Astoria Residents Begin Moving Into New Affordable Housing Units

ASTORIA, QUEENS — Former homeless households and NYCHA tenants have started moving into the new affordable housing units that recently opened on Halletts Point.

Over 160 new apartments officially opened this week, providing housing for NYCHA tenants, residents of Queens Community Board 1, people with disabilities, and others at 3-24 27th Avenue.

Rents range from $665 a month for studios to $1,601 a month for two-bedroom apartments.
The 14-story building includes a fitness room, a tenant lounge and laundry room, and energy-efficient appliances.

The Durst Organization, a real estate company, built the apartments on underused lots in partnership with the city.

“NYCHA is proud to be in partnership with the Durst Organization, Mayor Adams, the City of New York, Astoria residents and all local elected leaders, who worked hard to bring this quality 100 percent affordable housing development to fruition,” said Jonathan Gouveia, NYCHA Executive Vice President for Real Estate Development.
