You'll awake in your bedroom feeling like you've slept in the clouds with your private balcony just steps away delivering expansive Manhattan skyline views. Your tranquil bath greets you with luxurious finishes and your inner foodie will soon be demanding a gourmet breakfast in the open layout kitchen; you'll delight in the major features, like top-of-the-line Fisher Paykel appliances, including drawer microwave and five burner cooktop, and the spacious pantry to store your favorite ingredients from foodcellar & Co. No time to whip up a healthy breakfast yourself? Stop by 51st Bakery & Cafe or Sweetleaf before you hop onto the 7 train which makes your commute into Manhattan a breeze.
As you wind down in your spacious living room after a long day, catching up on your reading while you await clean clothes from your very own Bosch washer/dryer before tucking them away in your walk in closet, you’ll start making plans for the weekend. Brunch at Café Henri, followed by a stroll in Gantry Plaza State Park before you had back home for a quick workout at the gym in your building where your 24/7 doorman greets you warmly.
The warm late summer nights are perfect for an aperitif on your balcony or a gathering of your friends and family in the building’s common yard with BBQ — you feel you've arrived at your perfect Long Island City dream home.

Quick Profile
Long Island City, the name does sound a little far away, like it requires a lengthy drive to get to. Think, again. Long Island City, also known as LIC, is nestled in the western corner of Queens along the East River. Midtown Manhattan is closer to Long Island City than it is to downtown Manhattan.
LIC is bordered by Sunnyside to the east, the East River to the west, Astoria to the north, and Newton Creek which separates Queens from Greenpoint Brooklyn to the south.
A once-shabby manufacturing epicenter, the neighborhood is a mix of industrial, commercial and residential. In recent years it’s seen a rise in some seriously cool factors. Populated by young professionals, multi-ethnic immigrants, and hipsters, LIC has a happening nightlife scene, fantastic restaurants (some of them Michelin starred), art museums and galleries. Much of the waterfront access has been redeveloped into sustainable public green spaces with modern design.
Although much of the industrial / manufacturing companies have since left LIC, many still reside there. They tend to co-exist with new residential building development the same way they do in other neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Greenpoint.
Office building developers and business tenants play a vital role in LIC too. It’s considered New York City’s fourth central business district next to Midtown, downtown Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn.
As you traverse the streets of LIC, you’ll notice the change from block to block. Industrial warehouses on one block, a bustling Main Street, followed by a park block with sleek luxury high-rise buildings. It’s all part of the LIC vibe.
For a small neighborhood, the transportation links are excellent. For starters, you just can’t beat living one subway stop from Manhattan (7 train). Other train lines include E, M, R, N, Q, and the G lines. There are also less conventional methods of transportation like the NYC Ferry, which offers three ferry landings. There is no shortage of CitiBike’s in LIC either. Many folks commute to work by way of cycling over the Queensboro Bridge.
