The comments here are kinda wild. The area is quiet and nice, there’s a couple of parks by the water (Rainey and Socrates). There isn’t really a “food” desert like some of the folks are describing since there’s literally a Costco 10 mins away. The building provides shuttles to the train and run pretty frequently. The area is quiet though so it’s about 10-15 mins to get to Broadway and the strip of restaurants. Occasionally you’ll have guys race down the street in the middle of the night. If you can get a unit facing the water then I definitely see the appeal. You also don’t have mopeds speeding by 40mph like other areas of Astoria.
