The Galaxy is a boutique condominium in the Hunters Point section of Long Island City, completed in 2006. The six-story building contains just 12 units, offering a low impact living experience compared to the area's larger new construction towers. Located at 5-03 50th Avenue, the building sits less than a block from the Vernon-Jackson Boulevard 7 train (one stop to Grand Central) and two blocks from the East River waterfront parks and ferry terminal.
Apartments at The Galaxy are distinguished by their loft like proportions, featuring soaring 11-foot ceilings and oversized windows that flood units with natural light. Common finishes include Santos Mahogany wood floors, open kitchens with stainless steel appliances, European baseboard heating with individual boilers, and in-unit washer/dryers. Units range from 847 square foot one bedrooms to a nearly 2,000 square foot three bedroom, with several apartments offering private terraces or balconies. Many one-bedroom units feature flexible layouts that can accommodate conversion to two bedrooms. The building benefits from a 421-A tax abatement and notably low common charges.
Building amenities include a 5,000 square foot rooftop deck with 360-degree views of Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn (particularly popular for Fourth of July fireworks viewing), an attached parking garage with spaces available for rent at $250 per month, bike storage, and a video doorman system. The pet friendly building's prime location provides easy access to the neighborhood's dining scene, including Michelin starred Casa Enrique, as well as Trader Joe's, MoMA PS1, and multiple subway lines including the E, M, and G trains.
