TODAY I came across an interesting rental listing on Streeteasy offering a 2br/2ba in Hunters Point for $3,500. It’s located in the Citylights Building which though a little dated and not quite amenity rich as nearby towers, is still very well located across the street from Gantry Park and near the 7 line.1 It’s also spacious at over 1,000 square feet, and on a high floor with good views and light and a renovated kitchen.2.
