SAFE

"Crowd-sourced safety data keeps families aware of actual ground reality, far beyond stale official spreadsheets."
Well-lit avenues, active dog walkers, but watch the alleys after 11 PM
Lived here for 3 years. The main streets along 6th St and Campbell are very safe with consistent foot traffic and university escort patrols. Sidewalks are wide and clean. My only advice for students and solo walkers is to avoid the darker unpaved alleyways between 3rd and 5th Street late at night.
Weekend nightlife is vibrant with high police presence, very walkable
Congress Street and Broadway have heavy police and security visibility on Friday/Saturday nights. Plenty of open restaurants and well-lit parking garages. Sun Link streetcar makes getting home safe and convenient.
Dim lighting near bus stop on Grant & Alvernon — stay alert
Transferring buses after 8 PM felt uncomfortable. Multiple streetlights were out and there was lingering foot traffic near the corner convenience store. Would recommend waiting inside the well-lit gas station if traveling alone at night.
