I'm moving to this address in Hamilton NJ, which happens to be on the border of Trenton. The house is in the 900s of Lalor Street, Hamilton Township NJ. The payment has already been made for the house and I am prepared to move in, but I was wondering about the safety of the area, I have a dog and I'll be walking it and I want to know how safe it is, and my daughter will also be commuting to college from this new address and I want her to be safe as well. I don't want her getting shot or raped somehow by driving through the wrong neighborhoods, so if anybody could give me a run down that would be great.. Thank you.
Safety isn't good right now. I have a friend who lives in that neighborhood and he said there were two drive-by's in the past month. Some blocks are better than others, obviously.

So what do you recommend I do? I'm moving into this house early March, what am I to expect there? I already met the neighbors none of which seemed hostile, they were all relative friendly and elderly.
As long as she's getting home by car it shouldn't be too bad. If you guys want to take the train for whatever reason, the Hamilton train station is much further from you than the Trenton one.
It's definitely safer on that side of Broad Street, but you still don't really want to walk the streets alone at 10:00 at night. I was picking up another friend of mine at the Trenton Transit Center one night after he was coming back from Philly (which can be gritty itself late at night) and we couldn't find each-other. He was panicking. Took over an hour. Poor guy from the Suburbs, lol. Unfortunately, to transfer to Hamilton or Princeton Junction costs more money, and it's a separate line (from Philadelphia)... so he wanted to be picked up in Trenton. But Trenton also has other lines that go to New York and to Camden (respectively). Hamilton only has the New York line.
Lalor's bark is worse than its bite. A fine area, a lot of hard-working Central American immigrant families. A little rough around the edges, but not bad.
