About Astoria, Queens

Astoria runs from the Queensboro Bridge up to Ditmars, mostly pre-war brick buildings and two-family houses. Apartments here are genuinely larger than Brooklyn equivalents at the same price, and two-bedroom shares with a real living room are the norm rather than the exception.

Getting to work from Astoria, Queens

The N and W along 31st Street reach Midtown in about 20 minutes, and the M and R at Steinway serve the east side. It's one of the shortest commutes to Manhattan of any affordable neighborhood in the city.

Who shares apartments here

Young professionals, teachers, nurses at Mount Sinai Queens, actors and film crew working the Kaufman studios, and large Greek, Egyptian, and Bangladeshi communities.

The trade-off

Nightlife is bars and restaurants rather than venues, and getting to Brooklyn means going through Manhattan. If you want space and a short commute over scene, this is the best trade in the city.
