A competitive market of homes and co-ops
Apartments dominate housing in West Astoria, but there are also plenty of homeowners in the neighborhood. Renovated co-ops on the north side fill midcentury high-rises, with some units providing views of the Manhattan skyline. Small single-family homes are more common on the west side of the neighborhood. The market is competitive across Astoria, says Thomas Caramanno, a Realtor with Compass Real Estate who lives in the neighborhood. “The inventory is still quite limited. I had a buyer I’m working with who went to see a house listed a week [earlier]. The listing agent was doing scheduled showings. We got there and were one of about 10 people in line. More were coming when we left.”
Two-story brick homes make up a large part of the West Astoria community.

Parks along the East River
The waterfront was once an industrial area, but that has changed in the last few years, Caramanno says. “There’s a concerted effort to redevelop the waterfront. There was nothing there, and now you take a walk or drive around, and there’s restaurants and shops. You’re going to see that area grow in the next decade.” The city finished renovating Rainey Park in 2025, outfitting the waterfront green space with a new playground, splash pad and bike racks for those who want to cycle the park’s wide, paved trails. A trail connects Rainey Park to Socrates Sculpture Park, where you can wander among works of art that are frequently swapped out. The park hosts events, from craft workshops to the Halloween Harvest Festival.
Socrates Sculpture park is home to some of the most amazing sculptures in all of New York City.
