As the price of rentals skyrockets in Queens, a rare opportunity has presented itself: Steinway Estates, a new mixed-use building in Astoria, has opened up applications for 83 affordable rentals on-site.

The apartments are a mix of studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and three-bedrooms ranging from $895/month to $2,586/month for households with annual incomes between $32,023/month and $130,260/month, depending on apartment and family size. See below for the full list of options:

Per the listing on NYC Housing Connect, building amenities include a laundry room and "recreational roof deck," and for extra fees, an on-site parking garage. You can get a sense of the building via these renderings from architect Garrett Gourlay:
