Considered part of the larger Astoria area, Ditmars Steinway is a relaxed residential neighborhood bordered by the East River to the north. The prevalence of family homes, access to the expansive Astoria Park, and a wealth of dining options make this Queens enclave especially alluring. “Ditmars has a low-rise, residential feel,” says Patrick Smith, a licensed associate real estate broker with Corcoran who has been working in Astoria for 20 years. “On Ditmars Boulevard you have all the great restaurants and shops, access to Astoria Park, and you also have the train line on 31st Street.”

Brick townhouses and co-op buildings

A variety of architectural styles can be seen near Astoria Park, and there are many postwar brick buildings, constructed in the 1930s and ‘40s. Multifamily townhouses and single-family homes make up the majority of the housing. “The concentration of properties that are considered houses in Ditmars is much higher compared to the rest of Astoria,” says Smith. A few co-op buildings can be found, and a one or two-bedroom co-op in a 1920s-built building can cost between $225,000 and $389,000. A single-family brick home runs between $1 million to $1.6 million.
