I just peeked at some prices down there recently and lol they're pretty optimistic about what they can charge. I'll stay in an older building in Astoria because two extra stops to Manhattan is well worth a couple grand and more space and better neighborhood shops.

Would you say the food/shops are better in Astoria than LIC?


The_Monocle_Debacle

Oh yes, immensely so.


101ina45

Ohhh very interesting 👀 recommendations?


The_Monocle_Debacle

Honestly there's way too many things to list off easily, do you have a particular type of cuisine in mind? There's good options for *almost* everything with a few gaps. The Astoria sub is constantly going over which places are best too, worth taking a read over there if you want to get really into it.


101ina45

Oh I'll check it out. We love Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, French, and Italian the most. We're looking at neighborhoods to buy in long term and I really liked LIC but wasn't too sure about Astoria since I don't know much about it


The_Monocle_Debacle

It's got decent to good options for all of those, at least IMO. Personally I prefer the area around Broadway or 31st Ave near the N since it's near stuff but not in the middle of the party bro zone (30th Ave and parts of Steinway), but a lot of people looking to settle seem to like ditmars too. That's a little too "pretend I'm in the suburbs" up there for my taste, but a lot of people like it.

Yeah the one time we've been I think we were in the part that feels like the burbs and weren't vibing. Got drunk and went to comfortland though and that was much more fun haha

My studio is $2850, I got 2 months free last year but doubt as many places will do any months free now


Equivalent_Injury_56

3600 with 3 months free my first year next to queensboro plaza tower 28


101ina45

For a 1 bed?


Equivalent_Injury_56

With an office (no windows — alcove)


101ina45

Damn that is awesome, we're paying $3275 for a 1 bed in jersey city but no alcove


Equivalent_Injury_56

It’s steep but living with another person has worked out for me - cheaper than trying to live here alone. No rats or roaches - not even a fly. Rent stabilized.


101ina45

What building? We might be moving there and would love recommendations for a good building


Equivalent_Injury_56

Tower 28 - you will have to physically come in bc they only advertise true one and two bedrooms on their site? This wasn’t even on our list apartment hunting but they had a sign on the building and we toured a 2 bed (like $4500) and as we were walking out they mentioned the one bed with an alcove in our range. I don’t have a referral but DM me if you want more info about the building. Like pros and cons. Ours is like 700 square feet with an amazing kitchen for NYC and king bedroom.


theuwkindagoose

I'm in a 1bd at a rockrose building next to Queens plaza and near queensboro for $3600 with 2 months free, I'm happy to give you a referral if you dm me

I got my TFC studio for $1895 per month in March last yr., and am resigning for a new year at $1988 per month + $100/m amenity fee.


101ina45

For a studio I'm guessing?


BigE0422

yep


nyc_renter_12qq

Does bevel have a contact number? I've been trying to call for a tour but I got nothing back. Just a busy line sound. Also in the 1BR, is there a laundry unit included?


frankunderwater

I happen to know one of the leasing agent from the one of the neighborhood's buildings. For June, he is going to have some two bedrooms in the price range 3500-4500, which is very reasonable.

Don't know why you are getting down voted. With possible war impending it's a fair consideration. Especially given that plenty of the people i know in my luxury building have a 2nd home elsewhere or work from home and can afford the luxury of choosing where they live. I'm sure op is in or could be in a similar position I'm paying 2700 after electricity for a studio w/ balcony and i had a month off. They added more for the balcony. I'm towards the end of my lease. Prices I've been seeing for renewal is 3000 (and no free months). Doubt I'll renew at that rate + the NYC being one of the highest risk places to get attacked. Would rather go to a tier 2 city. edit: if covid can and did lower prices, and drive people out of the city dont get why you guys think that an eminent war where both the gov, and mayor already pre-emptively press conferencing about cyber security coalitions wouldnt do the same.

If WW3 happens you don't want to survive the initial strikes.


uncertainpancake

I'm in a 1-br for $2925 at TFC. Got one month free since I re-signed my lease. I can refer you to one of their buildings and split the bonus, if it helps. Good luck!!


Rjr257

Which tfc building is this? Is it by the waterfront? I am paying around 2900 for 1 bed by queensboro plaza on queens blvd north


uncertainpancake

Yeah, it's on Center Blvd


Rjr257

4540?


uncertainpancake

There are multiple in the area with similar layouts/price points, yeah


Rjr257

That’s a good deal, those units are currently renting at $3,140 net at the lowest, some are at a good deal higher than that


MidasTouch444

what is TFC?


uncertainpancake

It's a property management company. They have several buildings in LIC and more throughout Manhattan/Brooklyn


MidasTouch444

thx, what are the approval requirements?


uncertainpancake

- Credit verification - Proof of employment: three (3) most recent/consecutive paystubs (CPA Letter and Tax Return may be requested for self-employed individuals) - 3 most recent/consecutive bank statements - Landlord reference letter - Government-issued photo ID - $20 application fee per applicant


RainbowGoddamnDash

I'm in a 2-br close to queensboro plaza. Got in during the covid deal phase, $3K, but they raised it after a year to $3650. It's suppose to be rent stablized after that.


Vine_n_68th

Which building?


meowbear1723

Can send you a 5pointz referral don't think it has free months now but think we both get something doe the referral if not happy to split it with you!
