Welcome to Long Beach, New York, known as "The City by the Sea." Located on a barrier island off Long Island's South Shore, this coastal community combines beachfront living with convenient city access. The compact 3.9-square-mile city features a meticulously restored 2.2-mile boardwalk, rebuilt following Superstorm Sandy. Housing includes beach bungalows in the West End, single-family homes in the East End, and apartment buildings along the boardwalk. Current rental rates average $2,964 for one-bedroom apartments and $4,255 for two-bedroom units.
Long Beach's Mediterranean-style architecture, established through early city planning, creates a distinctive coastal atmosphere. The Long Island Rail Road terminal provides direct access to Manhattan, while Park Avenue and West Beech Street offer an array of restaurants and shops. The community calendar features events throughout the year, from the annual Arts and Crafts Festival to summer concerts.
