Considering house east of 95 near Forest Park Elementary

DINK couple. We fell in love with a house over there, the proximity to I95 and the beach. Some of the houses in there are well kept, some look like a war-zone. There’s no chance we could afford a house like this in a better/wealthier neighborhood. We know the schools the house is zoned for are not good at all —we’ll cross that bridge if/when kids come into the picture. Anyone have experience living in the area? Dangerous for my wife to walk our dog alone? We rent in east Boca now, and we have no safety concerns. This feels like it could be a different beast.
