LIC, in Queens is one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in the country. It is not the same as Long Island, although it's on the same island.

We take family pictures every year and so far we've covered every area around Gantry Park and north past the Pepsi sign. We want to stay in LIC. Any other ideas?
Hey all, planning a move to NYC some time early-mid November. Was looking at apartments in LIC, particularly Jackson Park. Would be down to share a 2bd or 3bd!
Some info about me, I'm a software engineer (surprise surprise) working hybrid in Manhattan. I'm into video games (pc + ps5), movies/shows/anime (watching Industry rn, hyped for Dandadan), weightlifting, playing classical guitar, and finding fun stuff to do around the city!
Not really one to throw parties or anything like that, might have the occasional kick-back but generally have a pretty quiet lifestyle. Will most likely be doing stuff outside the apartment if anything.
Hmu if interested! Would love to be roommates with someone who shares similar interests/lifestyle
The room is in a flex apartment with a second roommate (I’m the person that’s leaving not the roommate). You will be subletting my portion of the lease. He typically needs the bathroom from 7 – 7:30 AM, fyi.
The building is a modern building with a doorman, elevator and laundromat downstairs. There is a bike room downstairs and a gym in the building (included free with rent). It also has a rooftop. There are no washer/dryers within the apartment but downstairs in the building.
The apartment has a nice and large kitchen space but it does not have a common area/living room. It has a dishwasher. It also has central heating/cooling that you can adjust. The apartment has large windows and lots of natural sun if you want to just keep the blinds open.
The building is in the Court Square area of LIC and very convenient for trains. It’s 1 block away from the Court Square train station (E, M, G, 7), a few blocks away from the Queens Plaza (E/M/R) and Queensborough Plaza (N/W/7) stops.
The roommate is a man in his 30s and a male roommate is preferred. He is very clean, quiet and tidy. The same is expected of you.
No couples or children allowed.
Male roommate is preferred.
The move-in date is officially December 1, 2024. There is a potential to move in late Novemeber but not early November.
Move-In Total Cost: $3,600 (You owe 1^(st) month’s rent and a deposit - $1,800 each so $3,600 total).
Monthly Rent: $1800/month.
Feel free to email me with any questions and to schedule a viewing or talk. Also DM for pics of apt (or look at my other posts).
Anyone know what happened at Jora? Police tape in front of main door and police this morning.
I host a home poker game, with a mixed crowd (neighbors, colleagues, long time poker associates, my kids' classmate's parents, etc ) also occasionally add complete strangers into the mix (after being carefully vetted of course) .
Games most frequently occur in Wednesday, but also do Friday and Sunday when possible (when wife allows it ). If you'd like to learn more, u can text me 3472459695 or DM me (slower response time).. But yeah it's a blast. Drinks, food, good vibes, ice cream,+ lots of laughs. Never a douchebag in attendance. Hit me up.
Please don't use this post to debate the legality of home poker games. To reduce interaction with trolls I won't be responding in the comment section.
🥳🥳Text me for a seat. 347-245-9695🥳🥳

Thinking about moving into LIC and been eyeing the luxury apartments. Been hard to tell how good a gym is from just the pictures they have on streeteasy, so I was wondering if anyone had any recs for good apartment buildings with good gyms?
By good gym I mean a decent amount of machines, squat racks/benches, etc. More than your typical hotel gym. So far, Jackson Park, Sven, and 5pointz seem to have the best gym (although I haven't heard great things about the last)
Hi all, I just applied for an affordable housing application for Sven using pronto housing. Does anyone know how long the application review would take? This is my first time getting invited to apply~
Anyone know where I can find some large pumpkins by tonight? Target sold out
Guys, where are we getting our cuts at in LIC? Usually go to 12pell but want to find something a little closer to home.
Any stores in LIC sell this brand? Usually buy from a Thai market in Elmhurst but can’t make it there today

Looking for something great quality and as affordable as possible :)
Could be in Manhattan as well!

Anyone interested? Ideally we could do lessons 1-2 times a week. I'm in the Hunters Point South area
Is Eagle Lofts a rent controlled building? For those people who have lived there multiple years, how have the YoY rent increases been?
Edit: I mean rent stabilized
Sorry for the dumb question. I just moved into my apartment and I’m trying to take a bath. Can’t figure out to prevent the water from draining though. Does anyone know what to do? I’ve tried pressing down on the metal thing in the drain but doesn’t seem to do anything. Any help is appreciated.
Anybody know what is up with Target escalator. It has been down for nearly 2 months. Are they turning it off on purpose?
There’s ambulances and I saw firefighters walking out of an apartment building. There’s bits of glass EVERYWHERE, strewn across a whole half avenue. Like how and why is there SO much glass?
Hey Everyone. Looking for some recommendations for bars in the area. Ideally anywhere but scene is for mid 20s guy.
Would love any recommendations.
Does anyone like the idea of having a Spanish food place in the court square area? Or possibly a Greek place or a cheap diner? I would love some more diversity in the court square area.
Does anyone know what is happening to the old palace fried chicken location? We've seen construction on it but not sure what is being taken over? Anyone know?
EDIT: False alarm, y’all :( my friend misunderstood his invitation. The event started in LIC, but then they went to a new karaoke in Midtown….
Original post: I heard a new karaoke bar is opening in LIC tonight but can’t find any information online. Does anyone know anything about it?
Just sharing some love for the Blue Pad Thai foodtruck in front of Warby Parker. The food really hits the spot in terms of flavor, and the owner is always so sweet. It does take a bit of time for them to prepare your food, but very worth it for me to support a local business that makes your food fresh. Highly recommend them!
Does any one have any information on a center that caters to reintegration of adults who are delayed or autistic? When I Google I see only the private institutions which are too expensive so figured I’d give here a try
Looking for my intellectual and spiritual Muslim brothers and sisters to discuss quranic stories, dogmas and strengthen our faith. Not sure how to get this started. Open to all ideas
