Moved to Astor place about 2 months ago , find the neighbors very friendly and there is a block association which gets together every couple of weeks (still haven't had a chance to attend). I commute to midtown and it basically takes me a 5-10min drive to grove street path, 15-20 to 33rd st and another 10-15 to midtown. About 30-40 min commute each way (no bus traffic). The area guess is what they would call "up and coming" and would definitely recommend coming around at different times of day to check your tolerance level. I do see what seems to be new transplants in the area, but there are also many longstanding neighbors that take pride of their block. Think I know the house in Summit you may be looking at, really nice prominent prop. Not sure about the renting market here.

Thanks CnD and BergenHill. Any comments on the surrounding area? There is a very nice row up for sale on 67 Summit but not sure if there is street parking on that block. Think it's being sold by Sotheby's.

Great, is there a website?
I'm moving to the area and would like to have more info.
From what i've seen and gathered the immediate neighborhood looks OK. Any advice?

Moving to Astor Place anyone familiar with the area? I also thought it had a neighborhood association but when I go to the site the last post was from 2006??

Moving to Bergen Hill, scoped out the area a couple of times there are many blocks with row houses from the 1880's some seem to be getting renovated and in good shape. Anyone have more info on the area around Astor Place?
