Why You’ll Love It…

This Astoria Heights 1-bedroom condo boasts 772 square feet of space, and dedicates a decent amount to storage. Upon entering the unit, you’ll find three closets lining the foyer for easy access to coats, shoes, linens, or whatever else your heart desires. There are also two closets outside of the bathroom! And you’ll also find plenty of storage in the kitchen, which has lots of upper and lower cabinetry, in addition to ample counter space. The kitchen is also decked out with full-size appliances, including a dishwasher and mounted microwave.

Another highlight of the unit is the amount of natural light it gets from its numerous windows. There’s at least one window in every room, including the bathroom and the kitchen. Plus, the windows are fairly sizable, with the windows in the living room and bedroom being double-wide.

The living room has plenty of room for living and dining furniture, but there’s even more space in the adjacent bonus room, which is separated from the living room by French doors. This windowed room could easily be used as a dining room, den, home office, or second bedroom — whatever best fits your needs! The primary bedroom is also fairly large and can accommodate a king-sized bed.

This unit is located in a pet-friendly condominium complex with a live-in super and common courtyard. Nearby, you’ll find delis, Italian restaurants, pizza places and park space. Additionally, LaGuardia Airport is just down the way, so frequent fliers will benefit from relatively painless trips to the airport!

… And Why You Might Not

One big drawback to living in Astoria Heights is that there are no train lines running through the neighborhood. However, there are several bus stops nearby for the Q69, Q19, and M60-SBS. Plus, owning a car is easier in Queens than it is in Manhattan or many areas of Brooklyn. And unfortunately, there’s no closet in the bedroom, but there are two right outside of it that could easily be used as bedroom storage.

Still, if you’re looking for lots of space and a modern unit in Queens, be sure to shortlist this one!
