context_page_description: Rochdale Village is a housing cooperative and neighborhood in the southeastern corner of the New York City borough of Queens. Located in Community District 12, Rochdale Village is grouped as part of Greater Jamaica, corresponding to the former Town of Jamaica. It is adjacent to four other Queens neighborhoods: St. Albans to the east, South Jamaica to the west, Locust Manor to the north, and Springfield Gardens to the south across the Belt Parkway. Rochdale is about 2 miles off the Queens/Nassau border and about 1 mile north of the John F. Kennedy International Airport.
context_section_description: Rochdale Village, sometimes called the "Jewel of Jamaica", is located on a 120-acre (0.49 km²) residential park. It consists of 20 buildings in five circular groups. Each 13 story building has three sections: A, B, and C. Each section in each building has its own mailing address. Rochdale Village has its own branch of the Queens Public Library system. A 21 megawatt cogeneration facility generates all the electrical power, heating, air-conditioning, and domestic hot water services for the entire residential development and two shopping malls; the power plant produces its power independently with no connection to any outside utility company. Rochdale Village is protected by the Rochdale Village Department of Public Safety, which works in close proximity with the NYPD's 113th Precinct, employing a mix of unarmed Security Guards and unarmed Peace Officers.
