Default Grand Concourse 160th - 180th ???

I'm moving with my mother & boyfriend in about a month or two over to the bx on grand concourse. I've been around the bx many times & have many friends over there but I'm not too familiar with this area besides just driving through & going to Yankee games. We haven't found a place yet, but my mother wants to be around 160th - 180th & I also believe she was thinking about Walton from 161st - 164th. What blocks would you recommend & which ones would you say are the worst? Any side streets to stay away from? I want straight up answers & none of that Moderator cut: stuff about how they are trying to make the bx nicer and how its becoming such a good neighborhood. I know what kind of crime goes on in the bx & I know it's not great, but neither is Yonkers where I live. I'm mostly worried about my mother walking by herself at night, I don't want anyone to bother her. Oh & does anyone know what the rent might be for a 2 bedroom? Or any good sites to find apartments, besides craigslist? Any info is helpful =]

As long as you do not go on the side blocks. You will be okay. The Concourse above 170th street gets pretty bad.

Yeah, Walton is not that nice of a strip. The Concourse and it's sideblocks above 170th are rough.
