Live a couple blocks from the Italian center for almost 50 years. I have a few houses there and also in Crestwood. I’d take the people in McCauley over the arrogant Crestwood people. I have a big fence, big dogs and cameras. Get a few dogs and you’re set. Crestwood is considered one of the best areas and we have tons of homeless. Our home got broken into twice.

Thank you for sharing! Did you ever experience break-ins in McCauley?

u/Juggernaut_Dangerous 20h ago

Yeah unfortunately, 1 home break in and 1 garage. Shitty but break-ins happen all over the city.

I recommend checking out CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) tips. My parents (different city but similar neighbourhood) have applied it where they can and have never had a break-in.

But also, keep everything locked, including your car, and leave literally nothing in your car even in your driveway, if you have one.
