A new housing lottery is now live on NYC Housing Connect for a brand-new, luxury rental development at 2-20 Malt Dr. in Hunter's Point, Queens. If your annual household income ranges from $85,000 to $200,000, you may qualify for a studio, one-, or two-bedroom apartment.
Just minutes from Midtown Manhattan, thanks to easy access to the ferry and 7 train, this new development boasts stunning river and skyline views, luxe apartments, loads of amenities, close proximity to restaurants and retail—and affordability.
That's because winning the lottery at 2-20 Malt Dr. means winning big on long-term rent savings. Housing lottery winners gain the security of rent-stabilized rents of $2,490 a month for studios, $2,890 for one-bedrooms, and $3,590 for two-bedrooms. You can save an average of $100,000-plus over five years compared to what you would pay for the same apartment with market-rate rent.
For successful applicants, living at 2-20 Malt Drive in Hunter’s Point South, Queens means snagging a rent-stabilized apartment outfitted with every convenience in one of NYC’s most stylish and dynamic neighborhoods.
Studios, one- and two-bedrooms all feature an in-unit washer and dryer, stainless steel appliances and ample closet and kitchen pantry space.
High-end amenities for work and play
Sunbathe, swim, grill, get a workout in, even take a cooking class, all from your new home. At Malt Drive, you’ll find ample room for outdoor entertaining, with landscaped roof decks, barbecue grills, and a spacious outdoor swimming pool. Residents have a variety of different outdoor seating options, from dining tables to hammock lounging.
Set within a new waterfront park lined with native plants, Malt Drive residents have access to walking paths, a playground, dog run, and rolling lawns for picnicking.
Amenities for work and wellness
Inside, a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga studio, and exclusive co-working spaces with reservable conference rooms, make it easy to find your work-life balance. A children’s playroom, clubroom, lounge, and in-building dog grooming services offer entertainment to residents of all ages (and species).
There are also shared laundry facilities with over-sized washers and dryers, plus bike storage and parking options to take the guesswork out of your day-to-day duties.
Fall in love with Hunter’s Point South
Malt Drive is in the heart of Hunter’s Point South on the waterfront of Long Island City, Queens. Here you’ll find gorgeous views, brand-new waterfront parks, a thriving cultural scene, and Michelin-starred restaurants.
You won’t run out of things to do locally: experience cutting-edge contemporary art at MoMa P.S. 1 and CultureLab, and stunning sculpture at SculptureCenter and the Noguchi Museum. Socrates Sculpture Park offers free, outdoor art right on the water, year-round, and in Hunter’s Point South Park you can stroll through lush green space and spot public art installations.
Where to dine locally
The dining scene is eclectic and highly-acclaimed: try modern Mexican at the Michelin-starred Casa Enrique; a hidden Korean tasting counter called Meju, also Michelin-starred; and authentic Indian at Adda, from the same restaurateurs behind super-hotspot Dhamaka. Dutch Kills boasts impeccable cocktails, and at LIC Bar you’ll find an outdoor garden where you can catch live music and poetry readings. And conveniences abound in the form of multiple grocery stores, including a Trader Joe’s and a specialty Asian market.
And when it’s time to venture out of the neighborhood, you have options: seven minutes on the ferry or five on the subway brings you to Manhattan.
