The growth of NYC is quite evident when looking at the city skyline from the outskirts. Long Island City has always been known for its sweeping views of Manhattan, but the neighborhood is quickly replicating Manhattan’s astonishing high-rises and gleaming glassy towers. Here is a list of three Long Island City developments that still have availability for people interested in making this growing neighborhood their home. 

Just across the East River from Manhattan is the city's largest borough, Queens, which has always held the reputation of being home to diverse neighborhoods, beautiful green spaces, and luxury rentals for a more affordable price than you’ll find in the city. A new addition at 11-07 Welling Court, has recently been completed in Astoria, and apartments in the boutique rental have recently hit the market.

The Upper West Side has always been known as an area in the city that’s managed to hold onto its neighborly feel, as the rest of Manhattan continues to grow upward. The classic low-rise towers, brownstone townhouses, tree-lined streets, and beautiful green spaces like Central Park are just a few things that make the Upper West Side a highly desirable place to live. New residential developments in the UWS are not as common, but luckily some of the residential buildings in the area that still have availability rank among the most lavish in the neighborhood. Here are three rental developments that you won’t want to miss!

In 2017, a new rental development was completed on York Avenue, one of the first in this location in quite some time. Sales at The Rose Modern began in 2016 before the building was finished, but some homes in this lavish Upper East Side rental are still up for grabs.

In 2014, renderings for a new Long Island City residential development were first revealed. Four years later, the development sits at 44-41 Purves Street completed and with gorgeous homes currently on the market.
