There are no "Astoria" projects. Though, there are several projects in Astoria.

If I could pick a projects to live in, in that part of Queens, it would be Woodside or Ravenswood. From what I always heard those two projects are much quieter than Astoria projects and Queensbridge. Plus, Astoria projects in kind of secluded so not sure how safe it is around there at night. The surrounding area is very safe though, I can tell you that much.

They're very isolated, which may be a bad thing.

I visited astoria pjs about 3 years ago. Its very far from the subway and seculuded from rest of astoria especially from the transplant parts who continously bad mouth astoria pjs like if its the bronx or east brooklyn. Astoria pjs is not an exciting place, but safety wise its probably then most nycha developments. The area is very segregated, the blacks stay in astoria pjs, the greeks and italians have there two family house anf transplants live in new rental luxury developments and tenement walkups.
