Apartments for Rent in Astoria NY

Astoria stretches across the northwest edge of Queens, right along the East River, with the N and W trains getting you to Midtown in about 20–30 minutes and Long Island City’s offices just one stop away at Queensboro Plaza. You’ll find apartments for rent in Astoria ranging from classic prewar walk-ups to townhouse-style homes and newer waterfront buildings. Weekends revolve around Astoria Park—home to the city’s largest public pool, running track, and riverfront views of the Hell Gate and RFK bridges—plus cultural spots like the Museum of the Moving Image, Kaufman Astoria Studios, the Noguchi Museum, and Socrates Sculpture Park. 30th Avenue and Broadway buzz with Greek tavernas, Middle Eastern bakeries, and trendy new restaurants, while Steinway Street handles your everyday shopping needs. The NYC Ferry from the Astoria landing makes getting to Roosevelt Island, Midtown, and Wall Street a breeze, so rentals near the ferry or N/W stations are definitely worth considering.
