I can’t speak on your specific location but I have lived in a lot of dodgy areas in my life (outside of New England) - my neighbors in these locations were so kind, so welcoming and looked out for each other. It’s so strange the mentality out here that in poorer neighborhoods everyone is out to get you. Like crime exists in cities, wherever you are.

If you aren't looking for trouble you won't find it in most neighborhoods, good or bad. Now if you are looking for drugs or sex, that is a different story. Definitely good people in the valley.

Had that conversation with my brother yesterday. Travel outside the country as much as I can. Belize, Copenhagen, Puerta Plata, Tallinn, St. Petersburgh. Everywhere are great people. Went into a few sketchy areas. Never felt threatened. Grew up in a fairly rough neighborhood (Elmwood) in the 70's, so I pay attention to what's going on around me. Be aware. That being said, Valley St. can be sketchy
