Located on Fire Island, a barrier island off the southern shore of Long Island, Cherry Grove offers a coastal living experience in this historic hamlet. This car-free community is accessible by ferry or water taxi and features wooden boardwalks instead of roads. Cherry Grove encompasses approximately 300 houses on 41 acres and has been a welcoming resort community since the 1868 purchase of the land by Archer and Elizabeth Perkinson.
Apartments for rent in Cherry Grove are situated across distinct neighborhoods, including the West End (Cherry Grove Estates), the central business district with restaurants and shops, and the residential East End. Residents have access to the beaches of Fire Island National Seashore for swimming and sunbathing during summer months. While primarily a seasonal destination with a summer population of about 2,000 (compared to approximately 15 year-round residents), Cherry Grove offers seasonal medical care through Northwell Health's urgent care facilities and emergency services via the all-volunteer Cherry Grove Fire Department. The community's ferry service from Sayville connects residents to Long Island and New York City through the Long Island Rail Road.

Apartment Finder utilizes the industry's largest and most complete database of real-time rents and availabilities to help you find an amazing deal on your next rental.
Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
