safe places to rent for female

hey folks. my partner may be attending broward college north campus in pompano beach starting in january. we will be coming down from new york city.

we are going to rent an apartment so was wondering what neighborhoods are safe for a female and what areas to avoid both in pompano beach/fort lauderdale area. we dont want to be more than a 25 min drive to the campus.

budget would be $2200/mo. gated/security building would be a bonus.

thanks in advance.
