Wasn't sure where to post this question but after saving up I'm close to being able to buy a house & from general Zillow research can get the most bang for my buck in a gentrifying area outside my city's urban area but it's still pretty dark. Despite this, the area itself is gorgeous, brick roads, historic, near a river etc. Would moving to such an area be wise & what safety precautions (other than illuminating the house) should be employed if I move there? Any advice would be appreciated.
