Long Island City

A skyline facing Manhattan.

Long Island City’s East River waterfront brings together residential towers, public parks, and former industrial architecture. Inland streets offer a different mix of apartment buildings, townhouses, workshops, and converted spaces.

Gantry Plaza State Park and Hunters Point South Park are prominent waterfront destinations. The neighborhood covers several distinct settings, so a home’s position relative to the river, transit, and the surrounding blocks is an important part of its character.
