A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Astorian would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
The Astorian combines a five-story elevator building with private balconies, shared roof space and on-site parking. Its 38 apartments include small studios as well as one- and two-bedroom homes. That mix gives the building several entry points within the same condominium, with outdoor space available even in some of its smallest layouts.
The building dates to Astoria's mid-2000s condominium expansion and now has an established resale market.
The active 25-year 421-a benefit is a consequential part of its carrying-cost position. The benefit began in 2007 and remains on the 2027 tax roll. This is a longer program than the shorter exemptions attached to many other buildings from that development period.
Architecture and unit composition
The Astorian's low-rise form spreads the residences across five floors. Elevator access connects the apartments, while the common roof provides a higher outdoor level. Balconies project from selected homes and create usable exterior space immediately beside the living rooms.
Studios can measure approximately 400 square feet. Larger layouts commonly fall in the 600- to 700-square-foot category, with both one-bedroom and compact two-bedroom arrangements represented. Some two-bedroom homes have a full bathroom and a separate half bath, adding a distinction beyond the bedroom count.
Open kitchens connect to living and dining areas in many homes. Other apartments have separately enclosed kitchens. Balcony orientation varies: north-facing studio balconies and south-facing larger layouts appear within the inventory. The position of the exterior opening changes how the balcony relates to the main room.
The shared roof terrace has skyline views and barbecue facilities. It adds a common outdoor amenity beyond the private balconies. Storage space is available separately within the building, providing an option for apartments whose interior area is compact.
Building operations
A video intercom controls access, and the building has an elevator and common laundry. Parking is on site, with spaces attached to or offered alongside particular apartments. A residence offered with parking has an additional ownership or use component beyond its interior square footage.
The residential tax lots are Class 2. Nineteen other lots are classified as commercial or nonresidential, alongside the building's parking inventory. Those lots should not be counted as additional apartments. The largest residential owner holds two homes, approximately 5% of the residential inventory.
The building's floor-area ratio is below the current R6B residential allowance. Its open areas, parking and roof facilities remain parts of the condominium's established arrangement; unused zoning capacity alone does not allocate development rights to an individual owner.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 4-00539-7501) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage from recorded condo declarations and offering plans.
What to know if you’re buying
Parking is apartment-specific. Some homes have been offered with a dedicated space, including larger spaces within the parking area. The space's lot or assigned-use status, dimensions and inclusion in the transaction should be established for that home; parking availability is not uniform across all 38 residences.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
