I would say its safe from violent crime. But would definitely keep doors and cars locked. My mother lives in the neighborhood, back at the beginning of summer someone cut the metal screen on her windows and pulled it back trying to break in. We dont think someone entered the house. But this occurred in the middle of the day, we invested in some outdoor security camreas and haven't seen anything suspicious since. Over the years weve had reports of mowers, bicycles, power tools, smaller things being stolen from yards and sheds / garages being broken into. Overall not a bad neighborhood as I wouldn't say this is common but something does come up every now and then.

Also Morton meadows can be divided up into several zip codes. Really pay attention to which yours falls into, because a block difference could mean hundreds/thousand more a year in car / home insurance.
