Long Beach Overview

Long Beach, NY is a barrier island off the coast of Long Island’s south shore. With a population of just over 35,000, Long Beach feels more like a small town than a city. Yet, apartment residents feel connected to the thriving Long Island area, with easy commutes and access to all the amenities of big city life without the chaos. Long Beach residents live here for the beauty, peace and serenity and stay for the homey, comfortable feeling of the people.

What is the history of Long Beach?

One of Long Island's oldest and most established communities is Long Beach. It was established in 1880 when the first Long Beach Hotel was constructed, and it has since expanded steadily ever since 1882, when the railroad came to Long Beach and made it feasible as a vacation resort community.  In 1922, Long Beach officially became a city. Long Beach's location on an oceanfront island off the south side of Long Island, which favorably impacts its climate, was a primary draw for its growth. In comparison to the inland areas of New York City and Long Island, Long Beach typically has temperature averages that are 10 degrees warmer in winter and 10 degrees cooler in summer. Long Beach evolved as an attractive coastal village, sandwiched between the bay and the ocean. 

How is the weather in Long Beach?

Residents of Long Beach, NY enjoy a humid, subtropical climate offset by ocean breezes in the summer.  Precipitation comes about evenly throughout the four seasons, which includes snow in winter. Long Beach, NY is considered to be a temperate climate in comparison with nearby New York City. Because of Long Beach’s location, average highs in summer only reach into the mid-80s, and average lows in winter only dip down in the the naughts. Residents of apartments in Long Beach, NY don’t have to worry about shoveling snow, but the city has a good reputation for clearing streets and sidewalks quickly after snowfalls.

How do I get around town?

One of the most appealing things about Long Beach is that local residents don’t need a car to get around. No matter what method you prefer for sightseeing, entertainment, grocery shopping, beachcombing and more, there’s an easy way to get there. For instance, there are rental cars available at Long Beach airport when you need to travel out of town. Uber and Lyft both operate in Long Beach, too.
