The beaches in the Rockaways in Queens are getting crowded with new surfers, and the area's population has grown significantly over the past two decades, despite the ravages of Hurricane Sandy. The long commute via the A train keeps real estate demand down somewhat, despite the peninsula's status as a summer beach destination. Now, though, new ferry service to Manhattan has added a travel option, and new development is coming to the area in the form of a massive residential complex with 17 buildings and 2,200 apartments on the site of the former Peninsula Hospital.
Still, prices are much lower here than in some other popular New York beach communities. Here are three houses, a co-op, and a condo in the area that can be yours for under $600,000.
