Summary

Lumen LIC offers in-home laundry, an outdoor pool and spa, and extensive shared facilities in a newer Long Island City tower. Residents praise the amenities and front-desk team, but elevator problems recur well beyond the initial opening period. Sound insulation also receives mixed feedback, making the actual apartment and elevator bank important parts of a tour.

Rent history

Recent studios and one-bedrooms have asked roughly a fifth more than the Long Island City median. Weigh that premium against the apartment’s layout and outlook, then add any amenity membership.
