Our Top Tips for Moving to Somerville

On the northern part of the Rockaway peninsula in Queens, this neighborhood shares a border with the Jamaica Bay estuary to the north. To the south is the Arverne neighborhood, which begins at Beach Channel Drive. You’ll find the Edgemere neighborhood to the west, and Hammels and Rockaway Beach neighborhoods to the east.

There’s definitely more to this neighborhood than where it’s located in the borough as a new resident. Here’s a few details to get your better acquainted with your new home:

  • Surrounded by sanctuaries. Living in NYC isn’t something you may associate with wildlife sanctuaries. But, living in Somerville means you could be rubbing elbows with the flora and fauna of southern Queens regularly. On the northwest corner of the neighborhood, Brandt Point Wildlife Sanctuary consists of largely undeveloped marshland. Not only is this preserved land, but it may directly benefit you just by existing because it helps with the flooding risk. In the same direction, you’ll find Vernam Barbadoes Preserve. It’s home to a number of songbird varieties, diamondback terrapins, and the most diverse collection of maritime plant life along Jamaica Bay. And to the northeast, you’ll run into Dubos Wildlife Sanctuary. As a fun fact, (perhaps good to know for your neighborhood team at trivia night?) the sanctuary was named after the French environmentalist who is well known for first developing modern antibiotics. This spot is also largely flood-risk reducing marshland.
  • Public transportation in and out of the neighborhood. Part of what’s so great about living in a major city is the expansive public transit opportunities. You’ll certainly still have access to the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) subways and buses, though you may have to hoof it a little bit to get to a nearby stop. Bus stops and the A train run just south of Somerville along Rockaway Beach Boulevard. If you’re not commuting within the Peninsula, you might want to pack a book with you. For example, the A subway train from Beach 60th Street and Straiton Avenue will take you into Manhattan, but it’ll take you just over an hour to get to Times Square. So, you’ll want to consider these variables to determine whether a personal vehicle makes sense for you or if waiting for the bus or train will meet your needs. The good news is that if you are able to utilize the MTA transit options, the one-way fare is only $2.75 a ride.
  • Affordable housing. You’ll find a collection of older bungalows and single-family homes in Somerville. No matter if you buy or rent your home though, you’ll find the prices much lower than in many areas of the city. For instance, the average house price is currently at $710K. Compared to the average in the millions of dollars in parts of Manhattan, purchasing a home is much more economical here. But, if you’re in the market to rent, those monthly costs are below average for NYC as well. A studio apartment averages about $1,291 per month. Those aiming for a one-bedroom rental will only put down a few more hundred dollars for an average monthly rent of $1,888 — it’s city living without same high city-livin’ prices.
  • Storm risk. Much of beachfront living is idyllic, but it isn’t without risk. The Rockaway peninsula is no stranger to storms and the potential for flooding, Somerville included. Currently about 95% of the homes in the area are at risk for flooding. That percentage is said to increase to 99% in about 30 years, though the risk itself is increasing slower than the average nationwide. Almost 70% of the homes in the neighborhood are required to have flood insurance, so that may be a cost you’ll need to figure into your budget. Premiums may run you anywhere from $287 to over $3K per month. That said, it’s never a bad idea to protect your investment and the items you hold dear in the event of a flood.

    From start to finish my move was a great experience. I immediately got a quote. The scheduling was easy, and they provided me with information regarding insurance coverage (and took care of the paperwork my building provided). The move itself went like clockwork. The movers arrived on time and texted me when they were on their way with an ETA to the delivery site. They moved everything up the 3 flights of stairs into my apartment quickly and safely. A great company that provides great service at very reasonable rates.

    They were awesome! They take everything apart and then re assemble for you.They wrap up your tvs and glass shit professionally. They take the legs off your couch so it fits through doors. Everything's wrapped until it's inside so it doesn't ruin the paint on your walls if they rub against them.Not even a wine glass was chipped.

    They came at zero hour after the moving company I initially hired and paid a deposit to canceled. I was freaking out about my move not happening at all but they did get this done and my stuff arrived more or less intact and accounted for. They handled changes and snafus gracefully and earned their money. Hopefully I won't be moving again for a long time but if I get forced into that again, I'll remember this experience.

    Was very easy to call and set up a move. The price was good to. I had some mix-ups and needed to add items and even change the date, but they were able to easily accommodate. Day of the move the crew was super nice and professional. They quickly packed up the entire apartment with ease, I didn't really lift a finger. They made what is usually a stressful day pretty easy.

  • star star star star star

    I was amazed how efficient the guys were. they sorted out my items to be removed and, went straight to work. We will definitely use A Piece of Cake multiple times in the future until, we officially make the BIG MOVE! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP....YES, IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE! NO STRESS INVOLVED...JUST SWEET SERVINGS.....

    Piece of Cake Moving was phenomenal to work with. From the initial sale, to the follow up, to the day of delivery. The moving crew themselves were a dream to work with. I honestly don't know how they managed to move everything we'd accumulated over the years in such a short (relatively) period of time. Will definitely use them again (in hopefully 7-8 years).

    Jose and his team did a great job moving my husband and I. They arrived on time and were very organized. They were professional, courteous and moved us quickly. They wrapped our furniture very well. They took apart and put together our bed and sectional couch. We were very pleased and would recommend them.

  • star star star star star

    Nicholas and Giga made this moving experience an easy one, especially since I was moving alone. They were punctual, kind and very thoughtful. When we arrived to my apartment? They helped unwrap all the packing tape and set up my furniture and bed - something that would take probably days for me. They delivered excellent service and went beyond my expectations.

  • star star star star star

    Excellent moving company. I hired 2 men for 2 hours to complete 1 bedroom move. They arrived early, were extremely efficient, helpful, personable, strong, and careful. They finished the job with 45 min to spare. Everything went extremely smoothly. I would hire Piece of Cake again.

    Great move with POC movers! I rented their pink bins which was an excellent choice, they provide plenty of packing paper, zip ties, and tags. My team arrived right at the start of their arrival window and quickly and safely packed all my bins and furniture into their truck. The team just as efficiently unloaded everything, leaving the bins in the labeled rooms and re assembling my bed frame. I definitely recommend renting their bins. I would definitely use Piece of Cake movers again and recommend them to a friend.

    The movers were so professional, friendly and quick. They took such great care of my stuff. I happened to move on one of the hottest days of the year and felt so bad. They were gracious and so still worked quickly. Pls make sure you tip your movers good, they work hard and were really great!

    I had made an appointment from another moving company that completely screwed me over the day of. I called every moving company in New York freaking out, and Piece of Cake was willing to come at 7pm to help me move, last minute. I genuinely don't know what I would have done if they didn't go out of their way to fit me in. Anytime in the future I will be using piece of cake moving! They boxed and unboxed so fast and efficiently, it was amazing!
