How the Astoria waterfront transformation is reshaping the neighborhood's real estate market
Astoria had 23 new-construction condo listings active on the RLS on October 1, 2026, out of 95 active listings in the neighborhood overall. The median closed price over the last 90 days was $810,000. I have worked with buyers and sellers across Queens for 25+ years.

Source: StreetEasy Market Reports. A month with 31 sales is a small sample, and a few high-priced closings can lift the median.
Pending contracts (56) outnumber the closings of the last 90 days (25) more than two to one, so closed prices lag deals already under contract. The median closed price per square foot was $1,109, against $1,071 for current listings.
New-construction condos make up about a quarter of Astoria's active inventory, and asking prices for the ones I pulled run from $560,000 for a studio to $1,439,500 for a two-bedroom.
The 15 new-construction listings I reviewed sit in two buildings. 30-55 Vernon Boulevard, on the street that runs along the East River, has studios from $560,000 and two-bedrooms from $1,250,000 to $1,439,500. 25-23 Newtown Avenue (Roma Condominium), a boutique building, lists one-bedrooms from $775,000 to $825,000 and a two-bedroom penthouse at $1,195,000.

The N and W trains run to Midtown Manhattan, the ferry lands on the East River, and the Q102 and Q103 buses serve the waterfront. Astoria Park has sports facilities and East River views.
