Tips for Finding the Right LIC Luxury Apartments For Your Needs
If you’re considering Long Island City, you’re in good company. This community has become a preferred location for commuters, businesspeople, artists, and families as the area has rapidly evolved over the past few decades.
It’s estimated that around 20,000 new residents will move to Long Island City within the next decade which would essentially double the current population. Now is an excellent time to lock in a suitable apartment at a great price and enjoy the proximity to Manhattan before the competition heats up.
Below are some tips to help you find the right home for your needs.
Look at included amenities
There’s no need to shortchange yourself of amenities when looking for an apartment near Manhattan. Long Island City has the distinct advantage of offering a cost of living that is substantially lower than Manhattan, where you’ll get far more amenities in a luxury rental than you would for the same price in Midtown or other parts of Manhattan.
So, check exactly what’s included with your apartment and narrow down the options to those with the most generous amenities in your preferred price range.

It offers the benefit of being one of the closest communities to Midtown as well; something to consider if you work in the area. Getting to Midtown from Long Island City takes just about 15 minutes, with the Court Square Station offering commuters connections to the E, M, G and 7 trains.
