Broad Channel is a neighborhood in Queens nestled on an island in Jamaica Bay. This narrow community stretches across a mile featuring cottage-like houses, beach homes on stilts, and waterfront apartments, making it feel more like a beach town than an urban New York City district. Broad Channel is also home to the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, a large bird sanctuary that is also great for kayaking, biking, and cross-country skiing. Completely surrounded by water, Broad Channel is predominantly residential and you’ll find residents and other New Yorkers from across the city driving down to Rockaway Beach for dining, shopping, and nightlife options. Sunbathe at Rockaway Beach, eat delicious arepas at the Caracas Arepa Bar, and the night at Liquid Beer, a laid-back bear garden with Jenga and cornhole — these are just a few of the spots you’ll have access to while renting in Broad Channel. Traveling down to the beach or to the rest of the Big Apple is easy with two subway stations in town.
