Astoria luxury condos — why buyers are looking beyond Manhattan

Astoria has moved well beyond its reputation as a budget alternative to Manhattan. Boutique condos with elevator service, modern finishes, and N/W access are attracting first-time buyers and investors alike.

Buildings to know

The Bouklis Group developed and markets several Astoria residences — including The Brielle at 25-74 34th Street, The Slate on Astoria Boulevard, and Bridgeview Luxury Residences on 28th Street.

Each offers a different price point and layout, from studios to two-bedroom penthouses.

Buying in a fast market

Astoria condos often move quickly when priced correctly. Work with an agent who knows the building's history, recent sales, and any assessment or reserve-fund considerations before you make an offer.
