Located in northeastern Queens, a ways away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, Bayside feels more suburban than much of the rest of Queens. This is mostly due to the more relaxed vibe as well as the neighborhood's many parks and abundance of single-family homes and detached houses. Bayside has a long history of being an affluent neighborhood and has several smaller bedroom communities within its borders, including Bay Terrace and Bayside Gables, one of the wealthiest areas in all of Queens. While homes for sale in these areas may be expensive, Bayside also has a good amount of co-op inventory. Coops for sale in Bayside tend to be affordable, with prices starting below $250,000. Back in the 1920s, when movies were still being made in New York City, there were several movie studios in the neighborhood, and notable actors Charlie Chaplin, Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson were among the many who maintained elegant homes in Bayside. While the community may no longer be home to so many celebrities, it has nonetheless remained desirable thanks to its highly rated public schools, waterfront location, family-friendly vibe, and low crime rate. This has, in turn, kept real estate prices high with a majority of single-family houses for sale in Bayside going for well over $1 million.
