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'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.
