Close to the core of the Big Apple, Hunter’s Point District’s burgeoning high-rise buildings complement its celebrated neighbor across the East River, Manhattan.  The District serves as an entry point from Midtown Manhattan to Queens, on Subway no. 7 train.

Dubbed as the Millennium County, the Borough of Queens is known as the most diverse or multi-cultural county in the United States owing to the presence of numerous international organizations and agencies, led by the UN;  their staff and families, let alone, the multi-ethnic groups.

In addition, scores of young families, young professionals, businessmen, writers and artists have established their homes, along with their enterprises, in this gentrified section of Long Island City.   Many of the UN staff and other international organizations have also relocated to Hunter’s Point which is in the proximity of their workplace.

The Townhouse, located at 10-11 49^th Avenue (between Vernon Boulevard and Jackson Avenue), L.I.C. is two blocks from the Waterfront – across the East River from the United Nations (UN) Headquarters.
