Cypress Hills is a nice, family oriented neighborhood. I live near there and my aunt has a house in the same neighborhood.
I play tennis and bike ride in Highland Park ALL summer.
You can pick the most terrifying-sounding thing from each neighborhood and come up with something you'd be afraid could happen to you. I personally would rather hear about something like that which most likely was some sort of domestic thing, or trafficking thing or whatever - not a stranger killing like what just happened to the woman inside her apartment in Chinatown or the other woman in the subway in Times square
If someone gets killed by a stranger in their apartment in Chinatown, or gets murdered by a stranger who throws them in front of a train in Times Square, and another gets their head cut off by someone they know in Cypress Hills, which neighborhood would you rather live in? Sort of a modern day NYC riddle.

It feels like crime is going up in every neighborhood in NYC. I'm very close to closing in on this deal and just accepting it. I feel like I wouldn't walk around at night and just sort of mind my own business with street smarts you know. I've been visiting the neighborhood and feeling fairly comfortable. In Williamsburg by Broadway where I live now I don't really walk around by myself when it's dark..... so maybe it'll be ok.

LOL... Isn't Cypress Hills basically right next to East New York? It's about as hood as it gets.

I think you'll be ok.
And congrats on getting more space.

It's a bit better/safer then ENY but not by much. I wouldn't even recommend Cypress Hills even during the Bloomberg years. And I use to frequent the area along with City Line back then.

TBH, I had been living there(the boundary of Cypress Hills and Woodhaven) for 5 years and hood was pretty safe. My neighbors were mostly Asians and Hispanics, they were nice but just noisy on holidays. I took the train a few times on midnight and could not find a damn seats because there were lots of people going to JFK. And I had been taking 5AM train to work and its been always packed after bway-junt.
