I would add a Lanesborough to the list of safe but close also Greylock Regional Schools are really good as well

If you can afford it, Lenox has great schools, a central location -10 min to pike, 15 to Great Barrington, 5 to Lee, and 10-15 to Pittsfield.

I don't think you'll find too many really bad areas in the Berkshires.

Your biggest issue will be proximity to schools.

The most ”run down” areas are North Adams and Pittsfield but they are no where near as bad as some places
