About Rosedale
Where to stay in Rosedale
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Hotel beds are sparse on this edge of Queens. Rosedale is a neighborhood in the southeastern portion of the borough of Queens, so the practical question is whether a base belongs inside the New York City line or across it in Nassau County. Rosedale itself keeps the city address.
Nassau County begins at the neighborhood's own outer edge, which puts a second set of options within a short hop of the same streets.
About Rosedale
What are the main landmarks in Rosedale?
Rosedale carries no monument list. The neighborhood sits in the southeastern portion of the borough of Queens, and its defining feature is the boundary it shares with Nassau County rather than any single building or park. Queens ends here.
The New York City street pattern continues as far as that line and stops, so a short walk out of Rosedale is a walk out of the city altogether.
What is the history of Rosedale?
Rosedale's story is an administrative one. The neighborhood belongs to the borough of Queens, one of the units that make up New York City, and its outer edge has long been fixed by the boundary with Nassau County beyond it. That line still holds.
Whatever changed on the streets themselves, Rosedale has kept its place along the southern part of Queens and its standing as the last stretch of New York City on this flank. Queens is one of five boroughs, counted with Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island, and each of them is coextensive with its own county.
Where is Rosedale?
Rosedale lies along the southern part of Queens, in the borough's southeastern portion, with the Nassau County line closing off its outer side.
