42-83 Hunter Street, Long Island City, Queens, NY 11101

There’s something antiquated to the Long Island City name. However, even though this expansive Queens locale hasn’t been an independent city since 1898, there’s nothing outdated about modern-day Long Island City. Time has seen this one-time manufacturing center transform into one of the most unrivaled areas across the five boroughs. Long Island City’s breadth across northwest Queens is being equaled by the height of its buildings, several of which rank as the borough’s absolute tallest. Homes in modern skyward towers by the waterside take in the gorgeous river and Manhattan skyline views. Further east is a mix of timeless townhouses, charming low-rise condominium buildings, and converted factory lofts. Hunter’s Point South Park and Gantry Plaza State Park each provide ample acreage to get active, take a load off, or simply stop to stare for a while right beside the river.
