    Is this Columbus Neighborhood Safe?

    Columbus Homes Blog wrote Is this Columbus Neighborhood Safe? – finally, a convenient answer for home buyers

    March 4th, 2008

    I get asked about the safety of neighborhoods all the time. “What do you think about this neighborhood—is it safe? Would you let your kids live here?” In general, I answer with a few sentences about how everyone has a different comfort level in regard to their surroundings and give a vague response that puts the responsibility back on the buyer to find out just how safe a neighborhood is.

    This is because as a Realtor, I really can’t answer that kind of question without the potential for breaking the law in regard to “steering” clients where to live, and more importantly, where not to live. Enter, CrimeReports.com. Now I can direct you to an awesome new site where the Columbus Police Department uploads its data. Crime statistics can be viewed on a google map mashup.

    It’s beautiful, it’s informative, it’s great information for everybody to know; not just those buying a home in or moving to Columbus, Ohio.
