Bay Shore, located on the South Shore of Long Island, combines coastal living with small-town charm. This historic hamlet, purchased from the Secatogue Native Americans in 1708, has transformed from a 19th-century resort destination into a revitalized waterfront community. Spanning 6 square miles along the Great South Bay, Bay Shore offers convenient access to Fire Island ferries and maintains an average rent of $2,519 for a one-bedroom apartment.
Bay Shore's neighborhoods feature a variety of housing options, from waterfront properties to homes near the downtown area. The community's restoration efforts since the 1980s have enhanced Main Street with new sidewalks, period streetlights, and landscaped parks. Residents have access to the South Shore Mall, downtown restaurants, Bay Shore Marina, and Benjamin Beach. The Long Island Rail Road's Montauk Branch serves the area, while Sunrise Highway and the Southern State Parkway provide additional transportation options for the 42-mile commute to Manhattan.

"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
