The X28 express bus runs directly to Midtown Manhattan from Neptune on weekday mornings from 6 to 8 AM.

Is Sea Gate a gated community?

Yes. Sea Gate is one of the few private, gated residential communities in New York City, occupying the western tip of the Coney Island peninsula. Access is controlled by gates and a private security force, the Sea Gate Police, and the community includes private streets and a private beach for residents. This gated, self-contained character sets Sea Gate apart from almost every other Brooklyn neighborhood and is central to its identity, privacy, and appeal to buyers seeking security and exclusivity.

Is Sea Gate in a flood zone?

Yes, Sea Gate lies in a flood zone due to its exposed oceanfront position at the tip of the Coney Island peninsula, and it was among the areas hardest hit in Brooklyn by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, when many homes flooded. Since then, resiliency measures, shoreline protection, and updated building and elevation standards have been introduced, and many homes have been rebuilt or raised. Buyers should factor flood-zone status into insurance costs and review a specific property's elevation and protections.

Is Sea Gate safe?

Sea Gate is considered one of the more secure neighborhoods in Brooklyn, in large part because it is a private, gated community with controlled access and its own dedicated security force, the Sea Gate Police. The gated entrances, private streets, and strong, tight-knit community contribute to a quiet, safe, residential atmosphere. As with any neighborhood, common-sense awareness is sensible, but Sea Gate's private, controlled setting makes it one of the more security-focused places to live in the borough.

Should I sell my Sea Gate home now or wait?

Sea Gate's gated-community uniqueness keeps it insulated from broader Brooklyn market swings. The buyer pool is narrower but motivated. Call The Franzese Group at (718) 666-2696 for our read.

What does it cost to sell a home in Sea Gate?

Selling costs include commission (5-6%), NY State transfer tax (0.4%), NYC transfer tax (1-1.425%), attorney fees ($1,500-$3,500), HOA-related transfer fees if applicable to the gated community, and any buyer credits. The Franzese Group provides a complete net sheet up front. Call (718) 666-2696.

Where is Sea Gate in Brooklyn?

Sea Gate is located at the far western tip of the Coney Island peninsula in southern Brooklyn, bordered by Coney Island to the east and surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Gravesend Bay on its other sides. It is a private, gated community, so access is restricted to residents and their guests. Because of its remote, oceanfront position and gated layout, it has no subway service and relies on buses and cars, reinforcing its secluded, self-contained character.

Why choose a private gated community in Brooklyn?

Sea Gate offers something rare in NYC - genuine privacy and seclusion behind a police-protected entrance gate. Children play in the streets because there's no through-traffic.
