Hey all!

Looking to house hack, so I would like to live in a safe neighborhood of course! What resources do you guys use to see if a specific address is in a safe neighborhood? I would appreciate any feedback! I have been having trouble finding this out on my own!

    Google it, lots of resources online.

    I would just be sure to drive the neighborhood during the day and night.

    Go to your county website and from there go to the sheriff’s department. Almost all sheriff’s departments will have public reports available that are connected to an interactive map.  Most of these maps keep various crimes and “incidents” available for up to 90 days

    That's just one of many sites that lets you search by zip code.

     Drive around. If you can't drive around, find someone local you can trust that can drive around.
