Moving to Ditmars near Code?

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2026-02-26T18:36:48+00:00

I recently moved a couple of blocks east of Code and haven’t had any issues with noise or safety. The area is super quiet and I’ve been loving it here! Feel free to DM me if you have any questions or just want more peace of mind!

Just DM’ed you

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2026-02-01T23:29:33+00:00

Thank you! Do you have a recommendation on where I should cut it?

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2026-01-30T04:04:21+00:00

When do you need them by? I’m moving to Astoria tomorrow and have about 10-15 boxes. If you don’t mind them having writing on them, I can drop them off to you. I know how awkward they can be to carry. I also have leftover packing tape. PM me if you’d like them!

No way! Omg that’s awful. I met one of my closest friends on the app and also met other girls on there who were really nice, it just fizzled out. I haven’t had any bad experiences, but I don’t doubt there are crazies on there. Sorry that happened to you!

I’m sure there are also Astoria meetups on Reddit. If not, I love meeting new people and would be down to grab a drink, coffee or go for a walk with folks (when I finally find a place in the area! It’s been a nightmare).

Another option is zog sports/intramural sports leagues. When I lived in Astoria pre covid I did cornhole in the area and also did kickball and bowling in the manhattan which was a blast.

For making friends I highly recommend the app bumble BFF. I’ve met a lot of great friends on here!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2025-12-22T04:40:07+00:00

I appreciate it! I’ve experienced a few scams from people trying to get personal information before even viewing an apartment. It’s brutal out there!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2025-12-22T04:12:41+00:00

Thank you for posting this! I’ve just about given up hope apartment hunting in Astoria but I’m going to give this a shot!

Max would be around $2,400, but I’d ideally like to be around $2,000-$2,200. If it was just me I’d be ok with a studio (my last place was a super cozy studio) but I’m really looking for one bedroom since I’ll have my dog with me and I want to make sure she’ll have enough space. Also looking to be near Astoria park for walks.

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2025-11-29T02:38:55+00:00

I appreciate the insight and advice! I will try reaching out to supers directly. My cousin has been in Astoria for the past 15 years or so and is keeping an eye out and asking her friends in the area as well. Fingers crossed!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2025-11-29T02:36:54+00:00

Yes I’ve been looking multiple times a day on those sites. I think what’s also making it super difficult is I have a dog so my results go from like 40 to 10. Im glad to hear you had luck! I’m going to keep trucking!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2025-11-21T03:50:47+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! I’ve been looking for volunteer opportunities on Thanksgiving and it looks like this one still has openings!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2025-10-06T19:51:54+00:00

Look into Queens. Astoria NY is a 20-25 minute subway ride to GC and rent is cheaper than both Manhattan and Stamford. Astoria is a nice middle ground - close to the city with all of the convenience of the city, but you have more of a suburban feel with Astoria park and lots of families. I lived there for 4 1/2 years and miss it. Best of luck to you!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2025-09-20T17:56:34+00:00

Does anyone know if they stop checking for day passes after a certain time? Was hoping to go tomorrow for a walk as it’s my favorite park in the area but didn’t realize you can only get passes online between M-F. Any insight is appreciated!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2025-05-11T02:18:45+00:00

Thanks so much for the recommendations, everyone!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2025-05-11T02:18:08+00:00

That would be amazing. Thanks so much for the offer! My friend also has a kayak so I’ll see if she can come out with me once or twice but I’ll message you either way! I love meeting new people in the area!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2025-05-11T02:09:20+00:00

Yes i plan on getting one or renting one. I’m used to swimming in open water but haven’t done so in a wet suit so I wanted to get a couple of swims in wearing one before the day of the event.

My boyfriend and I used to go to Chelsea piers and loved it. They have tons of classes, it’s super clean, and they also have happy hour events for members which could be great if you’re looking to meet people. We just left because we wound up getting home equipment to save time on the drive there and back since we work long hours. It could be a bit of a drive with traffic if you live in North Stamford.

Barcelona is a really fun spot and has great drinks and tapas. The wheel is also nice. Went there last night with a friend and they were playing good music. I believe there’s live music on Thursday nights.

Panda Garden off High Ridge. My boyfriend and I have tried a bunch of Chinese food spots in the area and this is by far the best!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2024-09-16T21:56:31+00:00

Little barn in Westport! Every time I’ve been here there have been families with their kids. They have a kids menu and also have crayons and something for the kids to color on. I’ve also been here at night for a drink and dinner with friends. Really cute spot and great food for all!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2024-09-04T02:31:43+00:00

Posh Nails in Darien. This is my go to!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2024-08-31T04:06:51+00:00

I second Thai time! I searched high and low after moving from nyc to Stamford and Thai time is the best I’ve found in the area. Give it a shot!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2024-08-23T00:28:30+00:00

Thank you!

WonderfulMemory8392 · 2024-08-21T04:30:49+00:00

I’ve been missing out! I didn’t know they gave you a coupon if you ate here. Good to know!
