It depends on your price, nw and ne Springfield will be the least expensive, and are the “sketchiest” but they are getting safer because first time home buyers are buying the houses that are being renovated really rapidly. It’s really not dangerous here except for on the streets. There are a lot of homeless people and you might get your bike lifted if you have a cheap lock but that’s it honestly, there aren’t gangs in Springfield.

Nicer places are around the south side of msu campus, to the east of it around cherry street is nice too, and then there are cookie cutter neighborhoods on south side, and they’re more expensive
