If you are really concerned about crime (as anyone should be), but still can't budge on the max price, have you tried looking a condominiums as an option? You're gonna be able to own a home, but I will be honest that the condo market is not as great of a return on investment as rowhomes/single family homes in the metro area. While you didn't give us much to go on in terms of size and other features, here's a couple options to get you started on considering a condo as an option. (I am assuming you have one child in addition to your partner.)

Again, you may not be able to find anything because your criteria is severely constrained. That's not you're fault, but an unfortunate byproduct of the society we have created for ourselves. Safety, affordability, and availability are all mutually exclusive criteria for housing. That's a national trend.

EDIT:

OMG, I can't believe I didn't even get into the biggest red flag you should be considering when making any type of property purchases right now: interest rates. They are constantly being increased by the Fed and that's gonna make loans much much harder to come by as I assume you don't have the case lying around to purchase the home. You honestly are 99% better off renting, especially in a city that doesn't get the best return on investment for cheaper properties.
