That area isn’t bad at all. Most of the crime is stolen packages, car break ins, etc. That section Whalley by Blake is pretty brutal with public drinking, loitering, etc., so I wouldn’t plan on walking with the fam by there. It can also get fairly noisy from traffic and the occasional roving dirt bike brigade. You can get a better sense of specific crimes from the city’s website.

That sounds like some areas of town where we’re coming from so I think we’ll be fine.

Yeah, you’ll be fine. New Haven can be a pretty violent city for its size but if you’re not looking for trouble and are reasonably cautious you’ll be good to go. And if you’re into beer, there’s a bunch of good local places. Enjoy!
