A Beachside Community in Transition

Seaside is a small sub-neighborhood of the Rockaways, sandwiched between Rockaway Park and Rockaway Beach. It is often considered part of the broader Rockaway Beach area but retains its own identity as a dense, mixed-income community near the water.

Real Estate & Housing Market

Housing here is a mix of mid-rise apartment buildings, smaller multi-family homes, and some new developments. It is generally more affordable than the trendy surf blocks to the east or the grand homes of Rockaway Park to the west.

Lifestyle & Community

Seaside is vibrant and diverse. It is home to a mix of long-time locals and newer residents drawn by the ocean. The boardwalk is the community's backyard. It is lively in the summer and quieter, though wind-swept, in the winter.

Transportation & Accessibility

It is served by the A train at Beach 105th St. The ferry shuttle also services this area, providing a scenic route to Manhattan. It sits right on Rockaway Beach Boulevard, the peninsula's main artery.

Parks, Schools & Amenities

Access to the beach is the primary perk. The newly rebuilt boardwalk is perfect for cycling and running. There are local convenience stores and casual eateries, but major shopping requires a short trip east or west.

Who This Neighborhood Is Best For

Seaside is best for renters looking for beach access on a budget, and those who want to be part of the Rockaway renaissance without the premium price tag.
