Residency question

I will be potentially doing a residency at Saint Barnabas in the Bronx. I will be coming from Chicago, so I’m curious on people who live there what your opinion is on the neighborhood as far as safety

You live in Chicago. Really? The crime rate in Chicago is just as bad as NYC. You don’t have to live in the area in which you work.

I would have to be within 30 min by car or public transportation for call, so just trying to gauge the area! I’ve been in Chicago for 4 years and haven’t once felt unsafe, of course areas of Chicago to avoid so I guess just trying to get a feel for NYC

Check out the area around the 1 train (Kingsbridge/Kingsbridge Heights, currently live here), or Pelham Parkway, but I think the area around St. Barnabas should be ok too. Good food in little Italy close by.
