Top tier transit options!
Pros
Prime location to get anywhere you want to go! M60 to LGA, and Manhattan N,W 5 min walk Vehicle access to triborough, grand central, BQE, basically drive anywhere North, south, east or west! Management is responsive, problems are addressed in a very timely manner and tenants are well screened
Cons
Main road, so crime can be a main concern. Avoid hanging outside on weekends, club nights, there’s no reason to hang out on the side walk unless you’re walking to your destination A fair amount of package and mail stealing, but that is common throughout NYC
Really disliked
Pros
The apartment unit itself had been updated and it was sufficient. It was not too far from Astoria Blvd. station. They would come spray for bugs once a month.
Cons
Neighbors were very loud and would throw parties. Hallways were filthy and had garbage thrown around. Packages were stolen by neighbors. Door buzzer was broken and never got fixed even though we asked many times. Always had to run downstairs to let mail or delivery people in. Could hear cockroaches in the walls and many times find them coming in through cracks. Property mgt company was terrible and didn’t care about any problems reported. Was on a very noisy street and around the corner from bars on Steinway. Many drunk people around after the bars closed and didn’t feel the safest.
Advice to the owners
Hallways and building need to be much better maintained. It’s unacceptable to have trash and food all over hallway floors. That certainly doesn’t help the cockroach problem.
