Hunters Point in Queens offers waterfront living & residential growth
Across the East River from Manhattan, Hunters Point is a Long Island City neighborhood known for its waterfront views. This ever-growing Queens community has towering condo buildings, and more in development. A thriving commercial and cultural district matches the expanding residential sector. Ferries, trains and subways transport residents throughout the metro area, but between the cultural attractions and riverside parks, there’s plenty to do without leaving the neighborhood.
Families enjoy picnics on the grassy fields of Hunters Point South Park.
Hunters Point calls Long Island City home, one of the more prominent cities in Queens.

The housing costs in Hunters Point
Newly built complexes and historic structures welcome residents home in Hunters Point. “If you have a condo without water views, all you have to do is walk a little ways to see postcard views,” says Jonna Stark, a licensed associate real estate broker with Brown Harris Stevens who does most of her work in Hunters Point. Some condos are simple brick buildings; others are newer, sleek buildings with large windows. “You could pay the same price in Manhattan or Brooklyn, but you'll get much less space,” Stark says. “There are full-service buildings with a 24-hour door person, pools and modern luxuries like washers and dryers in the units.” Home prices in Hunters Point range widely:
The lower $400,000s-the upper $900,000s for a one- or two-bedroom high-rise co-op
The mid $900,000s-$2.4 million for a two-bedroom condo
About $1.8 million-$2.9 million for a three-bedroom condo
However, Hunters Point is a renter-heavy area; over half of properties in the neighborhood are apartments.
Many new condo buildings can be found along the Gantry Plaza State Park in Hunters Point.

Public transit and the commute into Manhattan
Commuters heading into Manhattan or farther into Queens have their pick of transportation options. “The subway is the most popular way to get around,” says Silvette Julian, a real estate advisor at Compass with over 15 years of experience in the New York metro area. “Astoria is 6 minutes away. It’s really quick, even to Brooklyn [on the] G train. The 7 train … comes and goes every few minutes.” The Long Island City station is a hub for the MTA Subway and doubles as a terminal station for the Long Island Rail Road. Several transport stations in Hunters Point allow passengers to hop on a bus, subway, commuter train or Citi Bike. “You’re always one train stop away from Manhattan,” Stark says, adding that a ferry travels to Central Astoria and Roosevelt Island, and another goes to Manhattan and Brooklyn. Interstate 459, the Queensboro Bridge and the Queens-Midtown Tunnel connect drivers to the metro area. LaGuardia Airport is about a 7-mile drive away or roughly 40 minutes by train. “It’s really a neighborhood destination with buyers because of the waterfront, the location, the community and great schools,” says Michael Bethoney, a broker with Nest Seekers International, who specializes in luxury new developments across New York City. “But it is further from the train. It’s limited to the 7. Unless you live right there, it’s about 10-minute walk, if not more.”
The 7 train gives Hunters Point commuters easy access to Manhattan across the river.

A variety of parks, amenities and things to do
Overlooking the East River, Hunter’s Point South Park has stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, a kayak ramp and paved walking paths that lead into Gantry Plaza State Park, which offers a slew of riverside amenities, including a recreational dock, playground and dog run. Free public events, including yoga classes and family-friendly film screenings, are held by the waterfront. “I, personally, think it has the best waterfront in all of Queens,” Stark says. The Queensboro Dance Festival puts on summer performances in area parks, showcasing dance styles from around the world. The MoMA PS1 stages experimental art exhibits in a 19th-century school building off Jackson Avenue. There are supermarkets and corner delis in Hunters Point, and restaurants along Vernon Boulevard serve cuisines from a range of cultures. Casa Enrique serves Mexican dishes prepared by Chef Cosme Aguilar, a James Beard award nominee, and is one of the city’s few Michelin star restaurants offering budget-friendly options.
The Rainbow Playground offers Hunters Point kids a vibrant place to play.

Hunters Point is known for ongoing development
Development is slated to continue in Hunters Point and Long Island City. “It’s been going on for a while now, maybe 15 years or even longer,” Stark says. “The market is still going strong, and the prices never really dropped.” Bethoney notes the neighborhood used to be “totally level” as he reflects upon the explosive growth he’s seen in Long Island City over the years. “Over 3,000 condo units are coming to Long Island City in the next 36 months,” he adds.
How Hunters Point compares to Long Island City and Astoria
Hunters Point offers the closest proximity to Manhattan of all neighborhoods in the Long Island City and Queens communities. “Living four to five minutes [from the city], you can still feel the heartbeat of Manhattan, which is ideal for a lot of people,” Julian says. “There’s a sense of community here that you don’t get in the rest of Queens,” Stark says. “You’ll know your neighbor here. It has a small-town vibe in the biggest city.” Hunters Point is a smaller, waterfront community with more high-rises and newer builds, while neighboring Central Astoria is a larger, landlocked and more established community with low-rises.
