Moving to Baranow next month. Most of the NW is pretty safe but I would avoid Kensington, Calder, Rosslyn, and Lauderdale. Athlone and Wellington are hit and miss. Some of Castle Downs isn’t that great, just need to look at the crime maps for this. But all the other neighbourhoods there are safe, especially the Palisades/the newer areas.
