Housing types and what to expect
- Co-ops
- The lowest entry price in Astoria. Expect a board package, an interview and usually 20% down. Check sublet rules and flip taxes before you bid.
- Condos
- Easier financing and fewer rules. Most are newer and cluster in Dutch Kills and Hallets Point.
- Two-family homes
- The Astoria classic. Rent one unit and let it cover part of the mortgage.
- Single-family and attached homes
- Limited supply, strong demand. Most trade in Ditmars-Steinway and Astoria Heights.
- Multifamily (3+ units)
- Investor territory. Rent-stabilized units change the math, so review the rent roll early.
