You can go even further into Queens inside of 40 minutes.

You can rent a 2 floor house with a backyard in Rockaway Queens for that.

Thanks to all for the great advice - in case anyone's interested I went on a scouting mission to NYC a few weeks ago and having seen 20+ apartments in 3 frenetic days, I found a small 1BR on 89th St & Columbus. I'm hoping to fly out permanently in the first couple of weeks of July (in the last stages of the visa process now).
