Public housing development in Queens, New York
The Ocean Bay Apartments Bayside Houses (originally called Edgemere Houses) is a NYCHA housing project with 24 buildings. The First Buildings numbered I-XX (1-20) have 7 stories while the last Buildings numbered XXI-XXIV (21-24) have 9 stories. It is located between Almeda Avenue and Beach Channel Drive and also between Beach 51st to 58th Streets in Edgemere, Queens.[2]
The project was approved by the Board of Estimate in February 1955.[3] Condemnation proceedings for the land were initiated in February 1958 and groundbreaking for the project took place in October 1958.[4][5][6] Tenants began moving into first buildings completed at the complex in November 1960;[7] this housing project was completed in September 1961.[1]
In 2002, consistent with the philosophy of the HOPE VI program, the Edgemere Houses and Arverne Houses were renamed as the Ocean Bay Apartments.[8]
