    Born and raised but will never suggest any one to move there. It's like living in a third world country. No matter how much they paint it gentrify it far Rockaway will always be a place of lost souls. That place is haunted with death....

      Not true. There's Alot of gorgeous homes in the upper parts of the beach. And many other parts have very nice homes. And no offense but I think you probably grew up around the less savory folk's and that's probably muddied your perspective. Far Rockaway is like anywhere, There are rough parts and nice part's. If you want trouble you will certainly find it. But if you keep your nose clean and associate with the right kind of people, You'll be just fine. That's the problem I notice with Alot of people who grew up in bad neighborhoods, They paint the world like it's there little corner that they grew up in. Its a very big world out there, And Far Rockaway is extremely diverse. Been here for 7 years, Never have any problems and go out at night all the time. It all depends on who you associate with and where you choose to hang out. Alot of these stabbings and shootings are happening to people who live in those environments and participate in the street lifestyle. Those specific areas need to be cleaned, Not the entire County. There's Alot of extremely successful extremely well off people living quitely and peacefully in Far Rockaway.

      @@maxd3028 Yea, The Houses by the beach are very nice. And there’s a strong police presence. Every night a Few Patrol Cars make the entire beach round’s from The Start of the board walk at beach 9th all the way to the end of the board walk in the 120s. And this video is depicting the hood not the full totality of Far Rockaway..😂😂
      It’s like the Bronx, I can show you a video of the worst hood in the south Bronx, And then show you a video of all the gorgeous homes in Riverdale. Same borough, Different neighborhood.

      I agree! People make Far Rockaway seem so much worse than what it really is. I moved out here almost 19 years ago. At first, I was scared because people painted Far Rockaway the worst of the worst. I am from Brooklyn. I have grown to love and appreciate this beautiful small gem. People really underestimate Far Rock, and I am happy because people don't know what they are truly missing.
      New york definitely has worse places than Far Rockaway.. now that's for sure.

      Lived there for more than 10 years, can confirm it's trash. Rockaway doesn't need anyone to make it look worse than it is, it's already at rock bottom. You trying to protect a home town that don't deserve it, nor did it do any good to anyone who lived there. Rockaway maybe has some nice parts but the % of trash places in it far outweight any """good"""" areas lol

    Left there almost 30 years ago, and although I have "some" fond memories, I would live there now for free rent. Single motherhood has populated that place with the worst of the worst. I miss what it "used" to be, and it'll never be that again. I didn't leave anything worth going back for when I left. They can have it. They've destroyed it all anyways. That's why they are where they are, and I am where I am. It's sad, but I'll "never" go back.
