OVERALL CRIME IS DOWN!!
38th Ave. is Long Island city. 30th Ave. is the traditional cut off for AStoria and Long Island city. People moving here from all over want to say they live in astoria but 36, 37, 38 Avenue is well into Long Island city.
Yes! These areas are technically LIC but most people consider it Astoria. Nowadays, when a crime occurs in this area they say it was in Astoria but when you’re looking to get more dollar for a condo or a rental you list it as LIC.
Great observation @tote
