Living In Bayside

"It's a place with nice trees and big parks right there in the city of New York" said Thomas Van Riper, "There is a real sense of community here that's hard to find anywhere else in the city". Thomas Van Riper is a real estate broker who came from a family that has lived in Bayside during the Civil War.

Bayside has been trough its many transformations as well as most communities. What was once a farming village has later altered into a glamorous movie star estate at one point. As of now, Bayside is more beautiful then ever with its astounding parks and gorgeous real estate making Bayside one of the finest places to live. "Its schools are ranked among the best in New York, its violent-crime rate is one of the lowest and its community activism is ever evident" as said by John Arundel in The New York Times.
