Apartments in Long Island City

About Long Island City

Long Island City has transformed from an industrial wasteland into one of NYC's fastest-growing neighborhoods. The waterfront along Hunters Point is lined with glass towers offering some of the city's most dramatic Manhattan skyline views — the classic "Pepsi sign" shot is taken from Gantry Plaza State Park. The 7 train makes Midtown accessible in just 10 minutes, making LIC popular with young professionals who want space and views without Brooklyn prices. The neighborhood lacks the walkable commercial streets of older neighborhoods, but new restaurants and shops are filling in. MoMA PS1 is a major contemporary art destination, and the area around Court Square has become a food and drink hub. Apartments here tend to be modern with amenities like gyms, rooftops, and doormen.
