Do you want all the joys of New York City but the relaxation of returning to a cozy house in a unique and diverse area? This property is located near the subway on a quiet street only a 10-minute ride from Manhattan. In addition, as one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in the world, Astoria--especially famous for its Greek and Italian food--features wonderful restaurants, so you can eat very well without the high price tag. Since the property is so convenient to the subway, you can easily explore other neighborhoods in Queens and Brooklyn that the usual tourist does not see. If you have children, you will want to visit the renown New York Hall of Science in Flushing (also accessible by subway), which is right next to the Queens Zoo. We are in walking distance from the Noguchi Museum and the Museum of the Moving Image. The Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan is a ten-minute ride, and Greenwich Village is eighteen minutes away.
Our house comfortably sleeps six. The refinished basement with a double futon is a separate bedroom with its own bathroom and access to the garden. The master bedroom upstairs is near the children's bedroom with a bunk bed.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2000
We have owned and this house for seven years and have enjoyed all that Astoria has to offer. I am a writer and a professor, and my husband is a journalist working in Manhattan, so our close proximity to the city has been a real bonus, but we also enjoy coming home to the more relaxed atmosphere of Astoria. We have been particularly happy with the fact that our kids get to experience such a diverse and lively neighborhood and that we have become familiar with people, cultures, and cuisines from all over the world.
Why the Owner Chose Queens
Cozy house only 4 subway stops from Manhattan. Great location, great neighborhood, close to all shopping and wonderful restaurants. We are a 10 minute walk from the Noguchi Museum, Socrates Sculpture Park, The Museum of The Moving Image, and others. We are a 10 minute drive/bus ride from Laguardia Airport, a five minute drive/subway ride from Astoria Park and the Triboro Bridge. Our three story attached brick house comes with a backyard with a grill, Wi-Fi, a private parking space in front, and all the activities in Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn only a subway ride away.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Though our street is quiet and friendly, the neighborhood is lively both during the day and at night. You will experience cultures and cuisines from all over the world and enjoy the nearby museums and enclaves of ethnic neighborhoods. We are a block from the N/W subway train, which will take you straight to the Upper East Side, Midtown Manhattan, Greenwich Village (the New York University area), and the Park Slope area in Brooklyn.
