How safe is the area around MG on the Halifax condominium complex?

its right off Mason, which is a bad area. But it's close to beachside, so it's not too awful, and it's on the other side of the street. But I wouldn't invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to live there. I'd go over the bridge.

There was also some talk that one of the buildings was slightly tilted. That area is pretty rough.

I've been in some of the units -- they have stunning views of both the Halifax River and the Atlantic!

It's gated with a guarded entrance and I haven't heard or read of any problems or issues. The old Farmer's Market is across the street and is on Thursday nights. You can walk to Caribbean Jack's Restaurant or other ones on Seabreeze Blvd. over the bridge.

Lots of people (including me) bike or walk the Seabreeze Bridge and Ballough Road Trail that runs along the Halifax River -- all the way from Downtown Daytona Beach to Granada Blvd (SR 40) Bridge in Ormond Beach. It's a very beautiful ride and I feel safe, even in the evenings. There are plenty of "normal" people both biking and walking around, so obviously I'm not the only person with this opinion.

Every time I pass through this area it seems to be improving with fixed up properties and new businesses moving in.

Many people who post on this thread seem to believe historical residential areas are "bad" for some reason. I like the charm of them as there aren't many in Florida. The area might have been rough 10 years ago, so obviously people who haven't been since then don't really know!
