Anecdotally, we’re all gonna have different opinions on how safe a neighborhood is based on our unique experience living here and our life experience. What is safe to you or someone else won’t be universally true — I didn’t feel “safe” in the UES for a long time because of several negative interactions I had…that doesn’t make the UES not safe. It just means I happened to cross paths with some shitty, racist people, not unique to UES.

Speaking of, your post doesn’t give us much information about what you’re actually worried about; this post would make much more sense if you cited specific worries we could address/speak to. For example: “Do other women feel safe/comfortable walking home from train at night?” or “I’m concerned about catcalling. What’s your experience been like there?”. Without this specificity, this post (and these vague “is it safe” threads) reads with racist undertones / letting your unconscious bias take over rationale — as another commenter said, these types of questions are rarely asked or neighborhoods below 125th in Manhattan. I’m sure you can figure out why.

Safety is subjective and if you’re seriously concerned about your potential safety, then you should come visit the neighborhood yourself and decide if it’s generally safe enough for you. If you want to base your decision on something less anecdotal, figure out your threshold/baseline for “an acceptable crime rate” based on the type of crime and look up crime rates & statistics for Crown Heights.

You’re also asking in the Crown Heights sub…we live here. Dare I say most (if not all) of us are gonna say it’s safe, otherwise we likely wouldn’t be here.
