Long Island City has grown from an industrial waterfront into one of the city's busiest areas for new residential buildings, many with full amenity packages.

Gantry Plaza State Park and Hunters Point South Park look straight across the East River at midtown, and the neighborhood is also home to MoMA PS1 and a growing restaurant scene.
