5 condos for sale in Long Island City, a short commute from Manhattan
This one bedroom, one bath is listed for $715,000. The condo has a walk-in closet, in-unit washer and dryer, and balcony.
Two years ago, developers and sellers bemoaned Amazon’s decision to back away from plans to locate one of its headquarters in Long Island City, which would have created tens of thousands of jobs and potentially filled up the many new developments transforming this part of the Queens skyline.
Instead of an influx of tech workers, however, there’s been a different population surge among these waterfront towers. Long Island City has seen the fastest growth in residents who identify as Asian, a fivefold increase since 2010, according to a report in the New York Times, which notes that rents here are about 25 percent cheaper than Manhattan.
If you're looking to buy here, the neighborhood’s current median sales price is $630,000, and in the Hunters Point section of LIC, it’s $1,064,000, according to PropertyShark, and there are currently 198 condos listed on StreetEasy. (The median sales price for a condo in Manhattan was $1,610,00 in the third quarter as per the Elliman Report—so condos are much less expensive here too.)
Housing is mostly new development, so you’ll likely find modern features, new finishes, in-unit laundry, private outdoor space, central air, and luxury amenities. You’ll also find many buildings with waterfront views of Manhattan—and an easy commute via ferry and a short ride on the 7, E, M, N, and W subway lines.
So if you’re looking to buy a condo in Long Island City, check out these five for sale in the area.
