Neighborhood

An apartment in Coney Island will definitely make you feel like a kid again. Whether it’s the colorful cotton candy or the go-karts, locals and tourists alike enjoy their time away from the stresses of life to just act silly.

Coney Island’s amusement park is a major tourist destination. With its towering roller coasters, carnival games, and carousel, the boardwalk is a great spot for good, old-fashioned family fun. Not only does it house all of these attractions, but it’s also the home of MCU Park Stadium and the New York Aquarium.

Deno’s Wonder Wheel is the site of numerous family-friendly side shows and a giant Ferris wheel. Coney Island’s beach is pretty spectacular and incredibly busy during the summer months. Nathan’s Famous hot dog stand is located in walking distance of the beach – their annual Fourth of July hot dog eating competition is held at the flagship store.
