Bayside / Bay Terrace (Queens Apartments) Neighborhood Information for Apartment Renters

Bayside: Bayside was first inhabited by the Matinecock Indians, and was developed as a village in the early 1880s. It was named for its position on Little Neck Bay. After the North Shore Railroad was extended in 1866, many mansions were built on the high ground around the bay by wealthy New Yorkers. Bayside is a comfortable middle-class, suburban neighborhood, with a growing Chinese, Korean, and Indian population. The biggest singles scene centers on the oh-so-cute LIRR Bayside station, with restaurants and bars clustered around it and along Bell Blvd. You're very close to Nassau County, Long Island, so the feel here is suburban and, surprisingly, full off nature. Fort Totten, on 136-acre site north of Bayside, on a peninsula jutting into the Long Island Sound, is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Fort was established in 1857 as a major component in the defense system of New York Harbor. It was closed in 1995 and is now the home of the Bayside Historical Society. Bell Blvd. is the shopping street from Northern Blvd. north to the Bay Terrace Shopping Center.
Bay Terrace: Bay Terrace has newer condos and co-op garden apartments with bay views, and is home to an assortment of housing structures and large shopping centers. Bay Terrace gets its name from one of the housing complexes which was constructed in the mid 1950s. Like Bayside, Bay Terrace has pristine settings and views of the Long Island Sound. Francis Lewis Boulevard is named after a signer of the Declaration of Independence who lived in Bayside. Commuting to Manhattan can become somewhat tedious via public transportation from Bay Terrace.
