The neighborhood is the only inhabited island in Jamaica Bay and one of the most isolated residential communities in New York City. Housing is dominated by detached single-family homes, many built on stilts or platforms because of the area's vulnerability to flooding.

Broad Channel is served by the A train at the Broad Channel station and by bus routes connecting to Howard Beach and the Rockaways. The neighborhood is surrounded by the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, part of Gateway National Recreation Area, and has historically been a tight-knit community of mostly Irish-American families. Broad Channel suffered significant damage during Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
