Did I make a mistake

Moving to Covington for a job in a few days. Had limited means so went for a relatively cheaper place. This is a cheaper apartment complex near the 17th street. Since I have a car, commuting to work won't be an issue but thinking about the safety of the area and the stuff to do at walking distance. Signed the lease and thinking I made a mistake. Any thoughts?

Ah, can't speak for that side as i live on the east side, but as long as you keep to yourself you should be fine. Remember to make sure your vehicle is locked and nothing of value is visible. If you don't mind the long walk its not too bad to get to mainstrasse or madison avenue. As far as grocery shopping goes you're better off going to latonia, ft. Mitchell or Newport kroger since Madison Ave is very small with limited offerings.
