Long Island City Apartments for Rent

Two blocks of historic row houses have been designated a historic district by the New York Landmarks Preservation Foundation. They include familiar brownstones, but also these very unique wooden townhomes as well.

This contemporary landmark will likely succumb to the tide of gentrification sweeping the neighborhood. Housing local graffiti artists and proudly displaying an ever changing canvas of work, tours can be booked to get a peek inside and who knows-maybe you'll be inspired to help save the space from the bulldozers.

Paying homage to the industrial past of the neighborhood, the historic Pepsi sign looks out over the East River towards Manhattan. A wave of revitalization had turned the area into a beautiful waterfront park and new high rises are home to an influx of newcomers.

The beautiful revitalized waterfront looks out toward the 59th Street Bridge and Roosevelt Island to the north. New York loves its waterfronts!
