Originally known as Fosters Meadows, the neighborhood of Rosedale is located in the southwestern corner of the mainland portion of Queens. The housing selection is dominated by single-family and two-family homes that include duplexes and townhouses. Although the neighborhood is culturally diverse, significant populations of residents with Italian, Jewish, and Latin American backgrounds call Rosedale home. The area is bordered to the north by Cambria Heights, to the east by Valley Stream in Nassau County, to the west by Laurelton and Brookville, and on the south by the bustling John F. Kennedy International Airport. Rosedale is actually situated at the very eastern edge of New York City adjacent to Nassau County.
