Court Square is a great location. Everything is within reach, including a supermarket and subway station on the doorstep which connects to three lines enabling easy access to Manhattan and JFK Airport. Hunters Point is also but a 15 min walk away, with a ferry connection from LIC to 34th Street and from Hunters Point all the stops down to Brooklyn and beyond. The apartment is equipped for all your needs, and from my studio the Empire State was in view. From here you can enjoy Manhattan without being in it 24/7!
