Hunters Point South Real Estate | Homes & Condos in LIC Queens NY

Hunters Point South Real Estate — Buy, Sell & Rent in Hunters Point South, Queens NY

Hunters Point South is the waterfront face of Long Island City, a stretch of newly built glass towers, a landscaped East River esplanade, and skyline views of Midtown Manhattan that rival anything across the water. The housing stock is almost entirely new construction — full-service rental and condo towers with doormen, gyms, and roof decks, plus a set of below-market affordable units awarded through the NYC housing lottery. Ten years ago much of this land was rail yard and parking lot; today it’s one of the fastest-growing residential pockets in the borough. Armas Group NYC works with buyers, renters, and investors targeting this stretch of the LIC waterfront.

Hunters Point South Queens Real Estate Market Overview

• Condo prices typically run from the high $600,000s for studios to $1.5 million-plus for two- and three-bedroom units with river views.
• Housing stock is dominated by post-2015 high-rise towers such as those in the Hunters Point South Park complex, with limited pre-war or walk-up inventory.
• Demand is driven by the 7 train at Hunters Point Ave/Vernon Blvd, LIRR and future Amtrak/NEC access, and a car-free commute into Midtown via the Long Island City ferry.
• Ongoing buildout continues along the waterfront with additional towers and park phases still being completed, keeping new inventory flowing into the market.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hunters Point South Queens

How do I qualify for the affordable housing lottery units in Hunters Point South?

Affordable units are awarded through NYC Housing Connect based on income bands tied to the area median income; eligibility depends on household size and income, and units are assigned by lottery rather than first-come, first-served. We can walk clients through the application timeline for buildings currently leasing and what documentation tends to be required.

What’s the commute like from Hunters Point South into Manhattan?

The 7 train and East River Ferry both reach Midtown in well under 15 minutes, and future Amtrak/LIRR service through the planned Sunnyside Yard area could add another regional option, making this one of the shortest Manhattan commutes anywhere in Queens.

Are Hunters Point South condo buildings a good fit for investors, or mostly owner-occupants?

Both — many buildings allow renting units out after a short seasoning period, and strong rental demand from young professionals working in Midtown and Downtown keeps vacancy low, though rules on subletting and minimum lease terms vary by building and are worth confirming before purchase.
