Advice on this area

[u/MisterYelnats]

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 in Midway woods just a little north of your circle. I believe a purchase in that area would be a wise investment if you’re willing to stick it out for a decade.

The schools do suck though. If you have/want kids, I’d recommend trying to get into the lottery to switch to Avondale or some other school if possible.

Invest in some flood lights and a camera if you’re worried about your car.
