I'm in my mid-20s and I'm looking to purchase a condo in NYC. I'm interested in Astoria but I'm unfamiliar with the area. I know it as a family-friendly, blue collar, boring place full of senior citizens. Is this true? Or is it actually fun? Also, how is the commute to downtown? Finally, if I tell a lady in a bar that I live in Astoria, will she think I'm lame? If so, what other areas can you recommend where 1BR condos are <$450k. Thanks.
Astoria residents in their mid-20s will get preference for best answer.

Not at all. Astoria's cool. It has great greek food and is about as close as you can get to midtown manhattan, and still be cool.

a lot of people do now. several of my friends have moved there from the city b/c they get more for their money. just make sure that you live near a subway to make getting into the city super easy.
