Astoria Apartments

Few neighborhoods garner as much pride from their residents as Astoria, Queens with its rich history and unmatched cultural presence. The area is absolutely brimming with ethnic restaurants whose incomparable flavors and reasonable prices put Manhattan to shame.

Delicious Greek food is abundant (Taverna Kyclades in particular is a favorite of many Astorians), but the real joy comes from the incredibly diverse selection that the area offers. To experience Astoria’s culinary range means to taste Brazilian home-style cooking at Villa Brazil, the complex flavors at Seva, and Turkish cuisine at Mundo, all located within the same time-honored neighborhood.

Housing options in Astoria include a diverse mix of old two-family houses, converted condos, and newer apartment buildings. Many residents keep up beautiful personal garden and apartment-dwellers can take advantage of the community green spaces scattered across the neighborhood. Living in the area is relatively inexpensive, but due to increasing awareness of Astoria’s charms, prices are slowly rising. Nevertheless, the neighborhood remains one of the most cost-effective alternatives to Manhattan with outstanding 10-15 minute commute times.

Transportation to Manhattan is a breeze by taking the N or W to Midtown while transport to Harlem or the Bronx is achieved by simply going over the Triborough Bridge. Bus lines include the 18, 19, 19A, 101, 102, 103, and 104.
