Far Rockaway is a neighborhood in Queens, New York right at the border between NYC and Nassau County. Despite that, the neighborhood and its iconic Rockaway Beach are not far, not hard to reach; the town’s accessible by the A Line of the NYC subway, the LIRR (Long Island Railroad), and multiple bus lines. It’s a densely populated area with a very diverse population, yet it’s close to beautiful parks and the Jamaica Beach Wildlife Refuge. Residents appreciate the short commute to Manhattan, the large amount of green space, and the more affordable housing costs.
Though Far Rockaway is cheaper than other Queens neighborhoods, it still has high rents. The average rent on a one-bedroom apartment is $2,124, up 22% over 2021. The median home price is $670K up 24% from 2021.
That’s why you should keep self-storage in mind for your Far Rockaway move. It’s not hard to find a facility close to home and even in NYC, you’ll be surprised how affordable it can be. If you’re thinking of a move to Far Rockaway, let self-storage make it cheaper and easier.
