Hey all - we are originally from Rochester, living in Charleston, SC now. We are moving back for family and we would like to be in the city ( no kids ) in a nice area. Rochester is changing since I lived there 8 years ago and places that weren't great before are becoming popular - Southwedge, etc - so I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to pocket neighborhoods in the city. We are in our thirties, married, no kids - work for ourselves.
Wife wants someplace that she won't be scared to walk the dogs by herself during the day - hopefully at night.
Anyhow - there is a beautiful house for sale on Hazelwood Terrace EAST of Culver - in between Culver and Merchants - that has an open house on Sunday. The house is amazing -

I know west of Culver is bad - how would that area be?
Do you think my wife would feel safe? I know I would be fine, she has never lived in the city before, she grew up in Greece, which is now turning crappy in itself.
Thanks in advance, we are hoping to get a good feel for the neighborhood so we can make a decision. I've had people drive/walk by - and the consensus is that the street is very nice, but downsides are - West of Culver, and the proximity to East High.
