Long Island City

Sleek high-rises, abundant green spaces, and East River views make Long Island City a must-have on any list of neighborhood considerations. Located just one subway stop away from Midtown and Brooklyn, LIC is more central than you'd think. Locals enjoy the quiet riverfront park for its sweeping Manhattan views and innovative art galleries and performance spaces appeal to local artists and young professionals alike. Unique architecture includes Hunter Point South with its 30-foot-tall cantilevered platform where you can see the Manhattan skyline in all its glory. Spend the evening with friends at one of the incredible restaurants or bars in the neighborhood.
