Hi everyone,

I'm moving back to Phoenix and currently going to rent a house from a friend who owns a property there. It's on N 87th drive and I'm wondering about the crime rate in the general neighborhood area. When I lived there back in '01 it seemed like an alright area(take it I lived in Northern Phoenix) where the house is at since we hung out there from time to time, but all I hear is the area is bad. I don't really want to pack up and move to a house where my vehicles/belongings are gone every morning.

I really would think twice before I rented a house in that area. That's pretty much the Marvale area. The closest intersection is 91st Ave&Indian School. Even though the crime isn't as bad that far west, there's still quite a bit of activity going on in that particular area. If you have to be on that side of town why not choose Avondale as an alternative. Indian School gets considerably nicer if you drive west about 3 miles into Avondale. Nicer homes and apartments in safer neighborhoods. Goodyear is which is a little further out is even nicer. However if you must rent this house from your friend just make sure you take proper safety measures(lock doors, cars, etc). Just mind your business and you should be fine.
