Why would i need a virtual office in Long Island?

Considered the largest island in the continental United States with a size of 1377 square miles, Long Island is located in the state of New York and is home to a population of 7.4 million. This elongated shaped island is divided into four counties, namely Kings and Queens on the western section of the island, and the larger Nassau and Suffolk counties on the east. As the Kings and Queens counties are all part of New York City, references made to Long Island typically refer to the counties of Nassau and Suffolk only.

The counties of Nassau and Suffolk have been considered to be an affluent area with the median price of residential homes reaching a value of $500,000. This is largely due to the proximity of these areas to the city of New York, which accounts for the increasingly high-priced suburban neighborhoods. In fact, Long Island has been regarded as one of the safest places to live in the United States, due to a focus on a comprehensive police patrol system incorporating county and state police departments.

Long island City

The Long Island City is located in the county of Queens, sometimes abbreviated as L.I.C., at the northwest section of Long Island. Although bakery was the main industry in this city, with factories of Sunshine Bakery, Silvercup Bakery and Chiclet Gum built here, this is no longer true today as these factories have all been relocated. Today, Long Island City serves as a center of artistic and cultural center through the development of the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) and the Museum for African Art. This has successfully attracted the setup of many studios of artists eager to escape the high prices of Manhattan and Brooklyn. With the rise of Long Island City as an artistic center, many supporting businesses have gradually begun to mushroom in this area. Amongst this would be the Citibank tower that had been built in the 1980s. With this, Long Island City would be an ideal location for a virtual office of companies involved in the arts and culture industry.

Within Long Island City is a plethora of neighborhoods, each with its own distinct uniqueness. For instance, Hunters Point is in the midst of developing into a premier residential neighborhood, while the Queens Plaza is a notorious area. Dutch Kills is an old neighborhood of a mixture of residential and industrial buildings, while Astoria is regarded as one of the best residential neighborhoods in Long Island. The major access road in Long Island City is Borden Avenue, which connects Long Island City to New York City, with other main roads in this city inclusive of the McGuiness Boulevard, Queens Boulevard, Thomson Avenue and the Northern Boulevard.

Nassau County

Next to the Queens County lies Nassau County, well renowned for affluence. There are three major towns within this county: North Hempstead, Oyster Bay and Hempstead. With North Hempstead spread just over 60 square miles, much care needs to be placed to ensure that industrial developments do not interfere with residential facilities. Much emphasis has been placed on recreational facilities, which is why there are 38 parks and a sunny beach in order to cater to these requirements. There are several office areas that serve to provide reasonable office space for business owners. These would be within the location of Great Neck, Lake Success, New Hyde Park and West Nassau. In fact, the North Hempstead Community Development Agency has designated several development projects in New Cassel to develop residential and commercial spaces along the Prospect and Union Avenues, which includes 45,000 of retail space and a 4,500 square foot Gateway Park. The majority of the development would include buildings for residential use.

The town of Oyster Bay stretches north to south from Long Island Sound to South Oyster Bay as well as the Atlantic Ocean. Consisting of 18 smaller villages, Oyster Bay is mostly a residential area with clusters of small retail businesses comprising of retail businesses aiming to serve the nearby community. These would include local bank branches, florists, laundry and restaurants. Similarly, Hempstead is also mainly a residential area with 22 smaller towns and also a cluster of retail businesses aimed to serve the local community.

Suffolk County

Additonally, Suffolk County is another county located at the eastern section of Long Island, and comprises of 10 towns with many smaller villages. Similarly to Nassau County, most towns in Suffolk are also residential areas, with local retail businesses located in these towns aimed to serve the local community. Most of the county offices are located in the towns of Hauppauge, Smithtown and Yaphank, areas in which there is a greater density of population.

All in all, Long Island is mainly a residential area, with many of its residents working in New York City and traveling to and fro within these two locations. Thus, virtual offices that would be suitable here would be retail businesses catering to needs of the local community. Apart from that, there is also an abundance of attractions in Nassau and Suffolk counties to attract weekend visitors. These would be the Vanderbilt Museum, the Walt Whitman Historic Site, Splish Splash – a water park, and a Tanger Outlet Center in Suffolk County. In Nassau County, attractions comprise of the Eisenhower Park, the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts and the Children’s Museum. With this, having a virtual office or an office space for businesses catering to tourism would also be ideal in these locations.

conclusion

In conclusion, Long Island is an ideal virtual office site and office space for companies in the residential or tourism industry. Through Long Island’s reputation, virtual offices set up here would be highly regarded as corporations that aim to provide services to the residential community in the vicinity.
