Legend has it that John Jacob Astor, for whom the enclave was named, never actually set foot within the New York City neighborhood of Astoria. No matter. These days lots of other folks are stepping into this West Queens bailiwick, drawn by qualities that include a burgeoning foo d scene, a location highly proximate to Manhattan, a beguiling history and most of all, Astoria’s comparative affordability vis-à-vis neighboring districts. “There has been a huge influx of people coming in from Long Island City who are priced out of Long Island City and decide their next move is Astoria,” says Arlinda…

Do homes ever truly shake their storied pasts? Sit quietly in any aged home and tales of former owners and their well-lived lives reverberate. The residence owned by Paramount pioneer Adolph Zukor is certainly high-spirited—it includes echoes of antics of such party guests as Mick Jagger and composer Kurt Weill. Further back, early stars that Zukor signed were a presence. They included Douglas Fairbanks, Gloria Swanson, Mary Pickford and Rudolph Valentino. Known as Mountain View Farmhouse, the 1930s Colonial-style residence recently came to market for $1.975 million. Set on nearly seven acres, the six-bedroom home was expanded in 1944, and…

However, his “curvy mirror” (along with the seemingly endless number of dupes) was one of the hottest looks on TikTok in the past year. So what better combination to collaborate than Ilia and Westman? During Frieze LA, the duo took over Café Telegrama in Melrose Hill to combine design and makeup in a unique and innovative way.

Austin’s new-construction landscape in 2025 is experiencing something remarkable: a controlled cooling that feels less like a letdown and more like a long-awaited exhale. After the frenzied bidding wars and razor-thin inventory of 2021—when Austin emerged as “the hottest market in the U.S.” amid surging commercial real estate investment and out-of-state corporate relocations—both builders and buyers have settled into a more measured rhythm. Rather than halting projects, developers have embraced a moderate pace, a nod to the city’s persistent population growth and robust economy. Over the past year, new-home inventory has hovered around five months’ supply (about 1,400 listings per…
