THE LIC YOU COME TO KNOW ON FOOT
Along 45th Avenue and a portion of 23rd Street, Hunters Point’s designated historic district preserves a concentrated collection of nineteenth-century residential architecture. Stone stoops, brick façades, cornices and rooflines give each row its own character.
For a buyer, that character is the beginning of the conversation. This guide connects the details that draw you to a house with the records, condition questions and preservation planning that help you understand it.
