Why The Concord Stands Out
- Pre-war bones that live larger. Entry foyers, hardwood floors, coved ceilings—layouts that make everyday living feel intentional.
- Elevators + live-in staff. Daily ease, fewer surprises, and a well-kept building.
- Courtyard & resident garden. A green respite uncommon in this submarket.
- Broadway corridor convenience. Cafés, errands, gyms, and a fast Midtown hop on the N/W.

Policies You Should Know (Read Before You Tour)
Pets
- Dogs: Not permitted (service-animal exception applies).
- Other pets: Typically require prior written Board consent.
Subletting
- Best for end-users. Subletting is limited and often considered only after two years of residency, with annual approvals and caps on duration. Expect Board review and fees.
- Learn the fundamentals here: Co-op basics (NY AG guide)
Move-Ins/Move-Outs
- Weekday moves are standard. Weekends/holidays may be allowed by prior written permission with a fee and refundable deposit. Follow House Rules to avoid fines.
Tip: If subletting flexibility is a must, let’s discuss your timing, documentation, and other Astoria buildings with more permissive policies. Or start here: Buyers for checklists and timelines.
Transit & Lifestyle
- Subway: N/W – Broadway in minutes; Midtown is quick and predictable. See the N line map and W line map.
- Daily life: Broadway & 30th Ave serve cafés, restaurants, groceries, fitness, and services.
- Weekends: Astoria Park, the Noguchi Museum, and Socrates Sculpture Park are a quick hop. (Astoria Park)
Market Snapshot (Price Signals, Not Hype)
- Unit mix: Mostly studios and 1BRs, with a handful of larger lines.
- What drives price: Line/exposure, floor height, renovation quality, courtyard adjacency, and carrying costs.
- Ranges to expect: Insert fresh comps at publishing. We’ll pull line-by-line results and recent $/ft² so your ask (or offer) is defensible.
- DOM: We benchmark against the Broadway micro-area and price for momentum—not vanity.
- Local intel: See our latest Astoria market report for trends and absorption.
