I live not too far from here. To answer the earlier question, it's not a bad area at all. There are some older industrial sections and a long stretch of car dealerships along Northern Blvd but in general the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios (home of Sesame Street and the Museum of the Moving Image) is pretty cool and funky, a great mix of traditional blocks and new construction. Also, not sure what is going on with Astoria Cove in particular but Phase 2 of Halletts Point is well under way (foundation work) and Halletts North was just approved. That whole peninsula is going to look drastically different in 5 years.
