Hello, I have a two family in this same area. If you really want to know the crime rate simply visit the local police station in the area and they will be happy to assist you.

I wouldn't advise buying a house there for a couple of reasons. First the value of the home won't increase simply because of the location directly accross the street from a housing project. If you're trying to make money then you'll have a difficult time achieving this. If you're a family person with kids you wouldn't want them to grow up in that kind of environment. Simply put, the area is also dangerous. I've known a couple of people who have gotten mugged, shot, or beat up in that complex.

Robin,

Possibly the best resource for questions about neighborhood safety is the local police department. They have access to the most current and accurate information and are generally willing to be helpful.

Good luck
