Is it easy to find a bldg for sale with a water view? From Google Earth it looks pretty industrial but is there much actual pollution? Are there lots of empty buildings?
I looked on real estate sites but NYC realtors don't like to give addresses - so can't really examine them on Google or Windows Live. For the condos they don't list maint fees. What a pain!
Don't leave out such neighborhoods as Coney Island, Brighton Beach, or most of the Rockaways.
For Astoria and LIC...not much pollution. But as I think you've been discovering, not the easiest thing to manage, either. Especially since both of those neighborhoods are considered to be fairly desirable.
I personally don't like LIC, I work over here and its very unattractive to me. Even the brand new condos near the waterfront, the nabe just doesn't do it for me personally. Were I'm at there are no pharmacys within walking distance, no good restaraunts of any kind, there are however 3 strip joints and my coworkers and I passed by a prostitute at 4 something in the afternoon on the way to cash a check at HSBC. The nabe also gets more shady after dark and they drop people off from Rikers on the bus right in front of the dunkin donuts a block away from where I'm at, so some more shady individuals.
