New Yorkers who are looking for luxury homes with gorgeous waterfront views will find ample options in Long Island City, where it’s common to find high-end housing without having to pay top Manhattan prices. This is the perfect neighborhood for growing families thanks to its quiet streets, but it’s also a great spot for young professionals thanks to the growing number of bars and restaurants that have sprung up in recent years that compliment the area’s vibrant art scene that includes MoMA PS1.
