I lived in a first floor apartment on May St. alone for 5 years (2016-2021) with no issues. Worcester is like any populous city, be alert and take precautions but I wouldn't call it unusually unsafe. I also lived in apartments on Charlotte St. and Main St. during undergrad and my main concern was noise from neighbors. Happy to answer specific questions if you have any!
