A Bayfront Pocket Near The Border
Bayswater keeps a lower profile than the ocean-facing neighborhoods further down the peninsula, its streets facing Jamaica Bay rather than the Atlantic and its pace shaped more by proximity to Nassau's Five Towns than by boardwalk traffic. Homes here range from modest to substantial, and the neighborhood's identity leans on its water views and its closeness to communities just across the county line.
That closeness to the Five Towns area also means Bayswater shares in a strong local observance of Jewish holidays and the Sabbath, and BonVivant's kosher and Shabbat gift baskets are a regular request here — built around suitable foods and presented with the same silk ribbon and wax seal as any other gift, timed to arrive before sundown when that timing matters.
