Astoria is seeing a residential rise
in condo owners, according to data
from a new Queens market report
released earlier this month.
New data from the Modern Spaces

Astoria market has tripled the number of
first quarter closings on condominiums
in the neighborhood. According to the
report, the average closed price has
seen both quarterly and yearly gains.
During the first quarter (Q1), the
average closed prices for one- and
two- bedroom condos were $660,518
and $943,750 respectively. In the
second quarter, the average closed

$956,058. Overall there was a 13
percent yearly increase in closed
prices for Astoria properties, with the

Data also showed that the average
closed price per foot in Astoria proper-ties
experienced an increase from Q1
to Q2. The average closed price per
foot for one- and two-bedroom condos
was $1,081 and $902 in Q1, and

Q2 was $1,347,637 at The Livelle
and $1,178 at Verona Condominium,
according to the report.

one bedroom apartments in Astoria
is 251. Two- and three- bedrooms
spend an average of 166 and 124

In addition to data about Asto-ria,
the report also includes sale

neighborhoods have also seen yearly
and quarterly increases; a 9 percent
increase in Long Island City condos
and a 13 percent increase in Flush-ing
