Astoria West

I recently moved out of Astoria West after three wonderful years, and I can honestly say it was an incredible place to call home. I was one of the first tenants to move in back in 2022 while the building was still under construction, and it has been amazing to see it grow into a vibrant community. The staff were by far the highlight of my experience—every concierge, resident manger, porter, and handyman went out of their way to be kind, helpful, and responsive. On the rare occasion that I had to submit a maintenance ticket, the service was fast and reliable. Their professionalism and warmth made the building feel like home, and it’s what I’ll miss most now that I’ve relocated out of state. The amenities were top-notch and truly enhanced my day-to-day life. I regularly used the gym, co-working spaces, and the pool, all of which were well maintained and thoughtfully designed. The building placed a high priority on safety and security, and it always felt reassuring to know there were strong policies in place to protect residents and their belongings. The location couldn’t have been better—close enough to everything while still offering a peaceful retreat. The shuttle service to the train was great and it's walking distance to the 30th Ave and Broadway restaurant scenes. My apartment had unobstructed views of the East River, which gave me so much peace and tranquility, especially while working from home. Overall, Astoria West provided the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and community. I feel lucky to have lived here and would highly recommend it to anyone considering moving in.

Living at Astoria West has truly been a wonderful experience. The building is beautiful, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. One of the things I appreciate most is how friendly and professional the staff are. The concierge team is always warm and helpful, which makes every day feel special. A special shoutout to Jessica in management, Booby, and the entire support staff—they’re incredibly kind, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to help residents. Their care and dedication really make Astoria West feel like home. I'm so grateful to be part of this community!

Just re-signed my lease after three years of living here! We’ve been in our apartment since the building opened, and we’ve never once thought about leaving. The space is clean and well-kept, and the amenities are everything we need. The gym is always quiet and spotless, and the co-working space has been a total lifesaver for working from home. But most importantly, the staff truly make this place feel like home. Lenny and Jose (my favorites!) along with the rest of the team are always around with a smile, ready to help however they can. Whether it’s tracking down a package or answering a random amenity question, the front desk team is always on it, too. I’m so grateful for everyone who works here and makes my day-to-day life better. You all are the best! 💛

I’ve been living here for 2 years. The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars because the majority of staff members are super nice and helpful, however cons definitely outweigh pros. So here they are. Cons: 1) Constant construction everywhere around the building which creates lots of noise. Constant water shutoffs for days due to construction. I am sorry , but if I’m paying over 4 grand for my rent — not to be able to shower or even use a bathroom for 3-4 days it’s absolutely ridiculous. You need to go to the nearby cafeteria to use the restroom. 2) With such high rent price you still need to pay extra for everything else. Amenity fees, pet fees, room or grill rental fees, bike storage fee. $1200 for pool access??? The greediness is absurdly insane. 3) It is located far away from the closest train station and there’s almost nothing around. Shuttle bus runs inconsistently and doesn’t run at all on weekends. For some people might be nice because it’s a quiet neighborhood (except for construction going on everywhere, so never mind ), but if you want to go out to restaurants or bars — everything is far away. 4) Bad system of package handling. They all stored in 3 or 4 different places which is extremely confusing. 5) multiple non-tenants homeless or mentally ill people are hanging out in the building and no one seem to care about them. There’s this homeless older gentleman on electric stroller who keeps getting in the building almost every day multiple times a day and nobody cares. Also there’s lots of sketchy areas around with high crime rate. So in my honest opinion, for how much you’re paying you should have so much more than what you get in Astoria West. And still they try to raise rent prices each year when they already exorbitant, along with raising amenity fees and adding extra charges.

Moving here was a big decision due to location and price but after living here for a month it was worth every dollar. Management is wonderful I sent multiple emails about my move in, they've answered all my questions swiftly. The date of the move in was so smooth and fast. Bobby and his team made this happen and I couldn't thank them enough! I can't wait to use the pool and invite friends over.

I've really enjoyed living at Astoria West! The building is beautiful, the amenities are top-notch, and the community has a great vibe. One of the things that really stands out is the team here—Concierge is always friendly and welcoming, which makes coming home feel even better. Big shoutout to Jessica in management and the amazing supporting staff—they're always helpful, kind, and go out of their way to make sure everything runs smoothly. Definitely recommend Astoria West to anyone looking for a place that feels like home!

Amazing staff (doormen, maintenance, porters). That’s about it. I no longer feel safe living here. The building is overwhelmingly comprised of affordable housing units, and it shows: hallways and apartments constantly smell of cigarette and cannabis smoke, and noise levels are disruptive. Many residents act inconsiderately, and the environment has become uncomfortable and unpleasant. It feels unreasonable — and, frankly, wrong — to charge market-rate, “luxury” rent to non-affordable housing tenants when the affordable housing proportion is so high and clearly impacts the quality of life. I would highly recommend that prospective renters look elsewhere.

Total scam. They lure you in with good deals, but once you renew, be ready to get drained. I paid nearly $4K for a tiny flex 1BR—plus $200/month in “amenities fees” that don’t actually cover anything. Want to use the pool, bring a guest, do one of their classes or reserve a space? More fees. Got yourself locked out of your apartment? $25 fee. Grill once = $50 charge for “cleaning” even if you leave it spotless. Shuttle’s unreliable, elevators break, gym bikes are always broken, and packages go missing. They “forgot” to charge my $25 pet fee for months, then dumped $500 on me suddenly. The worst part: when I moved out, they didn’t return my deposit within the 14 days NY law requires. No itemized invoice. Just silence. Now they’re claiming I owe for “1 day of June rent” (my last month was May) and an electric bill they never sent. By reading other people reviews with the same issue we should collectively sue the building. Total scam. Staff is friendly, but management is predatory and careless. Stay far away, there’s better and cheaper “luxury buildings” in Manhattan.
