What is Bath Beach known for?

Bath Beach is known as a culturally diverse neighborhood about a square mile in size, sandwiched between Bensonhurst and Gravesend Bay. The neighborhood offers larger homes, good schools, and easy subway access. Residential streets run north to south from 86th Street to the Belt Parkway, with many blocks opening to wide vistas of Gravesend Bay. The name comes from Bath in the UK (the spa town); about 100 years ago Bath Beach had its own sandy stretch serving New Yorkers similar to how the Hamptons do today. The current cultural mix includes Chinese, Hispanic, Arabic, and Russian-speaking communities. To explore Bath Beach real estate, call (718) 666-2696.
