Sometimes, it takes a museum—or, rather, the much-hyped renovation of one—to retrain the spotlight on a neighborhood. (Just look at the Bowery post–New Museum.) Since Astoria’sMuseum of the Moving Image unveiled its bombshell $67 million makeover this January, there’s been a noticeable spillover of activity onto the surrounding blocks. A 5 Napkin Burger expanded from Hell’s Kitchen to a location across the street last year, followed by popular Mexican-barbecue hybrid MexiQ, a few blocks north on 30th Avenue; the clubby Astor Room, in the former commissary of the old Kaufman-Astoria Studios; the locally sourced Mex joint Pachanga Patterson, on 31st Avenue; and grilled-cheese-and-gourmet-coffee palace the Queens Kickshaw, on Broadway. Most of the new condominiums—flashy affairs like the Santorini on 30th Street, with its “crystallized glass countertops” and designer baths—are due north or west of the museum, but renters and buyers aren’t coming here just for them. Astoria remains scruffily charming, determinedly international, and relatively affordable. Bond New York’s Kelly Killian says you can still rent a brand-new one-bedroom for as little as $1,800 a month.

Despite being sequestered in the heretofore nameless netherland behind the Time Warner Center, the blocks north of Hell’s Kitchen have begun morphing into a luxury corridor of sorts, replete with rentals and condos in buildings gilded with all sorts of amenities. (It seems only right that Urbani Truffles, the Italian supplier of fancified funghi, chose to open their American flagship here.) Donald Trump’s march southward on Riverside Boulevard has been leapfrogged by Extell and its army of gleaming residential towers. Last December, the City Council approved the developer’s plans to build Riverside Center on eight acres hugging the waterfront, with five glassy high-rises stocked with market-rate and affordable housing, a movie theater, a school, a hotel, and nearly three acres of parkland.

The last time anything exciting, buildingwise, happened here was in the early sixties, when I. M. Pei built two high-rises in the International Style between 30th and 34th Streets. Almost five decades later, this monotonous stretch finally has landed another noteworthy edifice: 303 East 33rd Street (left). It’s no Pei, but it does hold the distinction of being the area’s first LEED-certified condominium.

ASK A BUYER

Rick Marx, a partner at Ernst & Young, moved from Tampa last year into a two-bedroom apartment in 303 East 33rd Street.

Why’d you pick this neighborhood?
I work uptown, downtown, midtown, so I need someplace that’s central. We started looking in the Flatiron, but they didn’t really have a lot of new construction, so we kept moving east. And then I saw this building and I just fell in love.

What was it that sold you?
First of all, I think it’s really interesting from the outside. And it’s set back from the road just enough. You know how in New York, if you’re on a lower floor, you’re looking out onto another building? Here, it feels open.

Was buying in a green building a priority?
No, it really wasn’t. I tell people it’s a green building, and they kind of look at me. I’m very conscious of the environment, but I’m not big into the cause.

So you’re not munching on granola all day.
Not at all. People come in and they think my countertop’s marble, but it’s recycled glass. And the counters in the bathrooms look like stone, but they’re recycled plastic. It’s that kind of green.

There are no fromageries here, no performance spaces with reflecting pools. But just you wait. The streets around pretty, kid-friendly McGolrick Park (just blocks from befouled Newtown Creek) have been gaining fans, many of them upsizing refugees from Williambsurg. Prudential Douglas Elliman’s Diana Hermanowski rented 131 apartments in Greenpoint last year, and 90 percent of them, she says, were in this area.

The Septic Riviera it may be. But the action in Gowanus has only continued to amp up since its waterway was named a Superfund site last year. Joining an existing slew of nightspots are local booze-slingers like Halyards and the music hall going up on Second Avenue. There are daytime traffic generators, too: the coffee-pouring and pie-making operations Crop to Cup and Four & Twenty Blackbirds, plus artist-minded work spaces. And if those aren’t legitimizing enough, a Whole Foods will, someday, rise from a brownfield on Third Avenue and 3rd Street.

It’s far from Manhattan and far from fashionable, but that matters not a whit to the neighborhood’s frenzied home buyers, who have been snapping up one and two-family homes, and renovating them, at a blistering pace. Last year, the Buildings Department issued 77 building permits in this swath of Queens, more than any other neighborhood in the city. And there’s plenty of space left to develop. According to NYU’s Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy, 20.3 percent of buildable square footage is still available. Much of the activity is happening along leafy, low-scale thoroughfares, around 154th Street between 25th and 29th Avenues, far from the commotion of Northern Boulevard and Main Street’s Chinatown but close enough to hit them up for a late-night dumpling fix.

 LIVING IN | THE WEST 70S

‘The Suburbs of Manhattan’

Chang W. Lee/The New York Times

COMFORT ZONE In an area flanked by Central and Riverside Parks, “there's no neglected avenue,” one agent said. The scene near Gray's Papaya evinces the West 70s' busy but relaxed aura.

By JAKE MOONEY

Published: April 8, 2011

WHEN Paul Kahn was growing up on the Upper West Side in the 1980s, he recalled recently, it was pleasant and livable but a neighborhood that might seem surprising in hindsight. There were some blocks his parents didn’t let him walk on; many children, himself included, went to private school; and his Little League, which drew from both the Upper West Side and Harlem, still felt uncrowded. He has been away from the area a while — he and his wife, Star, now live in a studio on 14th Street in the East Village. But they are expecting a baby next month and are hoping to move to a two-bedroom apartment on Riverside Drive before then. (A contract, for $600,000 to $700,000, has been signed, and they are awaiting co-op board approval.)

Their anticipated new home in the West 70s evokes the Upper West Side of Mr. Kahn’s youth in many ways, withCentral Park on one side, Riverside Park on the other, and blocks of brownstones and prewar apartments in between. But given its new status as one of the most desirable parts of Manhattan it is different, too: New buildings are taller; storefronts are brighter and often occupied by retail chains. Notably, there are far more children.

That, Ms. Kahn said, is part of the appeal. “I consider the Upper West Side to be the suburbs of Manhattan,” she said. “If you want to stay in Manhattan and you’re considering having a baby, access to the park is such a benefit.”

At the same time, their building, between 71st and 72nd Streets, is near the Beacon Theater, where Ms. Kahn, a set designer, sometimes works. And the corner of 72nd and Broadway has as much bustle as Union Square, she said, adding, “That’s why I live in Manhattan.”

Which comes first, the cleaned-up park or the prospering community? In the case of this vibrant slice of ever-transforming Harlem, it’s a little bit of both. Marcus Garvey Park itself is undergoing a near–$8 million renovation, including smoothed-out sidewalks and the transformation of its existing bandshell into a state-of-the-art amphitheater. Amid the neat stretches of always-in-demand brownstones, a 28-story glass condo with an indoor pool (5th on the Park) has sprung up on Fifth Avenue and 120th Street, while nearby, on 123rd Street, there’s the recently constructed Windows on 123, a pair of buildings graced with limestone-balconied apartments and full-floor lofts.

You don’t open on 42nd Street without going big, and MiMA (awkward shorthand for mid-Manhattan) is full of superlatives. It boasts the most floors (63) and square footage (1.2 million) of any mixed-use building in midtown; ridiculous perks like a nearly NBA-size basketball court in the basement; and three Off Broadway theaters—designed by Frank Gehry, no less—anchoring the base. Plus the Hudson River is just two blocks away.

ASK A TENANT

Mark Simpson, a writer who splits his time between New York and Paris, just signed one of the first rental agreements at MiMA. He’ll be moving from Roosevelt Island this month. Here’s what sold him.

You’re about to go from peaceful Roosevelt Island to one of the busiest parts of the city—why? 
I hadn’t counted on the soothing quiet of Roosevelt Island not really fitting my lifestyle. Coming to and fro on the tram is more trouble than it is glamorous.

Aren’t you worried about living by Times Square? 
That doesn’t bother me, because I’m a people person. I have a fun New York rule: Since I can’t help everyone, I only help Francophones. Anyone who speaks French I will help.

What was your initial impression of MiMA?
I didn’t care as much about the amenities as the architecture. The apartments are well designed and spacious, and they have washer-dryers. I’ll use the gym because it’s convenient.

And how’s your apartment?
It’s a corner unit. I look toward Times Square and north into Hell’s Kitchen. I like to look out the window. I couldn’t live in a place where I faced a brick wall.

The Upper West Side’s stepchild is so perpetually overlooked that many don’t even know where it is. (For the record, it runs from Broadway to Central Park, and from 96th Street to 110th Street.) But the nabe is slowly sloughing off its anonymity, in part thanks to the five glassy buildings that comprise Columbus Square. The still-expanding behemoth is responsible for 710 rentals, two schools, and over 500,000 square feet of retail space, some occupied by stores that are, for better or worse, suburban-mall in flavor. Its construction was a battle royale, with many locals fearing a loss of authenticity and affordability—and some locals have yet to embrace the transformation (the new Whole Foods can’t have helped). But the metamorphosis continues apace, inching north along Amsterdam Avenue, which, in Buca Brick Oven Pizza and the upcoming American bistro The Neighborhood, will have more buzzy restaurants than these parts have seen in years—if ever.

The Next Big Neighborhoods?

  Today’s Gowanus Is Tomorrow’s Tribeca

  Twenty under-the-radar microneighborhoods that may just be the Next Big Thing.

  In a city that is, to quote the late, great Alistair Cooke, “the biggest collection of villages in the world,” what makes a village take off? What turns a non-neighborhood or a fledgling neighborhood or a forgotten, forlorn neighborhood into a Name Brand neighborhood? Sometimes, it takes just one big arrival—an overhauled cultural space (see:Museum of the Moving Image, Astoria), a signature building (MiMA on Far West 42nd Street), or a Zeitgeist-seizing restaurant (Roberta’s in Bushwick)—to shake a neighborhood from a stupor. Sometimes, as with the High Line, the city steps in, providing much-needed capital to enliven an area’s crumbling infrastructure. Other times, as with the damn-the-Superfund darlings Gowanusand Greenpoint, the shift comes from basic free-market forces: outpriced renters seeking more space for less rent; shopkeepers needing bigger footprints; a demand for affordable places to shake it on a Saturday night. And it’s also true that, sometimes, sleepers just suddenly wake up. (Good morning, Flushing!) Below you’ll find twenty pockets around the city pulsing with the first stirrings, anyway, of rebirth. Think of them as villages in the making.
