Just over an hour trip via bus and subway or Long Island Railroad to Manhattan, South Jamaica’s houses for rent offer you an easy commute to work or play in New York City and a restful place to call home.

On the weekends, head over to Baisley Pond Park and take in a game by a local baseball team. Catch a game at Doctor Charles R. Drew Memorial Park, which overlooks the Van Wyck Expressway. Then, head to the Door for breakfast, lunch, or even a late dinner for Caribbean dishes. The Port Royal Restaurant & Bakery also offers Caribbean fare.
