Edit
Hunters Point sits on the south end of Long Island City in New York City's Queens borough. The small waterfront neighborhood also houses a historic district with row homes from the 19th century. The neighborhood attracts new residents due to its convenient location and beautiful waterfront properties. Views from Hunters Point overlook the East River into downtown Manhattan and several high-rise apartment buildings provide panoramic views of the river and city. The fantastic view of the New York City skyline is a major calling card for the area.
Those who work in Manhattan while living in Hunters Point enjoy a relatively short commute distance of only 6.4 miles, averaging 24 minutes one way. Many major roadways can be found in and around the neighborhood, as well as access to several metro lines in and out of Manhattan and surrounding boroughs.
