How Is Astoria?

Astoria is a 15 min subway ride from Midtown and looks pretty nice from what I've found online. It's also a lot cheaper than most nice areas in Brooklyn. I'm trying to figure out why it's so cheap. Anyone live there before and want to give me input?

Astoria has a lot of ethnic people... just take a walk around there for a while, Queens is the true melting pot of NYC, keeping in mind that there is a lot less enculturation going on in metro Queens (as opposed to Bayside-Whitestone). But with that said there also is not a lot of housing in Astoria. The yellow (subway) line is kinda crappy not that every line doesnt have it's issues.
