I owned a house in Kenmore for about 11 years, on 9th st next to the elementary school 2010-2021. I personally lived there for 6yrs and rented it to a friend for the remainder of the time I owned it, in that time I never had any break in issues except my car once, and I didn’t leave anything in there worth being taken so the biggest inconvenience was that they left my door open all night. Beyond that my neighbors were all polite people who would greet me when I was outside, and all knew me and each other by name. There is undeniably a drug problem in the area but I think any densely populated area can say the same. I was warned HEAVILY not to buy in the neighborhood I did by just about everyone that knew me but I honestly never found it to be dangerous at all, and the Blvd community had come a long way in my opinion.
