About the neighborhood
Little Venice in Queens
Backyards in Old Howard Beach often end at the water: the neighborhood sits on the inlets of Jamaica Bay in southwestern Queens, its lanes of bungalows, brick Cape Cods, and split-levels threaded with canals and private docks. William J. Howard, a Brooklyn glove maker, founded it as a turn-of-the-century resort, dredging marshland into the network that earned the nickname Little Venice in Queens.
The resort era passed, the Howard Hotel burned, and by the 1920s and 1930s the area had settled into a year-round enclave of brick and stucco cottages and semi-detached homes, many since passed down through generations. Cross Bay Boulevard supplies the main-street errands, with small marinas tucked between the blocks. It suits people who want boat-off-the-dock living inside the city.
