23-37 31St Rd

A boutique condominium constructed in 2014, this five-story, 13-unit building in Astoria offers primarily one-bedroom residences arranged in efficient floor-through layouts. The architecture is contemporary and low-scale, with elevator access to all levels and a mix of private outdoor spaces including individual balconies and a communal roof deck. Interiors feature high ceilings, recessed lighting, dark-stained oak floors, eat-in kitchens with quartz counters and stainless-steel appliances, and practical touches such as multiple closets, built-in entry storage, and occasional bidets. Shared facilities center on outdoor living: a planted 1,500-square-foot garden with patio seating, fire pit and BBQ that can be reserved for events, plus a rooftop terrace with neighborhood and Manhattan sightlines. The building provides resident conveniences—complimentary laundry on the lobby level, bicycle storage, individual basement storage cages, and elevator service—while maintaining modest operating costs aided historically by a 421a tax abatement. Policies favor owner-occupancy in a quiet, tree-lined residential block close to subway lines, creating a compact, community-focused condominium experience for commuters and neighborhood-oriented buyers.
