Listing by Rosy Chalif• Charles Rutenberg Realty Inc
Bay Terrace, located between Little Neck Bay and Alley Pond Park, is a residential and waterfront Queens neighborhood with a hilltop street grid and bayside breezes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bay Terrace Shopping Center on Bell Boulevard, where bakeries, sit-down restaurants, and everyday services line wide sidewalks. Low-rise co-ops and brick garden apartments define many blocks, with pockets of single-family homes on quieter, curving streets. The Cross Island Parkway frames the eastern edge, while nearby trails and ballfields shape an outdoors-forward routine. Clearview Golf Course adds open sky and long greens to the local landscape. Fort Totten Park and the Throgs Neck Bridge sit close by for shoreline walks and broad harbor views.

Low-Density Contextual Residence District
R5 districts allow a variety of housing at a higher density than permitted in R3-2 and R4 districts. The floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.25 typically produces three-and four-story attached houses and small apartment houses. With a height limit of 40 feet, R5 districts provide a transition between lower- and higher-density neighborhoods and are widely mapped in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Portions of Windsor Terrace and Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn are R5 districts.
