From my experience, it's pretty easy to avoid crime in Huntington, just don't do anything criminal yourself. The Southside, Southeast Hills, Westmoreland and Highlawn areas are the best areas in town. I live a block from Ritter Park and have never had any problems. Living in the other areas you listed will put you in a less densely populated area but your level of convenience may go way down. All of those areas are nice though. If there's any place specific you are looking at, I'd be glad to give some input. I live in Huntington now but I'm quite familiar with the other areas as well.
