In fact, with 56,585 persons per square mile in the neighborhood, it is more packed with people than 98.9% of the nation's neighborhoods. Being a walkable neighborhood can help increase property values for the simple reason that people enjoy it and value it.

And, according to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive and first quantitative walkable score index, the Astoria Blvd / 29th St neighborhood is one of the most walkable neighborhoods in America.
In addition, the Astoria Blvd / 29th St neighborhood is very unique in that it has one of the highest proportions of one, two, or no bedroom real estate of any neighborhood in America. Most neighborhoods have a mixture of home or apartment sizes from small to large, but here the concentration of studios and other small living spaces is at near-record heights.

In resort or second-home vacation areas, this naturally occurs because homes and apartments are seasonally occupied, and empty for a portion of the year. In non-vacation or resort areas, however, this can be an indicator of property abandonment or a weak real estate market. The vacancy rate here is 33.3%, which is higher than 95.4% of all U.S. neighborhoods.

But NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis shows that the Astoria Blvd / 29th St neighborhood has a highly unusual pattern of car ownership. 53.2% of the households in this neighborhood don't own a car at all.
