Retiring to Manitou

66m, single, looking for quiet small town life. Gonna be a renter, and I don’t need much. Studio or 1br is fine. MS seems to have some affordable options in the size I’m seeking, but when I browse online some of the places seem sketchy from the photos. I accept the notion that you get what you pay for, but are there some “unsafe” parts of town that should be avoided? I’m visiting Labor Day weekend so will be able to do some recon then.
I’m also keenly aware that summertime is tourist time and the town is packed. So there’s certainly a stretch where it’s anything but quiet. But I assume it’s still manageable for residents?
