📊 Why this data is more reliable than other sites

The numbers on this page come from the NYC Department of Finance public records — every legally recorded property sale in Arverne, not just MLS-listed transactions. Sites like Zillow and StreetEasy only capture listings that go through their platforms, missing FSBO sales, off-market deals, and transfers that never hit the MLS. This dataset includes all of them.

We also remove bulk portfolio transfers, nominal sales, and non-arms-length transactions that would distort median prices — cleaning that most data sources don't do. The result is a more accurate picture of what individual homes are actually selling for in your market.

Data source: NYC Department of Finance, Rolling Sales Data — Queens. Period: March 2025 – February 2026. Excludes $0 transfers, nominal sales, non-arms-length transactions, and bulk portfolio transfers identified through same-date/same-price pattern analysis. Last updated: March 2026.

Neighborhood Profile

Arverne, Queens at a Glance

Arverne is a beachfront neighborhood on the Rockaway Peninsula in southern Queens, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the south, Jamaica Bay to the north, Edgemere to the east, and Rockaway Park to the west. The housing stock includes single-family bungalows, two-family homes, and newer condominium developments that emerged from large-scale urban renewal projects. The neighborhood is served by the A train at Rockaway stations along the peninsula.

Once a popular seaside resort area in the early 20th century, Arverne experienced decades of decline before a major redevelopment initiative brought new townhouses and condominiums to formerly vacant lots along the waterfront. The Arverne by the Sea development transformed much of the neighborhood's coastline with market-rate and affordable housing. Residents enjoy direct beach access and proximity to the Gateway National Recreation Area.
