Long Island City is one of the most transit-accessible neighborhoods in New York, served by the 7, E, F, G, M, N, R, and W subway lines, the Long Island Rail Road at Hunters Point Avenue, and multiple bus routes. Major institutions include MoMA PS1, the Museum of the Moving Image, and Gantry Plaza State Park. The neighborhood's combination of waterfront access, Manhattan views, and rapid new construction has made it the most dynamic real estate market in Queens.
