There’s so much to love about Astoria, Queens. Located just across the East River from the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Astoria offers art, music, nature, culture and — of course — world-class eats. It’s also consistently associated with affordability. To help support that reputation, we’ve rounded up our favorite Astoria 1-bedrooms under $3000 per month. Don’t see anything you like below? That’s okay, too: There are plenty more listings on StreetEasy here.
Our first featured Astoria rental comes with enviable building perks, like a doorman, multiple communal outdoor spaces, and a top-of-the-line fitness room. Inside the unit itself, the newly-updated kitchen opens up to a flexible space with room enough for a 4-person dining room table and a sectional couch. This common area benefits from extra-large exposures that double as a door to a private balcony. The bedroom is roomy, with space for a bed plus extra furnishings. The $2,750 per month lease is rent-stabilized and includes heat and gas, leaving lucky tenants only responsible for the electric bill.
Check out this impeccable 1-bedroom unit located in the brand-new Allure Astoria building. A gleaming marbled bathroom, floor-to-ceiling windows, and hardwood flooring makes this residence the picture of elegance. Add access to a private rooftop deck to the mix, and you’ve got your perfect summer spot. Act fast to take advantage of the current rent concession, which waives the $2,800 rent for 2 months on a 14-month lease, making the net effective rent $2,400.
This next listing offers something a little bit different than your standard luxury building unit. Located on the top floor of a multi-family home, this sunny apartment provides quiet, residential living without sacrificing access to all of Astoria’s restaurants, shops and culture. It’s also stylish, with mint green walls creating a nice wash of color throughout. And you can’t discount the affordability: The $2,100 per month rent is inclusive of heat and hot water.
Our next rental comes with amenities that make its $2,800 per month price tag well worth it. Multiple closets are peppered throughout the apartment, as are convenient, high-quality appliances like a dishwasher and in-unit washer/dryer. A gorgeous dark wood counter sits off the open kitchen, creating the perfect breakfast nook. Beyond the unit, the building includes a chic lobby with reception desk and community grills on the expansive rooftop deck.
The last featured home in our roundup of Astoria 1-bedrooms under $3000 is tied for the title of most affordable home on this list. A flexible living/dining room area gives way to a large, entirely separate kitchen. Retro wooden cabinetry and liberal countertops make this space both stylish and functional. The wood accents continue in the bedroom, where a large closet with accordion doors provides ample storage. The bedroom is roomy enough for a queen-size bed and multiple additional furnishings. And bonus: Cable and wifi is included in the low cost of $2,100 per month.
