Long Island City
Skyline Views and Artistic Inspiration
We often bring clients to Long Island City for the views—and they end up staying for the energy. Once industrial, now residential (but still a little edgy), LIC is a creative hub with big skies, modern towers, and the kind of waterfront strolls that sell you on city living all over again.
Long Island City presents a captivating mix of architectural styles, showcasing both old-world charm and contemporary design. The neighborhood is dotted with sleek high-rise condos that offer spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, while repurposed industrial spaces and historic warehouses add character and depth. The iconic Pepsi-Cola sign along the East River stands as a tribute to the area’s industrial past, even as new developments continue to redefine its modern landscape.
Long Island City is a neighborhood that truly has it all—from breathtaking waterfront views and a vibrant arts scene to diverse dining and living options. Whether you’re exploring its galleries, savoring a meal by the waterfront, or simply enjoying the skyline views, LIC offers a convenient and pleasant lifestyle that’s hard to resist. You’ll have a very easy commute to “Work Island” from here!
