i asked this question a bunch of times, as we almost got a home in that area (Amsterdam Ave, east of Belmont).
what i found out is that the area is pretty good, overall.
we drove around a lot, at different hours, and saw nothing to be overly concerned about.
We drove past the elementary school in the afternoon and saw a lot of generaly happy looking parents and kids. Talked to a few potential neighbors and got good reviews.
someone put in a higher offer than us so it fell through, i would've had no reservations.
still, would be good to hear some more first hand info.
