Long Island, NY Apartments for Rent

Long Island, stretching eastward from New York City into the Atlantic Ocean, offers diverse neighborhoods for apartment seekers. This 118-mile island combines suburban living with easy access to New York City. From the historic mansions of the North Shore to the sandy beaches along the South Shore, Long Island features neighborhoods rich in history and natural beauty. The island encompasses four counties—Kings (Brooklyn), Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk—each with its own distinct rental market and community character.

The Long Island Rail Road connects residents throughout the region and into Manhattan. The area features numerous educational institutions, including Stony Brook University and Hofstra University. Nassau and Suffolk counties report median household incomes above $121,000, supported by jobs in healthcare, technology, and education. While rental costs typically run higher than the national average, especially in communities closer to New York City, residents enjoy easy access to Jones Beach State Park, North Fork wineries, and shopping districts throughout the region.

Why Long Island?

  • Home to the East Coast’s largest industrial park, the Hauppauge Industrial Park, which employs more than 55,000 residents of Long Island
  • The 13th most populated island in the world
  • The Long Island Pizza Festival and Bake-off is held each year to decide which “mom and pop” pizzeria is the best of the island
  • Famous beaches include Main Beach, Cooper’s Beach, Fire Island National Seashore, and the beach area at Jones Beach State Park
  • Learn about Long Island’s maritime and whaling history at Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum, Sag Harbor Whaling Museum, and Long Island Maritime Museum
  • Numerous golf courses, vineyards, and state parks are scattered throughout the island
