Insight into Astoria Queens, NY + Long Island City, NY

[Warren Wong]

I am looking for any and all insight into Astoria Queens NY, and Long Island City NY areas. I am hoping to invest in a 2 family home, with parking in the range of 1.1 to 1.4mil. 

Questions I have thought to ask: 

- What are the good and bad areas? 

- What are things I should pay attention to?

- How is renting in the area, short vs long term, college students, vs young professionals?

- Transient versus Long time home owners?

- Insights into home prices, its the highest its ever been? 

I've been in the area a few times, and looking to canvas the streets to get a better feel and hopefully get a better feel. 

Any thoughts or insights would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
