Getting aroundPublic transit into central Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan relies heavily on the MTA A train subway line, with travel times to Midtown or lower Manhattan often taking an hour or more. Residents also utilize the NYC Ferry landing at Beach 108th Street, which provides a 45-minute water route to Wall Street's Pier 11. Local surface travel depends on MTA bus lines, which residents report can become crowded during peak hours.

Living in Far Rockaway

Far Rockaway offers healthcare workers an uncommon coastal living experience nestled entirely within the boundaries of New York City. Anchoring the eastern side of the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, it delivers immediate access to an uninterrupted 5.5-mile oceanfront stretching past Beach 149th Street. Post-shift routines can include morning runs along the Rockaway Boardwalk, catching waves with Skudin Surf, or enjoying fish tacos at Tacoway Beach. On weekends, residents explore the bunker-dotted dunes of Fort Tilden, birding trails at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, or live music at The Rockaway Hotel. Housing options range from established apartment complexes like Wavecrest in Far Rockaway proper to newer coastal builds in neighboring Arverne By The Sea. Relocating nurses must weigh clear logistical realities: the A train subway commute into central Manhattan or outer-borough facilities regularly takes an hour or more, winter brings freezing coastal gusts, and retail options can feel sparse. For nurses seeking saltwater air and community living without fully leaving NYC transit, Far Rockaway provides a distinct seaside niche.
