ArvernebytheSea

Arverne by the Sea is a residential development located in the Arverne neighborhood of the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, New York City. The project was developed on a portion of the former Arverne Urban Renewal Area, a site that had been largely vacant for decades. Construction began in the early 2010s and the development comprises a mix of rental apartments and condominium units.

The development includes various amenities for residents, such as recreational facilities and community spaces. Its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean is a significant feature, offering residents access to beaches and waterfront activities. Arverne by the Sea is intended to revitalize a historically underutilized area of the Rockaways, contributing to the housing stock and economic activity of the peninsula.

The project involved a phased approach to construction, with different sections opening at various times. Its development has been part of a broader effort to redevelop and improve infrastructure and housing options in the Rockaway area, which has a history of both natural disasters and urban decay. Arverne by the Sea represents one of the most substantial new housing initiatives in the Rockaways in recent years.
