3 Reasons Why You Should Consider Moving To Long Island City.

Most people hear "Long Island" and shy away not knowing that Long Island City actually has means of public transportation besides the Long Island Railroad and doesn't take the Southern State Parkway to reach. In fact, if you're  looking to stay close to the city, but not in it, there's no better place to look other than Long Island City. Serviced by the Astoria N and Q trains, Flushing 7 train,  Crosstown G train, the underground 63rd St Street F train, as well as the Queens Blvd E, M, and R trains.

Not only is it the the westernmost neighborhood in Queens, it's well known for it's waterfront parks that give you breathtaking views of Manhattan. Aside from outdoor activities, Long Island City has the highest concentration of art galleries, art institutions, and studio space than anywhere else in the city. With Greenpoint, Brooklyn being the surrounding neighborhood, there's plenty more to explore as your on the cusp of two boroughs with tons of culture. While Long Island City is home to studios like SilverCup, there's plenty of action taking place right in your backyard. MoMA PS1 is the second largest nonprofit contemporary art institutions in the United States, and you guessed it, it's right in Long Island City too. It was named after the public school it is now housed in.

There are other things to see as well, such as the Socrates Sculpture Park that is open 365 days a year from 10 am to sunset. Located on Broadway and Vernon Blvd, what used to be an abandoned landfill,  has become an internationally recognized outdoor museum giving artists a unique opportunity to create and exhibit large sculptures and multi-media installations in an outdoor environment.

Aside from the great things to explore in Long Island City, the neighborhood has a growing number of luxury residential and condo buildings that you can soon call home. Now is the time to grab the prime real estate that's becoming available before it's too late.
