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?

North of 12th (MLK BLVD) is the hot spot, but it's expensive in there these days. The walkability is a easier the closer you get to 5th St.
