Many people know The Astoria as the brick castle which sits in an awkward location on the right side of Rte 29 heading into DC. What is easily missed from this vantage point is that The Astoria is a modern condominium building with a large swimming pool and ample green space. If exited from the rear, The Astoria is a short walk to the Courthouse Metro. For the budget conscious person who has to have an en suite Washer and Dryer and "walk to Metro" convenience, The Astoria is often times the answer to their home search.
