I think Springfield is very safe. Be selective on where you live. Some housing is in sketchy areas, a lot of it is not.

This. Actually go look at the physical location a place is at prior to sending an email or calling someone about it. No rental place is gonna say “yeah, it’s pretty unsafe here, I wouldn’t keep valuables in your room”

And look at the neighboring areas, too. Bad neighborhoods travel.

That’s exactly what I mean. Rental and real estate places will do everything they can to make sure the pictures on their website look great. The meth house 3 doors down won’t be shown.

True, you can have a nice neighborhood two blocks from the hood; expect you’ll get robbed
