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.
