Housing safety near Memorial Regional

Hi all,

Thrilled to have gotten a job at Joe Dimmagio Children's/Memorial Regional. My family and I plan to rent housing for a year or two prior to buying.

My question is - is it a generally safe area around the hospital area? I am looking in a 15 minute radius. Any certain areas to avoid? I don't need white picket fences and sharing eggs, when I say safe, I generally mean not regular car jackings, shootings, can walk around during the day and feel safe. We have a young child and I hope to be pregnant with another little one. Any insight would be extremely helpful!
