 Long Island City was its own independent city made up of Ravenswood, Dutch Kills, Hunters Point, Astoria, and Steinway.  Today Long Island City just contains its main area and Hunters Point.  Long Island City has seen many changes over the years, it started as mostly manufacturing plants and large industrial warehouses.  Today, Long Island City has become mostly commercial live work spaces, with a few residential brownstones.  Most recently, Long Island City is experiencing a good amount of neighborhood construction of shopping malls and residences.  In Hunters point there are plans for a 20-acre complex which consists of 15 residential buildings, four commercial office buildings, and 225,000 square feet of retail space. Long Island City has begun to flourish as an ideal suburb to reside in, because of the newly planned construction and the ease of access to Manhattan.
