A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Livelle 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 Livelle is a seven-story condominium on 21st Street with 33 apartments and a separate inventory of parking units. Private balconies and terraces extend outdoor space beyond the shared roof deck, and the apartments include one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations.
The development was filed by Twenty-First Astoria, LLC. Its condominium offering was accepted in January 2010 and became effective in April 2011. The DOB new-building application records the same residential count and seven-story height, connecting the condominium’s legal inventory with the physical building.
The location places the building along Astoria’s 21st Street corridor, west of the elevated subway on 31st Street and east of the waterfront. Its size gives it a relatively modest residential association while accommodating a range of larger homes and private outdoor areas.
Architecture and unit composition
The apartments have large windows and open kitchen arrangements. High ceilings and substantial closet storage recur in the original residential specifications. Split-system cooling and in-unit laundry appear in the inventory, with some later resales carrying renovated interiors.
One-bedroom homes include plans with a balcony reached from the main living area. Two-bedroom apartments can have two bathrooms and a combined living and dining room. Three-bedroom layouts add larger homes without requiring an entire floor, and upper-level residences include penthouse configurations.
Outdoor space takes several forms. Balconies project from residential floors, while selected homes have terraces or rooftop areas. The shared roof deck is a common facility; an apartment’s private outdoor allocation is a separate feature of its individual ownership.
Some homes face 21st Street, while others face the rear or have more than one exposure. The orientation affects the relationship between living rooms, balconies and the street. A rear-facing balcony can have a different outlook from a terrace opening toward the avenue, even when the interior areas are comparable.
Building operations
The building has elevator access, bicycle storage and a shared roof deck. Parking is incorporated into the condominium as 18 separately identified units. With fewer parking units than apartments, ownership of a residence does not automatically include a parking space.
The single commercial unit is also separately identified in the Attorney General’s inventory. Residential, commercial and parking interests are therefore distinct components of the same condominium, with their allocations governed by the declaration and related documents.
A 2025 filing entry identifies a non-sponsor-controlled board. The current DOF residential ownership count places the largest single holder at three apartments, or 9% of the inventory. Sponsor apartments have nevertheless continued to appear among individual sales, so a late sponsor closing does not necessarily signal a newly launched building.
The property’s tax history includes both a residential 421-a program and a commercial incentive, each beginning in 2012 with a fifteen-year term. Their tax treatment follows the relevant unit lots. An apartment purchase and a separately acquired parking space may therefore involve more than one tax bill.

What to know if you’re buying
Keep the parking conveyance explicit. If an apartment is offered with a deeded space, the contract should identify the parking unit as well as the residence. The title search, common-charge allocation and tax charges for that space are material parts of this building’s purchase structure, not just an amenity description.

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.
