Arverne

A changing residential landscape by the ocean.

Arverne sits on the Rockaway Peninsula, with a mix of older homes, apartment buildings, and newer residential development. Its streets extend toward the Atlantic beach, where the boardwalk offers a continuous coastal route.

Different parts of the neighborhood have distinct building patterns, from established blocks to more recently planned developments. The connection between homes, public open space, and the ocean is central to understanding Arverne’s residential setting.
