Building Description
The Ocean Bay Apartments on Jamaica Bay in Queens began as a post-war project of the New York City Housing Authority in 1951 with seven six-story buildings known at the time as Arverne Houses. Ten years later came another 24 mid-rise towers of seven and nine stories on the bay side of the housing complex, dubbed the Edgemere Houses. Today the two sections of the Ocean Bay Apartments on both sides of Beach Channel Drive offer 1,795 apartments in Far Rockaway. 439 Beach 54th Street offers 813 apartments across 15 buildings that reach 9 stories in height, with the average unit size clocking in at 1,010 square feet.
The sandy expanses of Rockaway Beach on the Atlantic Ocean are steps away and the northern row of buildings push up against the spacious Rockaway Community Park, while the space between buildings is taken up by large grassy lawns. The Ocean Bay Apartments are part of School District 27 and two schools, P.S. 105 and the Goldie Maple School, adjoin the apartment complex. Bus service stops at 56-10 Beach Channel Drive, and two stations for the Long Island Rail Road are within walking distance. The A train can be boarded less than 0.3 miles away.
