Broad Channel Real Estate
Tourists from all over -- including Europeans, Manahattanites, and even Californians -- have had occasion to wonder into the alluring Borough of Queens. For sports fans, perhaps it was a trip to Citi Field to catch a NY met game; or saunter into it’s thriving artistic hub, place to such attractions as the Noguchi Museum, Socrates Sculpture Park, SculptureCenter and the Museum of Modern Art. Maybe they happened upon a bit of shopping on Roosevelt Avenue or 74th, or drawn into a bit of exquisite dining at any one of the diverse cultural eateries.
But few house hunters might actually consider it a permanent residence and instead preferring real estate in a more quaint and tranquil area. Continue on the A-train, over one of the bridges that connect to Queens, to just about where the train ends. One stop before Rockaway Peninsula and you reach Broad Channel real estate, an Island in the middle of Jamaica Bay and home to many policemen, firemen, and EMS employees.
You’re as likely to find a boat or two parked outside Broad Channel real estate as you are to find a car. It’s a province of many species of birds, including seagulls, and a rather unique insular neighborhood. Insulated, yet still connected to urban areas, which features a subway stop, unlike other neighborhoods, and its own boulevard, one of the main arteries that carries traffic to and fro the mainland.
Boat rentals, fishing and swimming in the canals and the bay is the order of the day during the summers. Walk just north or take a bike cruise on the bike path along thickets of reed grass, Virginia creeper, goldenrod and Pennsylvania smartweed. Then cut across the main boulevard and you’ll enter the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, just before West Pond, where you’ll find a bird lover’s delight, with species ranging from scaups, ruddies, American widgeons Northern pintails, and gadwalls, in addition to flocks of snow Geese in the winter.
Broad Channel real estate prices have inched up just a bit only because the city is adding services and amenities from libraries, schools, and sewer lines to a neighborhood park. But there is still not a lot of turnover, so property is very affordable and property taxes still very low.
