Far Rockaway anchors the eastern end of the Rockaways peninsula with a dense urban residential area. The community is predominantly Black and low-income, with large public housing complexes. Extensive post-Sandy rebuilding has brought new infrastructure to Edgemere and the Far Rockaway waterfront, with ongoing investment in the neighborhood's downtown.
