Bellerose, New York City — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Bellerose?

Bellerose reads as fields meeting grandstands. The Queens County Farm Museum keeps its barns and growing rows on one flank, while Belmont Park lays out its long racecourse and the UBS Arena rises beside it as the district's newest draw within New York City. An older civic line runs through the low houses as well, where the Church of St. Philip and St. James still gathers the neighbourhood on a quieter street.

That parish edge grounds it. Together these four anchors give Bellerose a spine a visitor can cross on foot, from working pasture to raceway to arena, across a single unhurried afternoon.

What is the history of Bellerose?

Bellerose filled in as a residential quarter on the spreading map of New York City. Farmland gave way to streets, though the Queens County Farm Museum kept a strip of pasture intact while the Church of St. Philip and St. James marked a civic anchor among the new houses that rose along the district's lanes. Racing arrived early.

Belmont Park drew crowds to its course for generations before the UBS Arena joined it, leaving Bellerose with the mix of field, track, and stands that gives this corner of the United States its layered character.

Where is Bellerose?

Bellerose sits at an outer edge of New York City in the United States, a low-built district pressed between the pastures of the Queens County Farm Museum and the racecourse of Belmont Park.
