Long Island City offers the perfect balance for residents. It’s a very short trip into Midtown, but homes there often provide more space than those in most Manhattan neighborhoods. It’s also close to both JFK and LaGuardia airports and is served by numerous subway lines. There are a large number of new construction high-rise buildings with enviable views, and residents love Gantry Plaza State Park, which sits on the East River, as well as the thriving food scene. LIC is also home to MoMA PS 1, an offshoot of the Museum of Modern Art in a former public school. Check out our Know the Neighborhood video to get a sense of what living in LIC is really like and take a peek at some of our favorite Long Island City rentals below.
