A three-bedroom, 3 1/2-bathroom apartment has set a new record for rentals in Astoria at $5,000 per month, according to an agent at Douglas Elliman, which had the exclusive listing.
The Greek owner of the townhouse, on 35th Street,lives in Geneva, Switzerland, and did a wholesale renovation of the property with European-style finishes.
The unit was listed in late January and Kinslow had his tenants lined up less than two months later.
“They are three guys in their mid-20s, all Ivy League graduates who work in finance and were looking for more space,” he said. “They really like the feel of the community, having moved from the East Village where they say everyone is there to just party.”

The yuppy movement continues....you must be absolutely crazy to pay 5k/month to live in Astoria. Why should people overseas even be allowed to buy property in already crowded cities in the first place? This is why our housing prices are out of control and the government does absolutely nothing to Stop it.
The renters are lazy. For $5,000 a month you can do just as well in Manhattan by looking around.
Three Ivy League Finance cockroaches, like Bernanke.
They graduated from Ivy Leagues and still have roommates!?
This proves that not all Ivy League grads are smart!
so what night is this sitcom on?
Since the owner lives in Switzerland, does he have a Swiss bank account? *har* *har*
