Not true. It's not like once you leave Farmington and enter New Britain that it's nice for three or four blocks and turns ghetto. That's Albany Avenue. Go past the mall and you're on Stanley Street by the golf course. It's beautiful over there: old colonials and tudor houses for at least a mile. Same thing with Corbin Avenue when you leave Kensington - a nice, tree-lined street that's well-kept and safe. They both have rough spots the further you go, and other parts are undesireable, but I wouldn't go so far as to say most of the town is unsafe. It's calmed down a bit compared to how it was in the '80s and '90s.

Downtown Middletown is fine. The northernmost part is a little iffy but I wouldn't call it unsafe. Over the last two decades it's improved alot & IMO it's still going through a revitalization process and that includes the northern tip of downtown and beyond.

What part of the preceding posts in this thread did you not see?

Meriden is iffy. Stay out of downtown, and you *should* be okay, but I think most of the apartments are in the downtown area. What you find outside of downtown is expensive - there are some on the east side, Newbury Village?, but they are not cheap from what I remember.
