The Rockaways

Seems that over the last half a century there is been many failed attempts to rejuvenate The Rockaways peninsula are really working. There are some amazing high-end developments in The Rockaways like Ocean Grand, The Seavon, The Beach House and Belle Shores. With this rezoning, it will bring needed retail and more high-end housing making Rockaway an even more valid alternative to the Hamptons. City and residents aim to keep Rockaway low-density Posted on 06-26-2008 Hampered by overdevelopment, some crime, overcrowding, a dilapidated beachfront home for the elderly, and traditionally poor stretches of retail, residents of Rockaway Beach in Queens hope a massive, 208-block, five-neighborhood rezoning plan will maintain charm and inspire a retail surge.
