Little Neck New York Homes for Rent

Called Little Neck to distinguish the area from the Great Neck peninsula to the east in Nassau County, this neighborhood preserves its proud clamming heritage in the natural surroundings of Udall's Cove Wildlife Preserve. Residential areas are dominated by single-family homes along tree-shaded streets, complemented by the commercial corridor along Northern Boulevard. This northeast corner of Queens borders the Long Island Sound and is one of the most suburban of all the borough's neighborhoods. Interestingly, Littleneck clams still live in the sound but were not named for the Little Neck area. Former CIA director George Tenet is one of Little Neck's famous native sons.
