Far Rockaway is a beachside community on the far west end of the Rockaway Peninsula. The name Rockaway comes from the Delaware Indians, the area’s originally settlers. It's reported to mean, "place of sands," "place between the waters," or "place of our people." The neighborhood’s relaxed, remote, beachside vibe once made it a popular summertime vacation destination for New Yorkers of all types. In the 1950s, the area was lined with mansions, hotels, casinos, and an amusement park. Today's Far Rockaway is a middle class neighborhood boasting some of New York City's most affordable real estate. Except for a handful of seasonal establishments and apartment buildings, most of the waterfront development has gone away, leaving Far Rockaway residents with one of the largest stretches of open beachfront in New York. The boardwalk and sandy dunes offer a popular place for year round walking, biking and enjoyment of the surf. Single-family Colonial homes with driveways, garages and fenced-in yards, one of New York’s rarest real estate options, can be found in Far Rockaway at surprisingly affordable prices. Perhaps, the low prices are due to the area’s distance from Manhattan, although a commute to the city on the A-Line or the LIRR only takes about an hour. Far Rockaway also features many multi-family homes, townhouses, condominiums and brick co-op buildings. The neighborhood is also home to about 400 historic beach bungalows. Once numbering in the thousands, these quaint structures are located in the Beach Bungalow Historic District, which is on the National Registry of Historic Places.

641 Beach 65th Street, Far Rockaway, NY, 11692
ML# :3468038 Investor/Builder opportunity on one of the few beach community areas that have not been overdeveloped or priced out of reach. Rockaway Beach is part of Queens and as such enjoys the lower real estate taxes that the City has to offer. This area has been a beach destination for generations but only recently has begun to gain popularity as an investment area for developers. Luxury rentals and condos have been springing up here and the boardwalk and beach have been upgraded to rival any Long Island waterfront community. This flat parcel of land is located one block from the boardwalk and beach. It is zoned R4 with a FAR of .75. The existing zoning should allow for two, two-family homes to be built on this corner lot. With proper use of terraces and perhaps a roof deck, water views are achievable.
