I've lived in Millard (westside of town) for a long time and I agree it is a real safe part of town. I recently took a job that is located downtown Omaha. I am really looking into getting a condo in the downtown area.
I just like it down here alot, your right in the center of things, with living in any downtown area you have to have street smarts which will keep you out of trouble. Alot of folks in Omaha I found out have no street smarts, and those are the folks that seem it get into trouble or become victoms.
Yes Millard is "safe" and "quite", but do not overlook what Downtown Omaha has to offer. I can tell you this, try getting around Millard during rush hour traffic

. No thanks.
