Property Description for 4-74 48th Ave, 29-H
CLICK IMAGES TO ENLRG. (trust me, worth the extra click).
You’ve looked at the rest, now come look at the best! CITYLIGHTS, a true full service luxury Bldg. The ONLY High-Rise in ALL of LIC. With height, comes views. LOTS of them. Who wants to live on the waterfront, steps to the most gorgeous river views in all of NYC and stare at a wall across windows of your Low/Mid-Rise Condo?! Nonsense! No View – No deal. Yearning for peace and quiet you say? This CORNER UNIT is as quiet as it gets. Soaring high in the sky on the 29th fl. the sound proof casement windows ensure your serenity. South & East exposures drench you in prime-time sunlight. 12 individual window panels (you read right, yes 12!) provide a stunning panoramic view encompassing: Queens, BK, East River & the iconic City Skyline. You get it all: Empire State & Chrysler Bldg., BofA Tower/Times Sq, Freedom Tower, Citicorp, Pulaski & Wburg Bridges, and much more. Get the view most people dream of on a bedroom poster! Oh, and by the way - 43% of your monthly maintenance fee is a tax write-off! Not bad. Amenities are large too. Cancel your gym membership. Included in your monthly fees is a staffed gym w/free classes & a sauna to enjoy after a hard day’s work. Showers & lockers as well. Looking for more? Try this: Full Time Concierge, Garage, 2 private tennis courts, Roof Deck Garden, Laundry Room. Spa, Dry-cleaner, Elementary School are all on ground level. Zip Cars and monthly parking are garaged on the concourse level as well. Residents pay an astonishingly low $140 p/month to park. Dedicated bicycle parking near the service exit gets you pedaling in no time. PLS NOTE: Dining area can be converted into a separate room, making this a 2-bed convertible. Easy as pie! Add two walls in an "L” shape to guard off newly created space convertible into a nursery, a private office or an additional guest bedroom. Window and extra heating/cooling unit already in place. Or leave as-is and live lavishly like a King of your own palace. Friends & family will be equally as impressed, either way! Location, Location &...? You're sleeping directly above Gantry Plaza State Park. Gorgeous, spectacular 20+ Acre Park. Words can’t describe! Iconic LIC. Sick of views? Grab the 7 Train, 2 blocks East and zoom to Midtown/Grand Central in 5 min. flat. No joke, we’ve timed it on our iPhones (2 min. walk to train not incl.). G gets you to Greenpoint, Williburg & rest of prime Bklyn. E/M trains are nearby. Fancy your travels by water instead? East River Ferry - 4 min walk from your door (approx. Not timed). Sail away to nearby lands of: 34th St, BK & Wall St. (in that order). In style too! (they serve coffee). On wknds, visit LIC Flea & Food - Queens' largest outdoor artisan market. Warm it up during summer at MoMA’s PS1-free Warm Up tix, only for LIC residents. LIC locals rule – even MoMA members must pay for admission.
Compromise on nothing! This original & true LIC hi-rise mecca is ready for you to call your trophy 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.
