners can buy in New York without restriction. Many apartments are co-ops, which require board approval and may restrict non-residents or investors, while condos are easier to buy. Closing costs include a mortgage recording tax, title insurance and transfer taxes; get a New York attorney. Property tax in New York City is relatively low as a share of value but varies by building class.

Valley Stream lies just over the county line, and Howard Beach, Ozone Park, South Ozone Park and Jamaica are elsewhere in Queens. Queens borough as a whole is listed too. See the US overview.

They are legally open to foreign buyers, but co-op boards set their own financial and residency rules and can decline applicants. Condos are usually easier for non-residents, so ask the agent about the building type early.
Parts of the peninsula are in flood zones. Check insurance quotes.
Multi-unit buildings are counted by total bedrooms across all units, so a three-family house may appear as a large home. Check the unit layout and the legal status of each apartment.
Roughly an hour or more by subway or rail, depending on your destination and time of day. Test the commute before you commit.
