Crime usally does'nt determine home prices, a good place to check out crime rates for different areas in and around Houston (and Tomball) if this is a concern to you can be checked at; www.neighborhoodscout.com/tx/houston/crime
Home sales are actually up this month, check out the HAR report. Still, the inventory of homes, foreclosures and new construction all play a part in the comparative market analysis for a particular area, and the local economy plays a big part too. If you plan on moving in the next five years you may want to avoid buying in an area where values have been deteriating and buy where value has remained more consistant. Check out the subdivision on a weekend when most people are home. Do you see familys out and about with children playing etc; ASK the neighbors who actually live there!... more
Your local police department probably maintains a web page with the information you are seeking. Remember newspapers? Some are still around and they keep stats on crime. The Longmont Times-Call has a map that illustrates the different crime patterns and stats - for what crime we do have. Longmont and Highlands Ranch were reported in the news as two of the safest places in the state.
There are also web sites that show the addresses for sex offenders.
Brittany, these are general questions and you can say that generally there are these types of crimes anywhere - though some parts of Colorado may not report a single murder in an entire year.

Hi Mary,
In order to help you, while it’s not appropriate to start making excuses, I am because of the length of my reply. You’re being provided with loads of information from the other respondents.
As a suggestion for you...please go to my website http://www.billhaydenrealty.com and on the Home page on the upper tool bar click on the center button labeled OKC Metro MLS a new page will come up. Enter the Zip Code 73160 (this is a Moore Zip) click the search button. This will bring up all of the homes currently for sale in this Zip Code beginning with the cheapest. Just scroll on the page numbers for the price of homes you are looking for. You can also use this for other Zip Codes as well, MLS numbers, and addresses. I've found Zip Codes give the best results though when you want to see available homes in this Zip.
To find additional Zip Codes….I’m partial to Google Search. Just type in “Oklahoma City Metro Zip Code Map” this will bring up several sites with Zip Codes listed. About.com is a good one and simple.
Once you identify the homes you and your husband are interested in and as Bridgett mentioned go to http://www.news9.com on the page that comes up click on crime, a new page will come up. On the right hand side scroll down about midway to the “Crime Tracker” button. Enter the address of the home you’re interested in and different colored balloons will appear base upon the type of crimes in the area...no balloons, no crime! :) Once you zero in on a specific home go tour the neighborhood on different days and times of the week.
Mary, should you have any questions, concerns, or need additional help, please do not hesitate to contact me 405 - 562 - 0886 or e-mail: bill@billhaydenrealty.com... more

As a buyer's agent, here's what I tell all my clients:
You can read stats, ask opinions, and watch the news. But the best thing you can do is take a walk around the neighborhood during the day, at night, and then spend an hour hanging on the corner (don't sell anything....yet), during those two different times. When you see neighbors walking, ask them what they think of their 'hood.
You won't get a better safety report than that.... more

You are welcome. I understand your concerns since in the past my husband used to travel a lot and I know exactly the feeling of being alone. Please come and visit Bethel, Sunday mornings a lot of people go out to walk downtown, then brunch at Jacqueline's, lunch or dinner at La Zingara. You would love it too!... more

I lived at 1207 Obispo in a condo for 2 1/2 year at the corner of obispo and anaheim. Stores and transportation was very convient, but there is a lot of crime and transients in the area. I lived right across the street from the Ralph's market and there was always homeless people trying to sleep in our stairwells outside and loitering outside of our underground parking gate. As much as I loved my condo, I declined on buying the unit due to the crime in the area and the HOA fees. There are better condo in a better area down anaheim across the street from the golf course around the same price and around the traffic cirle. Hope this helps. Signed VA employee.... more
There are some good advice comments below, but I'll add that not always is crime reported. May I suggest that you find a great neighborhood then drive around at different times of the day, and at night. Then talk to a few neighbors. Also, check with the local SAFFE unit to see what has been reported but not officially filed.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi. I moved from NC and live in North Bay Village. It is very safe. The Police are always driving around and patrolling the areas. I really enjoy living here and find it to be a great community. Like the other poster said it is very affordable considering the prices for Waterfront condos in Miami and Miami Beach... more

Hi PrincipledStrategies,
I can look into the crime stats question for you for this home. Can you please respond by posting a link to the home you're looking at in this thread?
Thanks!

I had asked the same question and realtors cannot tell you due to fair housing regulations. Go to homefacts.com. Awesome site for any city in America!! It also gives you the run down on demographics, political and religious influences, hospitals, schools, colleges, polution, temps, etc.... and criminal offenders living in the area. Not only the basic crime stats, but pics and addresses of offenders in that neighborhood!! I am not a realtor anymore, so I can say this. I heard that the Pine Hills area outside of Orlando is bad..... just an FYI... Good luck!!... more
