Neighborhood Profiles

Long Island City

Long Island City sits directly across the East River from Midtown Manhattan, reachable in one stop on the 7 train. LIC has added more than 12,000 residential units since 2015, transforming former industrial blocks into a corridor of glass-tower condos, converted loft co-ops, and rental high-rises along the waterfront. Gantry Plaza State Park, MoMA PS1, and the Hunters Point Library anchor the neighborhood’s cultural identity. Median condo prices run roughly 30-40% below comparable Manhattan waterfront units, drawing both first-time buyers and investors looking for appreciation in one of the city’s highest-growth zip codes.

The neighborhood's housing includes Beaux-Arts prewar cooperatives, boutique condo conversions, and modern luxury towers, all within walking distance of the N, Q, R, W, and 6 trains. Madison Square Park anchors the southern edge, and the area's commercial corridor along Broadway features a concentration of ground-floor restaurant and retail space.
