Considered part of the larger Astoria area, Ditmars Steinway is a relaxed residential neighborhood bordered by the East River to the north. The prevalence of family homes, access to the expansive Astoria Park, and a wealth of dining options make this Queens enclave especially alluring. “Ditmars has a low-rise, residential feel,” says Patrick Smith, a licensed associate real estate broker with Corcoran who has been working in Astoria for 20 years. “On Ditmars Boulevard you have all the great restaurants and shops, access to Astoria Park, and you also have the train line on 31st Street.”

Astoria is a great place to live in. It is a residential neighborhood and it's safety at anytime of the day. The park is a great place to exercise or to have a picnic in family. It also has many amenities like the pool and the sports spaces. Also, Astoria is recognized by its diversity of restaurants and places to go out at night and have fun. It has everything I need. And, last but not least the transportation. This is the best thing Astoria have. The N and Q train are just 15-20 minutes away from the city. It is close to everything.

I love this area as a community, the parks are very local and the scenery is amazing. For the most part the community as a whole is great as well, very friendly. There's a school, transportation and stores/ food places within walking distance.
