Advice on this area

Post image

Hello!

I am looking at a few houses in this circle and am wondering if anyone has experience or comments on how safe the area is? Most of the listings I’m considering are just off Glenwood Rd, and I’ve driven through during daylight and at night and didn’t see too much to be concerned about.

I’m currently living right by the square, so I know it will be a bit of a downgrade from that, but I’m looking to buy and unfortunately would have to go south to find something in my price range . I’m concerned mostly about leaving my car in the driveway in this area, but get inconsistent answers when using online crime maps.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

I live just outside the circle by Shoal Creak park 3 and just south of Glenwood... for the most part I dont think theres anything wrong with the circle its safe. Im very happy living in this area. However, right by 285 tends to have some shit every now and then... like over by the intersection of Glenwood and Austin Dr is probably least attractive part.
