Ok, theres allot of talk about The Bronx being "unsafe."
Let a person who was raised in The Bronx talk about The Bronx...its unsafe, lol. but not all parts. Most of it is good. Living there was great. I agree the more north the safer. Living in the city will be expensive. You might be interested living in Riverdale in The Bronx. You'll be fine.
check out the last paragraph on this web page.

Ever see HBO's "Hookers on the Point"? yep, in The Bronx, south to be exact.
