Astoria Boulevard cuts the southern edge; the Hellgate Bridge approaches loom over the eastern third.
The N/W at Astoria Boulevard sits in the southern tail of 11102, and the Q19 + Q103 buses run the length of the ZIP up 21st Street. Drivers from the Astoria depot reach the heart of 11102 in under five minutes via 31st Street or Hoyt Avenue.
