Close to transportation and beaches in Inwood

On Long Island’s South Shore, the Inwood neighborhood keeps recreation close to home. Spacious homes fill the streets, with a private golf course in the north, Jamaica Bay to the west and beaches in the south. “I grew up here, and I own a few properties in addition to being a local broker,” says Giovanni Curra, an associate broker with Fresh Start Properties Inc. who specializes in the area. “Inwood is primarily residential properties with some commercial. There's a short commute to Manhattan with the Long Island Rail Road, and that's a big selling point.” Not to mention, multiple local restaurants and big box stores are easy to reach. This pocket of homes continues to be a popular spot to live, relax and shop.

Inwood Country Club and Inwood Park

Inwood Country Club is a private 18-hole golf course that’s been the site of the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship and the PGA Tour. The club also has a popular tennis program and a private beach club in Atlantic Beach, 4 miles south of the course. “Inwood Country Club is a prestigious country club known by a lot of people. You're also five minutes from Atlantic Beach and Rockaway Beach.” Inwood Park is 16 acres of green space on a peninsula jutting out into the waters of Jamaica Bay. The park is also the meeting spot at the end of the Inwood Memorial Day Parade every year. Fishing enthusiasts who want to boat out onto the water need a leisure pass. The park is also a popular spot to watch sunsets or planes coming and going from JFK International Airport. The softball field doubles as a football and soccer field as needed, and the roller rink is open from April to November. The Five Towns Community Center is off Lawrence Avenue and connects residents with after-school services, volunteer opportunities and health programs.

Taking the LIRR or traveling to JFK Airport

Inwood has Jamaica Bay to the west and the rest of the Five Towns area to the east. The Nassau Expressway flows down the middle and connects locals to Rockaway Beach in the south, while Rockaway Turnpike runs north to John F. Kennedy International Airport. “It’s convenient having JFK Airport 10 minutes away,” Curra says. “You hear plane noise, but that’s the norm around here. You can look up and see planes flying.” Commuters heading to Manhattan get to work in roughly 50 minutes with the Long Island Rail Road, starting by catching the train at Inwood station. There are no places of worship within the Inwood neighborhood, but some are within walking distance, including Temple Israel and Congregation Shaaray Tefila.

Inwood ranks at #7 of 389 most diverse suburbs in New York.

Inwood's single-family homes start at $545,000

Most homes in Inwood are single-family with moderate yards, uncovered parking and around 2,000 square feet. Those with four bedrooms can range from $545,000 to $875,000, while larger homes can sell for $875,000 to $1 million. It's easy to spot split-levels, raised ranches and Colonial Revivals with brick steps that lead up to front entrances. Some were built in the late 1890s and 1950s, but some were constructed in the 2000s. Streets in this bayside neighborhood are wide, with paved sidewalks and no high-rise buildings to obstruct views of the sunset. The occasional tree shades the sidewalks.

Inwood is located in southeast New York on the border of Queens and Nassau County.

Shopping and dining close to home in Inwood

The Nassau Expressway leads past the Target and Costco Wholesale to the Five Towns Shopping Center, five minutes from home. Those who don’t need bulk groceries shop at KolSave Market or Seasons kosher supermarket in Lawrence. There are also popular nearby restaurants for dining out, like Lucky Boy, which has a Greek menu. Ahuva’s Grill Expressway in Lawrence specializes in Yemenite Israeli cuisine, including shawarma, kebabs and soups made with kosher ingredients. Perhaps the most famous restaurant in Inwood is the Sherwood Diner, which has been in operation for over 50 years with classic American dishes and a bar. This diner is where infamous mobsters Henry Hill and Jimmy Burke would dine together. One such breakfast between the pair was famously dramatized by Martin Scorsese in his 1990 epic, “Goodfellas,” which starred Ray Liotta as Hill and Robert DeNiro as Burke.

Five Towns Shopping Center has a mix of big-box stores and smaller businesses.

I love living in Inwood. Even though the apartments aren't spacious and it's literally the heart of "city life," it's also the heart of culture. You see people of all different races around here, food of all sorts of kinds and it's a very friendly community. The summer is always active here in uptown.
