Great potential but falls short
Pros
Pleasant location and building is clean.
Cons
Cheap construction of the building and appliances has caused so many problems. Something is always falling apart and owner is very slow to respond. Some rather annoying neighbors. Probably no better or no worse than any other NYC building, but be prepared for lots of things falling apart on a regular basis. And TERRIBLE water pressure... In the mornings, you must always remember to turn on the hot water at least ten minutes before you plan to shower. Otherwise, you'll have to take a cold shower.
Cheap rent meh location and management
Pros
Has laundry/elevator/parking Cheap rent for Astoria
Cons
Owners not responsive, takes forever to fix things
