Crown Hill? Other areas? (Nashua: crime, neighborhood, to live in)

[Elainetangerine]

Can anyone tell me about the "Crown Hill" neighborhood in Nashua? In addition, are there specific areas to stay away from? My husband is an active duty Marine, & we're PCSing to Fort Devens but prefer to live in NH. We have a three year old daughter. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Some parts of Crown Hill are sketchy. Same for the Tree Streets and French Hill. There aren't any areas in Nashua that I would worry about driving through during daylight hours.

If you hunt around online for a crime map, you can get a feel for what sort of risk each area poses.

Crown Hill isn't the nice part of town, but it's ok. There's a nice park, and you've got easy access to Shaw's and downtown. You could do better; you could do worse.
