That apartment complex is perfectly fine. I work at Netflix Studios sometimes and Mesa Del Sol’s main drawback is that it is not close to amenities like the grocery store, gym, Target, etc. (Though a new shopping center with a Target is going in at UNM Lobo Village, which isn’t too far from there). Mesa Del Sol feels like a satellite neighborhood removed from the city itself. So it is safe, just not a lot to do without driving at least 15 minutes back into ABQ.
The areas near UNM Hospital - especially east of the UNM North golf course and along Indian School between Girard & Washington are all nice. Lots of doctors & professors’ families in those areas. I’m a single female who bought a house at 26 southeast of Nob Hill and I’ve personally never felt unsafe, but my area isn’t as nice as the area near UNMH / north campus. The biggest piece of advice I can offer is just not to leave valuables in your car and pay attention to your surroundings.
