About Long Island City

Once an industrial expanse of warehouses and taxi depots, Long Island City now offers waterfront parks, skyline views, shiny new apartments, converted lofts, and unbeatable access to Manhattan. The neighborhood has seen remarkable change in the last two decades, with its waterfront is now lined with upscale, glassy new developments ideal for those seeking luxury amenities and a quick commute to Midtown. Even before Amazon came close to moving into LIC in the late 2010s, new parks, restaurants, bars, and other amenities were already transforming the area into a comfortable and scenic place to live, work, and play. In addition to the many residential units, LIC is a growing commercial hotspot chock full of office space, from the 50-story One Court Square skyscraper to converted industrial lofts. So, you may not even need to leave the nabe to get to work — but if you do, Midtown is as little as one stop away on an express train.
