Map of Bath Beach, Brooklyn Primarily a working class community of semi-attached houses and small apartment houses, Bath Beach is becoming a diverse ethnic community as recent Chinese, Arabic-speaking, and Russian-speaking immigrants displace native-born Italian-Americans, who themselves replaced native-born German-Americans in the mid-twentieth century. The neighborhood contains a variety of small family-owned businesses. Its few chain stores are mainly located at the Caesar's Bay Shopping Center.
