William St. is safe. I know lots of people who’ve lived on that street through the years, and I looked at buying a house there about 10 years ago. Typical crime is property theft - stolen bikes, packages, occasionally cars. In other words, same types of crime that occurs in most of the recommended neighborhoods. It’s near the train tracks, not sure how often the train goes by.

You can sign up for emails from the Downtown / Wooster Square Community Management Team to keep up with local issues and crime stats.
