Astoria is another neighborhood of Long Island City, but like Sunnyside, it has its own identity. Even some residents raise an eyebrow when told the neighborhood is actually Long Island City.

Meanwhile, as Astoria real estate has climbed sky high, local real estate brokers would like to push the neighborhood's boundaries onto more humble Dutch Kills.
