Hi everyone!
I found an apartment near Rectory Ave. and North Main Street, the apartment looks nice but i don't know anything about this neighborhood. I know port chester is a safe place to live in general but still i want to make sure this area is safe because i'm a single woman and will be living alone.
Please help me out, any thoughts are appreciated!

I always found that if it looks good during the day go back at night when everyone is home. Walk around with a friend, stop in a local store or restauraunt. You'll pick up if it's right for you.

Thank you! VA Yankee!

My neighbors in the building are pretty nice, I'm worried about walking my way home from train station, is it safe to walk alone?

I am not in P Chester now. Have a friend walk with you at night and you decide if it feels right. That area is normally not a problem spot.

Port Chester has a kind of bad reputation because it has a large immigrant Hispanic population. In fact, it is this population that helped turn around what was a deteriorated village with a virtually abandoned downtown.

I have never heard much about muggings and mayhem in Port Chester. I have, however, heard great things about the cheap Central American restaurants.

I guess any town that doesn't look like a loaf of white bread must be a problem area....

Thank you Rubygreta!
