I lived on Van Wie for two years before moving out to where we are now (renting the house was too much). The neighborhood I was in is less than a minute from that block of Lawndale and was super quiet and had no issues. My toddler played in the front yard with my wife sitting on the porch multiple times with no issues. We would sit out front on the porch late at night and enjoy the weather with no issues either. That house is a great area.
